Third and final single from their upcoming album »Atlas«!

The end of the line. The final transmission before landfall.

»Turboslak« is Motsus completing the circle. After the razor-fast urgency of »Short Notice« and the hypnotic drift of “Driver”, this is the band’s heaviest statement yet—a five-and-a-half-minute crusher that marks both an ending and a beginning.

The name itself – Dutch slang for something thick, sludgy, unstoppable – says it all. This is polder doom at its most visceral. Grooves that lumber like tectonic shifts, riffs thick enough to bend gravity, and a relentless forward momentum that refuses to stop. No psychedelic detours here. Just raw, unfiltered heaviness.

Following »Short Notice«’s speed and »Driver«’s meditation, »Turboslak« reveals the closing chapter of MOTSUS’s evolution: they’ve traveled from urgency through drift to arrive at pure, crushing presence. Like the interstellar objects that inspired »Oumuamua« and now »Atlas«, the journey ends where it began – grounded, heavy, inevitable.

Recorded at Dunk!Studio’s in Zottegem and mixed & mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén, with artwork by guitarist Tom Maene.

The freight train has arrived. Brace for impact.
