It was only a matter of time before the paths of Doomentia Records and doom/sludge/stoner band Slať would inevitably cross. An active name in the Czech underground, the group is now supported by a label that operates very close to its genre. Slať was formed in 2021 in the lively underground of Brno and the line-up includes active and former members of well-known acts like Gospel Of The Future, Nikander, and Kandar. A successful debut demo from the same year set the direction for Slať’s future and the band is now releasing their much anticipated LP.

Slať means “peat bog” in Czech and the album »Elegie Propastná« brings a proper mud bath. The quartet takes you on a thoroughly dismal and harrowing ride with a slow pace of traditional doom metal and a touch of more accessible stoner rock progressions, while also drowning you in icy waves of sludge. Slať will pull you in with powerful Sabbath-esque riffs and won’t let go. Haunting female vocals are the icing on the cake. Sometimes unbridled, sometimes eerily pure, as if hanging on to the last minutes of life. The sound of Slať is as heavy as the arrival of a biblical cataclysmic wave that will bury all those who refuse to sway to the beat in ecstasy.
