Doomed Confessionary: Henrik L. (Slôdder)
Slôdder is a misanthropic sludge band from Wermland, Sweden. Founded in 2016, the quartet consists of Henrik L. (vocals), CJ (guitar), Martin (bass, vocals) and Henrik Ö. (drums).
Incensed and out for blood, Slôdder returned with ill intent, following up their 2023 album »A Mind Designed To Destroy Beautiful Things« with »Narcissist«, released on November 26th, 2025 via Shit County Records.
With eyes on the future, Slôdder will be inflicting their sonic pain live and often in 2026, which also heralds the band’s 10th anniversary. Stay tuned for more on the milestone, something wicked this way comes…
