Slower, the Slayer tribute project featuring Amy Barrysmith (Year Of The Cobra), Laura Pleasants (Kylesa), Bob Balch (Fu Manchu), Peder Bergstrand (Lowrider), Scott Reeder (Fireball Ministry, ex-Kyuss), and Esben Willems (Monolord), have shared their cover of “Blood Red.” This track is from the band’s self-titled debut album, which will be released on January 26. Balch commented:
“When I started this project I kind of had a feeling ‘Blood Red’ would find its way onto the chopping block. The groove is undeniably heavy at any speed and the arrangement is pretty straightforward. I sent Esben some scratch tracks to jam to and he killed it as usual. Then I tracked my guitars with actual amps. We sent all of that to Amy to lay down vocals. She absolutely nailed it!! After that, I used a single coil Reverend with a whammy bar for the solos. Peder’s bass was the last piece of the puzzle. He made it so much heavier! It didn’t think that was possible haha. I wanna thank all the players involved in this one. Enjoy!”
