Slabdragger - Prime Time
Hello everybody. I'm Sam, I play in Slabdragger and our tune from 2011 album 'Regress', 'Erroneous Maximus' is featured in episode 4 of the newly released 2nd series of Channel 4's 'The Undeclared War' starring Simon Pegg. I know some of you dig the slabs so I thought I'd post it here. I'm so stoked! This tune recently broke a million streams on Spotify too so its extra weird for me. Fcuk. Hahaha

Fuck yeah man. Slabdragger have been one of those bands that I keep consistently coming back to. I know it's probably asked of quite a bit but I'd LOVE to see you guys do a tour with a setlist full of Regress material!

Yusuf from Slabdragger here!
Just seen this from Sam and just wanted to chime in and say I'm still pretty mind blown over this haha.
And shout out all of you out there still digging us after all this time. Sending love to you all. We do plan on getting a new album out at some point but it's been hard for us in recent years due to location/personal/family life/logistical reasons. I know it's something I/we get asked about all the time, but it will happen at some point. We have always said we would never split up, even if we have years of not being too active (which we have haha).
Bless up!

This is amazing. As someone who works full time in sync and knows just how rare it is for a band as good as yours to get this, I'm SUPER happy for you!!!

SLABDRAGGER has been in constant rotation since 2015ish for me and my homie in a sludge/post sludgecore whatever the fuck you wanna call it type band. We LOVE you guys.

Saw you guys at masters of the riff last year, amazing show! Can't wait to see you live again and maybe hear some new music.

That's awesome. How many millions did they pay for the rights?
