Slapdash was a Swedish groove and thrash metal band from Västerås , which was founded in 1995 and split up in 1998.

history

The band was founded in 1995 by the former Rosicrucian members Lars Lindén (electric guitar, vocals), Magnus Söderman (electric guitar) and bassist Fredrik Jacobsen and drummer Jhonny "Berget" Bergman. In 1996 the band signed a recording deal with MNW Zone . In the same year the EP Bound was released , whereupon the group covered the Stormtroopers-of-Death song Kill Yourself . In October 1996 the debut album 240.25 Actual Reality followed, which was recorded in the Studio Underground in Västerås and mixed in the Quest Studio in Uppsala . The album again contains a cover version: Free Your Mind , originally by En Vogue . The song features Patrik Wirén from Misery Loves Co. and Tobias Danielsson from Mindjive as guest vocalists . Lasse Lindh later joined as the new bass player. In 1996 the group also contributed a cover version of the Sator song Heyday for a sampler for Backstage Magazine . In 1998 the band split up. A year earlier, Söderman and Lindh had founded the band Zeelion with singer Pelle Saether. In the following years both and the other members devoted themselves to other projects.

style

Adrian Bromley from chroniclesofchaos.com stated in his review that the band on Bound is strongly reminiscent of Pantera , occasionally Machine Head and vocal-wise Korn . The music sounds repetitive and sounds more like the group listening to Far Beyond Driven or Burn My Eyes in a loop, so that the music lacks identity and personality. In his review of 240.25 Actual Reality , Uwe “Buffo” Schnädelbach from Rock Hard wrote that there was a mixture of “tough grooves , aggressive rhythms and brutal vocals” reminiscent of Machine Head and Pantera. These genre relatives have been combining the "precision and speed of Thrash Metal with the anger and energy of Hardcore " for years . In a later rock-hard interview with Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann , Lars Lindén stated that the band had already played Thrash Metal with Rosicrucian since 1986, which was before the release of Machine Heads Burn My Eyes , whereby he acquitted himself that Slapdash imitated this group. He is also more of a fan of groups like SOD
