UK Groove Metallers STRUCK/DOWN Share New Single “The Slog” & Music Video

 

FFO: Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Trivium

 

Canterbury alternative/groove metal unit STRUCK/DOWN have shared their ferocious, planetary and riff-laden new single, titled “The Slog“, today (26th Sept) via self-release, alongside a rowdy music video.

Tackling themes of persevering through the natural strife and obstacles of life, discussing “The Slog“, the band states: “The song is from the perspective of someone right on the edge of becoming nothing, and wondering whether it’s worth even pulling away from such a conclusion.”

They continue, “”The Slog” references issues with image, self worth, health, disease, and trust in the wrong friends. Everyone’s experience is very different, but those that take on the slog of tomorrow are champions in our eyes.”

The track’s release comes following a string of singles from the alt-metal quintet, with “A Queue For The Cure“, “This Tall To Ride” and “One Last Drag” all establishing the band’s growing and monolithic presence. With the promise of more to come, and a debut LP on the horizon, the near-future is looking promising for STRUCK/DOWN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based out of Kent, STRUCK/DOWN are a modern groove metal outfit that are all about riffs, grooves and huge hooks. Drawing from a range of influences, such as MastodonLamb of GodGojira and more, STRUCK/DOWN‘s vice-like grasp on the modern groove metal sound no more evident than in the band’s latest single, “The Slog” — a planetary, riff-laden slice of modern heavy goodness.

Since the release of the band’s debut EP, From Demons, in November of 2021, the band have been consistently making waves within the UK metal scene. With appearances at such venerated UK festivals as Bloodstock Open Air, alongside supporting slots for the likes of Raging SpeedhornSTRUCK/DOWN‘s impact in such a short time is undeniable.

The release of sophomore EP, To Witches, in 2023 saw the band further establish themselves and garner even more critical acclaim, which caught the attention of the likes of Metal Hammer and Emerging Rock Bands. Now, with a debut LP on the horizon, the future is looking even brighter for the modern metallers.
