Carved from a foundation of groove-rich heft, melodic bite, and frostbitten desert attitude, SLOMOSA’s sound channels the legendary Palm Desert scene mixed with the raw intensity of Nordic rock.

Since dropping their self-titled 2020 debut, the band has bulldozed through 350+ shows in 20+ countries, sharing stages with High On Fire, Mastodon, Alkaline Trio, Helmet, Elder and more, earning a reputation as one of the most commanding live acts in heavy music.

In April of 2025, SLOMOSA won the Spellemann Award (“Norwegian Grammys”) for Rock Album Of The Year with their critically acclaimed sophomore release, Tundra Rock (September, 2024). The album vaulted them into the global spotlight, solidifying their place as the new vanguard of Nordic heaviness. Last Summer, the band dropped a blistering 14-track live concert film, captured at the iconic USF Verftet in their hometown of Bergen, a high-decibel testament to their atmospheric, distortion-soaked live presence.

Their rise has earned the attention of bona fide rock royalty: Adam Jones (Tool) has publicly championed the band. At the same time, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri of Kyuss fame have both declared themselves fans of SLOMOSA’s crushing sonic force.

SLOMOSA:
Ben Berdous – vocals, guitar
Marie Moe – vocals, bass
Tor Erik Bye – guitar
Jard Hole – drum
