“PACKED WITH MEMORABLE, HARD-HITTING SONGS AND POWERED BY A CRUSHING PRODUCTION, CIMBRIAN RITES IS A FIRST-CLASS DEBUT THAT LEAVES NO ROOM FOR BOREDOM”
“CIMBRIAN RITES IS ALSO PROOF POSITIVE THAT, WHEN IN THE RIGHT HANDS, SOMETHING FRESH, NEW, AND THRILLING CAN BE MADE OUT OF THE OLD. SURE, THIS ALBUM WOULD BE MORE AT HOME IN THE 80S THAN THE MID 20S, BUT CONSIDERING THE OVERLY DERIVATIE NATURE OF TODAYS SO-CALLED METAL, SPEEDSLUT SOUNDS CUTTING EDGE”
“IN EXTREME SUBGENRES OF METAL, THE BEST WORK OFTEN LEAVES LISTENERS BATTERED, BRUISED, AND SHELLSHOCKED – YET DOESN’T OVERSTAY IT’S WELCOME. CIMBRIAN RITES AT 35 MINUTES HAS THAT VINYL-LENGTH QUALITY SURE TO APPEASE ALL BLACKENED SPEED METAL MANIACS – PUTTING SPEEDSLUT ON THE GLOBAL MAP IN A BIGGER WAY”
“WHEN THE DUST FINALLY SETTLES, WE ARE LEFT WITH ONE HELL OF A DEBUT-ALBUM. CIMBRIAN RITES HAS EVERYTHING A GREAT SPEED METAL ALBUM NEEDS, WITHOUT EVER FEELING LIKE A COPY”
bio
Under the cursed smokestacks of the North Jutland Heath, Speedslut emerges. Wielding the unbridled fury of the early metal scene their sonic onslaught is a call to violence.
From the very beginning, Speedslut embraced the ethos of speed, power, and unapologetic defiance, garnering critical acclaim and fervent support from fans and critics alike, recognizing the band’s dedication to their craft, as well as their unrelenting live shows. Their shows are described as intense and continuous, a set built around the doctrine of total sonic supremacy, a loud and direct show of force.
The band’s first recorded statement, Ferocity of Steel, was a clear representation of the band’s direction, a foreboding release rooted in early metal yet described by critics as channeling the genre "apocalyptic blackened speed". Ferocity of Steel firmly established the band’s identity and revealed them to the world.
Now signed to French independent label Listenable Records, the band has unleashed its debut full-length album CIMBRIAN RITES - A heavy metal crusade spanning the footsteps of the ancient Cimbrians to the asbestos-swept streets of our industrial North; channeling our blackened speed as we march towards death, glory, and domination expanding on the uncompromising spirit of the onslaught brought upon the world by Ferocity of Steel.
