Supported by specialist heavy-music and doom-focused radio shows across the UK and Europe, including features on community and independent stations championing sludge, doom, and experimental heavy music.
Celebrated for their collaborations with Conan and revered for their influential role in the modern UK sludge/doom scene, with multiple albums earning high praise from leading underground heavy-music critics.
At the core of Slomatics’ sound is a devotion to sheer sonic mass: downtuned guitars, thick distorted textures, and trance-like rhythms that grind forward with ritualistic intensity. Instead of relying on speed, they focus on feel, tone, and atmosphere - crafting songs that are overwhelming in scale yet surprisingly meditative. Their music bridges sludge, doom, drone, and space-psych, often evoking the sense of standing at the edge of some vast, ancient landscape. Khan’s music thrives on contrast — crushing low-end weight against moments of near-fragile clarity. Their songwriting leans into long, evolving structures where riffs don’t just hit, they unfold, carrying tension, release, and emotional depth. From swirling atmospheric layers to explosive sludge-driven power, Khan build soundscapes that feel vast and alive, rooted in mood as much as in heaviness. Every track moves with intention, revealing new textures and emotional peaks the deeper you listen.
Their long-standing presence in the UK and Irish doom scenes, collaborative projects with other heavy luminaries, and repeated festival appearances have cemented them as one of the most respected forces in modern sludge and drone-doom. Their music continues to evolve toward a deeper, atmospheric heaviness that remains unmistakably their own.
