The band's name, Slough Feg, or more formally, The Lord Weird Slough Feg, is taken from the main villain in a British comic book series title Slaine which setting was in places named in Celtic Myth. Those myths, as recounted in the historical tome known as the Ta'in Bo Cuailgne (thawn bo quel'gny), provide the fodder for many of Mike's lyrical topics, although subjects such as mental evolution, moral mastery, and your basic misery and madness also tend to crop up, even when not related to mythology.

The Lord Weird Slough Feg are a band that is frequently compared to Manilla Road .More for their epic, unique style of heavy metal ( something they share w/ MR ) then for actually sounding like them. They are both very much their own animal but they do travel along similar paths. I have all of their CDs and being as they are one of my favorites ( and not that well known ) I will be showcasing their discography here in this thread starting with the S/T debut.

From the description they sound like a metal band I can enjoy...I think I know where to find one of their albums...

 

[Sox]

I have just listened to a few samples as I have never come across them before and I like what I hear. Gonna sniff around a bit for sure. Nice one.

A bit rawer version of Slough Fey but as one fan put it ...."Slough Feg's weakest, but that's kinda like the worst supermodel you've ever slept with. Y'know? "

"Slough Feg's weakest, but that's kinda like the worst supermodel you've ever slept with. Y'know? "

I will remember that one for a while...

Haven't heard this album. Have Traveller on CD. Haven't listened to it for a long time. I think I'll change that today.

Glad to see that you ( Joe ), Sox, Noodlez and LG are liking these guys. A really great band. The best is yet to come ,Joe. I personally like Down Among The Dead Men, as far as favorites go.

 

[joe]

Haven't heard any other albums from the band. A buddy of mine is a big fan and recommended me Traveller about five years ago. Good stuff.
