History[]
Spaceslug would form in June 2015 by guitarist Bartosz Janik and drummer Kamil Ziółkowski, following with bassist Jan Rutka joining. Four months after the band would form work would begin on a debut album, recording at Odbiornik Studio. The end result would be the band's debut album Lemanis, released 6 February 2016 to positive reviews. Performing with contemporaries in the Polish stoner scene and gaining momentum, work would begin on a follow-up recording at MAQ Studio & Satanic Audio the next January. Time Travel Dilemma would see release on 17 February 2017 via Oak Island Records and BSFD Records, just a little over a year after their debut. An EP in Mountains & Reminiscence would follow the next year on 22 September 2017, with the band also signing to Kozmik Artifactz for exclusive distribution.
Spaceslug would release their third album Eye The Tide on 20 July 2018, surrounding appearances at Summer Dying Loud and Gathering Festival, followed by a tour of Europe and an appearance at Freak Valley Festival the next year. A second EP in Reign of The Orion would see release on 6 December 2019 to positive reviews and a short tour in 2020. The band were intended to tour Europe with Forming The Void but ultimately would be forced to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After some quiet months the band would return to performing live, making an appearance at Seeknifinace Festival in Austria.[1]
