"first of all, SLUTET is split up and existed between the summer of 2013 and the autumn of 2019.
this is collection of old Slutet rehearsals and sloppy leftovers. this release will be DIGITAL only, and free to download. this release has been assembled for purely personal reasons but we can't see the point of withholding it from the listeners either. so here you go.
DISCLAIMER
Slutet does NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE NEW TO SLUTET TO LISTEN TO THIS MATERIAL. This is SLUTET memorabilia for hardcore maniacs only. It is very rough and sloppy, and it is bonus material. I can hardly imagine this interests many people at all. The main canon of Slutet is "Begynnelsen" and "Love & Beauty." If you're interested in SLUTET, start there. This is just a side freak show released for purposes of personal creative closure as well as a last salute to those who cares and cared about SLUTET. Slutet rehearsed for the first time on september 1, 2013 and the band played together for the last time on october 28, 2019, concluding our "Love & Beauty" album recording sessions.
Notes and info on the tracks:
1. this is the full title of the song called "Those Who Seek the World..." on the first demo cassette. The title is lifted from a dialogue in polish film "Na Srebrnym Globie" (1988), a huge inspiration on early SLUTET.
2. one of the first full rehearsals of "Raped Beauty Sleep"
3. The title translates to "The Youth House" and is a youth center/café were we rehearsed at the time.
4. when we were about to conclude the recording session for the first demo tape, randomly we heard a knock on the rehearsal room door. we opened and to our surprise, there stood Kenta. a complete stranger, a homeless person, a rugged, weathered old man. we invited him in and played this for him.
5. a classic soundtrack to those times; Brainbombs. we haphazardly played this one as warm-up and whatnot.
6. this is the full title of the song called "We Reap Our Crops..." on the second demo cassette.
7. just some random drug-fuelled rehearsal night; we had many of those. you'd be pretty safe to skip this one. this one is more of a personal memory than anything else.
8. as with track 7, most people can skip this one. this is just trivia. an alternate unreleased edit of the third demo cassette into one great 30+ minute track.
9. this is an early rehearsal with the new guitarist we acquired in 2015
10. there was once talk of incorporating electronix into the music of SLUTET. we did this as a kind of "sketch", but abandoned the idea subsequently, obviously. it was more of a fun thing to do than a serious idea, i think.
11. the title translates from swedish to "Meat" or "Flesh" and was the working title for "Sperm-Spitting Mouth" from the "Love & Beauty" LP
12. the title translates from swedish to "Mirror Song" and was the worknig title for "Indo-European Storm" from the "Love & Beauty" LP
13. an abandoned semi-improvised track that was initially envisioned as part of the "Love & Beauty" LP. it was successively abandoned. we rehearsed and worked on it in 2018 and early 2019 before abandoning by the summer of 2019. we opted to do the "The Gloomy Ride...." track instead of another black metal song, and besides, we were sick of playing together."
