Based in Galway and originally from the depths of Connemara in the west of Ireland, Ten Ton Slug has ingested five humans and leaves a trail of groove-laden sludge metal in its wake.
Through intense and crushingly heavy live performances, The Slug has been steadily gathering momentum, building a rapidly increasing fan-base and reputation across the British Isles over the past few years, embarking on a number of mini-tours through England, Scotland and Ireland with prominent underground bands.
Performances at Bloodstock 2016, support slots with Crowbar on the full Irish leg of their UK tour in March 2017 and slots with touring bands in Ireland and abroad such as Ohhms, Slabdragger, Planet of Zeus, Mage, Ramage Inc. and many others have cemented their reputation as a tight, hard-working and driven live band.
Three releases over the three years 2015-17: ‘Live at the Oaks’ in 2015, ‘Brutal Gluttonous Beast’ in 2016 and a limited edition CD run of ‘Live at the Siege of Limerick’ in July 2017, which sold out in 24 hours, have all been extremely well received by both audiences and critics alike. They released the album 'Colossal Oppressor' in 2024. This album made our top ten list of best Irish albums of 2024.
