Slash - Orgy of the Damned (2024)

A great cover takes something old and makes it new again. This is the philosophy behind Slashs new album, Orgy Of The Damned, a collection of 12 dynamic songs that shakes up and revitalised blues classics with a stripped down, instinctive approach. Working in a similar way to his 2010 self-titles solo LP Slash, which featured multiple guest vocalists, the acclaimed guitarist teamed up with numerous musicians and singers to create a singular expression that pays homage to the blues. By celebrating both well-known and largely undiscovered songs, Slash offers a nostalgic nod to the past while reinvigorating the songs with his inimitable guitar playing and the spirit of collaboration. Blues inspired album with iconic guests such as Chris Stapleton, Iggy Pop, Gary Clarke Jr and Beth Hart. The songs covered highlight classics by blues heavyweights including Muddy waters, Howlin Wolf, Steppen Wolf, Stevie Wonder and more.
