Cruz Del Sur Release Slough Feg's "Hardworlder"

Hardworlder is the sixth studio album for American legend Slough Feg. This band has the ability of progressing further year after year, tour after tour, album after album. Where this ability comes from it’s easy to say, it can be simply found in their perseverance, in their normality somehow, in their being true a belief: to play Heavy Metal outside of schemes, of momentary trends. Today they are finally recognized as one of the leaders of the US metal community, claimed as “influence” by young bands and artists.

The cover artwork, by American cartoonist James E. Lyle, strengthens this concept; the “Hardworlder” is a man who’s been through lot of perils but still keeps on ticking... It can be seen as a metaphor of what Slough Feg was during all these years in metal. But the album itself is a tribute to Rock Music, with the best guitars ever heard on a Slough Feg album, and the precise and always present rhythmic section.

Producer Justin Phelps, incidentally an original member of Slough Feg himself, gave the right 70s focus on an album which also delivers two delicious cover songs, the Irish Folk Rock classic “Dearg Doom” (originally performed by Horslips) and the Manilla Road's “Streetjammer.”

Line up:
Michael Scalzi - Vocals/Lead guitar
“Don" Angelo Tringali - lead guitar
Adrian Maestas - bass guitar
