Disfiguring The Goddess Debut “Low Slam Low” Ahead Of ‘Bloom’

Disfiguring The Goddess have unveiled “Low Slam Low,” the first single from their upcoming album ‘Bloom’, due out July 31 through Seek And Strike. The new track arrives after the band signed a worldwide deal with the label, with Cameron “Big Chocolate” Argon describing the record as the next step in the project’s evolution.

“Partnering with Seek and Strike marks a natural and timely evolution for Disfiguring The Goddess. As the working title became official, ‘Bloom’ took on a deeper symbolic weight; it represents DTG awakening from a long slumber to become what it was always intended to be. I see myself as the fire-keeper for that vision, and Seek and Strike arrived at the perfect moment to add the energy and momentum needed for this next stage.”

Argon said “Low Slam Low” was built around a slam-heavy approach and that the song’s crushing low-end tone, eerie atmosphere, and lyrical contrast make it one of the album’s most brutal cuts.

“The album’s first single, ‘Low Slam Low,’ is one of the most brutal and relentless songs on the album. It was written with a very intentional slam-focused mindset, shifting between blast beats and crushing slams that gradually morph into slower, heavier forms of themselves. A huge part of the song’s character comes from the guitar tone.

I tracked it with my Gretsch Baritone tuned extremely low, and I love how much body and texture that instrument carries. On parts of this song, the guitar stops feeling like a traditional riff instrument and starts becoming more like a wall of physical texture, with the notes nearly disappearing under the weight of the tone. When the bridge hits, that is where the actual voice of the guitar comes through more clearly. The whole track is also surrounded by creepy sound design that keeps shadowing the brutality and pushing the atmosphere further.

Lyrically, it is one of my favorite songs on the record because of how strange and personal it feels. There is a moment in it where I am talking about being completely alone with my thoughts, while at the same time the opening of ‘My Girl’ by The Temptations is looping in my head. That contrast captures something I really love about the song. To me, it feels like a unique contribution not only to this album, but to the more brutal and slam-oriented side of heavy music right now.”

Argon also said ‘Bloom’ represents both a new chapter and a closing one for Disfiguring The Goddess.

“‘Bloom’ is an album about accumulation, cultivation, and execution. There are a lot of themes running through it, both personal and sonic, but when I step back and look at the bigger picture, it symbolizes nurturing the seed of DTG until it finally blossoms. It is the beginning of a new chapter and the closing of an old one.”

This summer, Disfiguring The Goddess will hit the road with AngelMaker and Ingested on the ‘Canadian Heritage Tour’, which runs across Canada in July and August.
