Slowly Drowning is an atmospheric Alternative Metal project emanating from the psychological abyss.
Emerging from the Obsidian Ocean, a liquid consciousness forged from humanity’s collective regrets and shattered identities – this masked duo creates a devastating, cosmic horror soundscape for those lost in the dark.
Cloaked in mystery, Slowly Drowning are ready to emerge from the shadows. Their debut single ‘Inside Out’ is out Today, 14th of July. The Belfast based duo delivers up a pulsating blast of alternative metal that pulls no punches.
In relation to their upcoming debut single the band describes:
“Inside Out” is a descent into the fractured abyss of the self. It explores the suffocating anxiety of feeling lost, submerged beneath the weight of a thousand shifting identities.”
“Whether drowning in the toxic gravity of a destructive relationship or violently wrestling with your own internal demons, the song captures the terror of looking in the mirror and not recognizing the face staring back. You are a mosaic of shattered versions of yourself—trapped in a cosmic loop, trying to escape a toxicity that might just be your own creation. In the end, how do you flee from yourself?”
To the surface world, they are drowning. To the depths, they are finally breathing.
The band’s sonic ritual is anchored by two primordial states of being:
Null (The Erasure): The crushing weight of the deep. Null commands the heavy, aggressive alternative metal assault—the brutal pressure of the depths.
V O I D (The Emptiness): The cold, shimmering expanse. V O I D commands the dark, electronic pulse—the echoing, atmospheric chill where eldritch horrors dwell.
Through fractured masks and an immersive, multi-dimensional production, Slowly Drowning invites their listeners, The Drowned, to shed their egos and embrace the fragmentation.
The duo describes their music as one that shows:
“The surface is a lie. The reflection is a cage. We find our truth in the shards at the bottom.”
