In the summer of 2023, British vocalist/guitarist Pete decides to embark on a new path for personal reasons and leaves Sloper. It looked bleak for the band at that moment. The remaining band members Mario Goossens, Cesar Zuiderwijk, and Fabio Canini faced a dilemma as they were already heavily involved in new recordings. What to do? They enlisted the help of Jan Bas and Bas Soetens (what’s in a name!?) and continued working on new material for a second round.

The new tracks promise much more than the classic rock on the debut album Pulverise. Of course, ‘rock’ still forms the basis of the Sloper DNA, but now there are a lot of other influences added, resulting in a surprising and diverse album. The band has since signed a contract with Warner Music. A first single, Therapy, is set to be released at the end of february, and the release of a new album is scheduled for September 24.
