21 st of June 2008	Kalle	New amp I have tested a new Amp and decided to do a changeover from my old 5150 to the Krank Krankenstein amp. The Krank Amp does have a more versatile sounds spectra than the Peavey amp. I liked the modified 5150 a lot, but I just could not ignore the fact that the saturating gain and the tight bottom end of the Krankenstein made my bones shiver............So thats it - God bye 5150 / Welcome Krankenstein. We are currently working with some new material and I am sure that a couple of months from now You will be able to hear the outcome from that. Until then..........Keep it metal!!!
6 th of May 2007	Kalle	Release Of Spokesmen and Headbangers Bowl Thanks everybody for showing up on Headbangers B.....We had a blast performing the new songs for U!!!! Right now we´re in the stage of booking new gigs, please stay tuned for the next ones......... Meanwhile..........ROCK HARD!!!
3 rd January 2007	Kalle	recording session booked Recording date for next EP is set it´ll be late April - more details later on news section...... This means that the release party on the 31st of march is postponed. The release party will be held in May instead......... HORNS UP!!!
1st October 2006	Johan	To all of U! To all of you who came to the gig yesterday in Hjo, I salute you. Together, we made a kick ass show and I´ll see all of you again sometime! A big fuckin thanks to all old time friends from the time I lived in Hjo, and a SPECIAL THANKS to my hardrockin´ mother and my two sisters who I now know got the same metal-genes flowing in their veins! Love you
20th September 2006	Anders	Some words from the new bass player! I thought I would share some thoughts with you Sluggerz out there. I´ve been around with the band for almost a month now and it´s only a few days ´til my premiere gig with SLUG. Even thou it is far from my first live appearance it seems the nervousity never stops. And I´ve heard it´s something good! I don´t know…ha ha. It´s never easy to join a band as a new member. Especially not when the other guys have been around for quite some time. They know each others playing styles, they have "silent" rules within the band, they have a specific way of working with songs e.t.c. But this was never a problem in SLUG. I´ve been welcomed as one of the "guys" from day one and I´m extremely grateful for that. I really love playing with these lads. One thing that seemed a bit unusual in the beginning is the fact that I come from a totally different school for bass players, than Johan Arvidsson, my predecessor. I think it was a huge twist or turn around for the original members but now I´m pretty sure they like my way of playing. And I hope I manage to give the songs a new dimension, bass-wise. At least that´s my strife when playing these fantastic songs. You judge at our shows! I have to admit that I had my doubts about joining SLUG when Kalle asked me to join their forces. I knew the guys from earlier so that wasn´t a problem. It was mainly because I haven´t played Bass guitar regularely for two years since I made my last gig with INCAPACITY back in August of 2004, but also because I have difficulities planning my days due to a lot of engagements that are of importance for me. I was afraid that some engagements would be suffering because of yet another focus. It seems everything works out just fine, mostly because of the understanding from the rest of the guys. I really do thank you! And believe my word sluggerz… I have never…not for one second had any regrets according my choice! SLUG delivers the goods, big time! And WE´RE here to stay! *Meet you all in Hell…or at least at our next gig!* Anders Edlund
17th September 2006	Kalle	5150!!!!! We´ve been testing new amp heads and settings to achieve the right "metal sound" for SLUG. In the end there was only one piece of equipment that was right; The Peavey 5150 120 watt head, modified by Daniel Forsberg at Allmusikverkstaden in Skövde. Some time during october - december, we will enter the studio to record a couple of songs again........them You´ll hear the difference - or for that matter come and see us live!! Hold Your Horns high!!!
8th August 2006	Kalle	Thanks to all the SLUGGERS! A big "thanks a lot" to all You hard rocking friends that showed up at the gig in Gothenburg last night, You made us ROCK HARD! Hope to see You all at our upcomming gigs during the fall of 2006. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!
30th June 2006	Fredrik	SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of big things have happened since the last time I wrote anything in this diary both private and proffesionally, hell I´m not gonna tell You ´bout the personal stuff, but as You may have noticed we have released a new CD with 12 awsome songs - 2 of them brand new. Listen to ém in the media section of the website now and then I´ll see You at one of our next shows........
25th May 2006	Kalle	Heavy Metal JÄVLAR!!!! All drum- bass- and guitar tracks for the two new songs has now been recorded. Vocals and backing vocals will be recorded one week from now. The result so far is good - heavy and just the way we like it. I hope that the finnished procuct will sound even heavier (if possible) and I´m positive that You´ll all love it. Bye bye my friends.............
16th May 2006	Webmaster	Updates.... While the band remains in the studio for new redordings I have decided to update the website´s band section with some pictures and brief info on each member. I talked to the band yesterday and they´re now halfway through the recording sessions. An update regarding the studio work will follow at the end of this week.
10th May 2006	Kalle	Fk Yeah!** Yesterday we entered the studio to record two new songs - we are trying a new studio this time. It will be very intresting to hear the finnished product (and I hope You think so too). The material is a little bit heavier this time and the sound will hopefully be a little bit more massive than on the two earlier recordings. Some new gigs has been booked and more will follow. I´ll keep you guys posted...... bye
28th sept 2005	Janne	Thanks! SLUG would like to thank everyone that showed up at our gig at Downland last Saturday. We had a blast and I think the audience did too, Great Gig!! Things are really going great for SLUG right now and one thing leads to another, new bookings are around the corner and we make interesting new contacts almost daily. We are in the process of making new songs and I think I speak for everyone in SLUG when I say : It has never been more fun than it is right now, I feel this is gonna be Great, things are gonna happen and SLUG will lead the way. Again, thanks to everyone who came to the gig , You all Rock !
14th sept 2005	Kalle	DOA CD 2005 and Final mix of new songs........................ Recieved our first DOA 2005 CD:s today - and I must say it was very exciting to hold a worlwide release CD in my hand on which my band was included on. I listened to it today and I have to say it was absolutely smashing. One bad thing though is that we have finnished the mixing of the four newly recorded songs and I do not know which makes me happier - the four new songs or the DOA 2005 CD............... Anyway guess I will have plenty of time to listen both to the DOA CD and our new songs. My favorite on the DOA CD right now is Beer Belly by ENFORCER from Netherlands of our four new songs I like "Mayhem and "Out Of Control" best right now, but I guess if You ask me again in a week or so I will probably like "On My Knees" or "Get It" better........ Check into the media section of the website and listen to the four new songs to see which one You like best.
7th sept 2005	Johan E	Excitement! Hi all! As mentioned before we got four bad ass songs for the next cd. I´m wery exited and hope you´ll enjoy them when they´re ready for download and up on the webshop. Hope I´ll see you at Downland sept 24. Rock on and good night!!!!
