SLOWTHEKNIFE started in the summer of 2003 with one thing in mind, to create a sound that would penetrate the listeners mind, demanding that it be heard repeatedly until nothing else remained. For the past three and a half years, SLOWTHEKNIFE has been playing and writing music with such an effect on the listener that their fan base continues to grow with every live show.
Based in South Louisiana, SLOWTHEKNIFE includes musical veterans John Lee (vocals), Carl Hebert (guitar) , former members of Fractured as well as Chet Clement(Drums) of Disaster 540, and Keith Blalock ( Bass ) formerly of Drone and God’s Little Toy . The combination of influences from each member, ranging from Black Sabbath and The Misfits to Quicksand, has given the music of SLOWTHEKNIFE a certain style that cannot be distinguished. Powered by bone crunching guitar and bass set to head pounding drums, it leaves the listener battered and bruised. The vocals then bring it to its peak; soft, almost soothing at times, then in an instant becomes guttural and enraged.
The live performances by SLOWTHEKNIFE are a must see, with an energy and force that has captivated audiences all along the Gulf Coast, leaving one critic for Baton Rouges Rhythm City Magazine to write, "It is not an easy thing to have a live show blow me away. That is exactly what this group did, and did it well". SLOWTHEKNIFE has had the oppurtunity to share the stage with such acts as Drowning Pool (Wind Up Records), as well as emrging artists like Bleed the Sky and In this Moment (Century Media), The Murdered (Tribunal Records), My Ruin (Rovena Recordings) and Deconstruct (Apocalypse Records).
SLOWTHEKNIFE are currently signed to Set X records (Texas) and released their first EP entitled The Rhetoric’s Guide to Self Infliction in August.
