🎙️ In this episode of The Sonic Road Podcast, we sit down with Ben Burdous lead vocalist, guitarist, and founding member of the rising Norwegian rock band Slomosa—pioneers of the Tundra Rock sound. Known for their heavy grooves, fuzz-drenched riffs, and hypnotic rhythms, Slomosa is helping lead the global revival of stoner rock and desert rock.

Ben discusses the band’s debut album “Tundra Rock” on Stickman Records, their high-energy performances at European rock festivals, and touring the U.S. with Helmet. He reflects on the band's formation, lineup changes, and the creative evolution of their sound. Plus—Slomosa is currently in the studio recording a brand-new album, bringing fans even more riff-driven, atmospheric rock.

We also dive into unforgettable moments like meeting Tool, the beauty of imperfection in music, genre influences, and the role of AI in rock music. This is a must-watch for fans of QOTSA, Kyuss, Truckfighters, and the next wave of heavy rock.
