"Caustic, vile, and in your face with it. This is SLOTH HAMMER and let me tell you they’re about as filthy as it comes. I don’t say that just for effect, either. I became bilious, nearing the point of nausea, when I tried auditing the band’s forthcoming full-length in one sitting.
...rumors of their Mentors-like performances – drummers performing in the nude, frontman dressed in prison stripes, the band at large clad in ski masks.
Musically, the song 'Bombed Out Of Existence' unfurls its assault upon the listener like a cluster bomb, releasing a horde of ravenous insects that invade your eardrums, inducing guttural shrieks of panic as they buzz around your brain, accentuated by some fantastic chirps and glitches, damning guitar chords, and those oh-so-maniacal vocals, all laid down over a bed of irradiated fuzz. It makes a fitting companion if you’re curious what the asylum is like once the lights turn low.
If you traffic in the miscreantic noise of Fistula and the madness of early '90s Mr. Bungle, but have been missing the depraved sounds of Meth Drinker from your suicidal cocktail, Sloth Hammer will likely stave off those withdrawals and introduce you to a new drug entirely."

This was my introduction to The Owl. Wow! Brilliant without being forced. The production is flawless. That separation that really makes it come alive. Transporting the listener to these unrelenting environments. I can feel the desolation. Each track stands alone, yet the continuity weaves it together making the parts a whole piece. This isn't for everybody but everybody should get it. This is art. A mesmerizing trip through the darkness and isolation in us all and the world. Masterpiece work. Grandpa Grim
