Pit Stories: Scrotum To Scrotum Stapling
We're doing two Pit Stories today because some incompetent moron by the name of xFiruath couldn't get his shit together and post one up when it was supposed to go live yesterday.
This is part two of those stories, and oh guys, oh, oh guys, have we got a tale for you today. It's got everything: bat wing action, stapled scrotums, and a whole different, hairy kind of moshing than you'd ever imagine to see.
Canadian group Slagduster offered up the following baffling description of a show that will never, ever be forgotten by anyone who attended:
So, a few years back we were touring with Expain, and they brought themselves a camera along to record any ridiculous footage they could capture. After a show in Edmonton, they convinced at least two guys to staple gun their scrotums not only to bar stools and tables, but also apexing on each other’s legs and finally scrotum to scrotum stapling action. Side note, possibly inspired by the band intermission blood-soaked gorelesque performers.
Flash forward one year, we return to the same venue with Expain again. Our between song banter often gets out of hand, and obviously it was hard not to bring up the previous year’s events… long story short, during the next song, a group of guys had been unintentionally persuaded to pull out their man bags in a circle scrotum pulling mosh pit. We’re talking a half dozen burly grown males minimum, stretching their bat wings through their jean holes at each other. All the while headbanging like their lives depended on it. Cheers, Edmonton.
Slagduster's new album "Deadweight" is coming out on May 5th, 2017 - check out two tracks from the album below, and follow the latest on the 'duster at Facebook here. More...

Slagduster Posts "Peeping Ron"
Isolation has most certainly bred inspiration in the shape of Slagduster. Hailing from Grand Forks, B.C, the band is named after a local slang term for a piece of machinery that was used in the mines over a hundred years ago.
“We are the only four musicians in our small town driven to form a progressive metal band,” says vocalist Shane Sherman. Inspired by such giants as Goijira, Sikth, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Between The Buried And Me, the Slagduster crew offers a progressive, groovy, creative, unique and heavy sound.
It's been a few years since debut album "Nature.Humanity.Machine" and Slagduster is now ready to unleash follow-up album "Deadweight" out on May 5th, 2017. Sherman further comments:
“Naturally our sound has come a long way since our debut release in 2010. The music is more complex, and much more developed, still heavy, but even more groove based. Listeners can expect to be challenged by focusing on the compositions, or lost in the musical landscape.” More...
