Germany’s fury funk force, SLOPE, is back with good news only: An energetic new music video “Natural Born Quitter“, an interview with German pro skater and olympic sk8boarding coach Jürgen Horrwarth and an exciting support tour with BODY COUNT feat. Ice-T ahead.

The new music video for “Natural Born Quitter” – or short “NBQ” – is a mélange of on-stage recordings and showcases Slope’s raw energy and live presence. 

Fabio from Slope adds: “The official video for NBQ is out now via Century Media. Stick tight to your passions and don’t let anyone tell you what you can achieve in life or not.“

“Natural Born Quitter” is a track from Slope’s latest album, “Freak Dreams,” which dropped in February 2024 to critical acclaim. The album has quickly become a favorite among fans and critics alike. “Freak Dreams” represents a bold step forward for Slope, blending elements of hardcore, punk, and metal to create their unique and powerful funk-rock sound.

Earlier this year, Slope met up with Jürgen Horrwarth, German pro skater and olympic sk8boarding coach at Skatehalle Berlin. They talked about the synergies and development of skateboarding and music, their influence on today’s youth and lifestyle, the comeback of the 90’s. Watch the interview here.

In addition, SLOPE is thrilled to join legendary BODY COUNT feat. Ice-T as support on the “Merciless” tour: “Yo homies we are supporting the almighty Body Count on their MERCILESS TOUR through Europe & UK! Couldn’t be more hyped!“

This tour promises to bring Slope’s intense live performances to a broader audience, offering fans the chance to experience their electrifying stage presence firsthand. The tour starts June 5th. Get your tickets here.

SLOPE, the dynamic quintet steering clear of the nine-to-five life, released their new album, “Freak Dreams,” on February 2nd, 2024!

The album boasts eleven tracks that dive deep into funk, delivering a fusion of weird timings, monstrous grooves, resonating basslines, and colossal riffs. The band shared the single and video, „WHY SAD,“ offering a taste of their diverse influences and experimental elements within the record.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine, and early Red Hot Chili Peppers, SLOPE infuses their music with infectious energy, hooks, and thought-provoking lyrics, addressing personal struggles and societal dissatisfaction.

The band comments on their new long-player as follows: 
“‘Freak Dreams‘ is a mix of all our individual influences and by far our most divers album. On some songs we did a lot of experimental elements that gives the record a different vibe and we couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! The whole process of writing felt like evolving to a new chapter for Slope and we are proud to share it with the world!” 

“Freak Dreams” featuring limited edition vinyl variants and a CD Jewelcase with a poster booklet are available now. Order the new Album here.
