Slow Motion Apocalypse
1993 studio album by Grotus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slow Motion Apocalypse is the second studio album by Grotus, released on April 20, 1993, by Alternative Tentacles.[1] Boasting eastern music influences and a more mature sound, the album is considered by some to be the highlight of their career, despite Allmusic considering Brown their best album pick. The album also leans towards a more metal sound, unlike the first and last releases.[2]

Release and reception
Trouser Press noted that the album contains "the alluring music of Luddite and a judicious bit of the sampling activity of Brown" and "Middle Eastern flavor that conjures images of an armor-plated belly dancer."[2]
