Slung’s debut single Laughter is a powerful, trauma-driven track from their upcoming album In Ways (out May 2, 2025). With scorching riffs, dynamic percussion, and Katie Oldham’s emotionally charged vocals, the song delves into the complexities of familial relationships, focusing on the pain of seeking love from an emotionally absent parent. Blending heavy metal and hypnotic melodies, Laughter creates a visceral listening experience that will appeal to fans of Mastodon and Deftones.
Slung’s collaborative spirit and raw honesty are evident, setting the stage for an album that explores deep personal themes, including generational trauma and empowerment.
