Low Entropy
Low Entropy about his Slowcore releases:
So, as Slowcore productions are still kind of rare and not easy to find, I thought of compiling a list of my Slowcore releases so far.
This Is The Sound Of Slowcore
The very beginning! A compilation of still very experimental attempts at Slowcore by me. Includes two 1 BPM tracks (yes, one BPM) which were among the slowest Hardcore tracks ever at that point.
Slowcore And More
As the title implies, not a full Slowcore album, but intermersed with tracks in other styles (mostly Doomcore).
My first Slowcore-themed release on a label. My Slowcore sound had taken a very dark turn by then.
The Slowcore Anthem / The Man In The Low Castle
Not meant to taken entirely serious, this is an attempt at a kind of anthem for the new Slowcore genre.
Features me in a mocking voice at either 50 or 100 BPM. As a bonus, there are two Industrial Doomcore tracks.
The Ultimate Slowcore Collection
This compilation includes most of the Slowcore tracks I had done at the point of release, from a multitude of labels, years, as well as self-released and totally obscure sounds. Maybe a good introduction into my Slowcore music?
Slowcore Dance
Now we are talking! My Slowcore productions took up a lot of speed by then; not in the sense of BPMs, of course, but I now was very seriously dedicated to push the Slowcore sound ahead.
More a compilation than an album (on the new Slowcore Records label!), this combines new, old, rare and unreleased Slowcore tracks by me.
Slow On Memory - 1990s Era Tracker Slowcore
Well, who would have thought? I already had been producing Slowcore tracks in the 90s era, when people knew me more for my frantic Speedcore and Breakcore stuff.
Of course, I didn't call it "Slowcore" back then - but I was already hugely into doing tracks at speeds very low tempo, 60 BPM or slower.
This is a look back at this period.
Slowcore Rules The World
My very first Slowcore EP with all-new Slowcore tracks, ranging from 120 to 15 BPM and dealing with the devil, death, lockdowns, and inferno.
Open Your Mind To Slowcore
Another "mixed bag" with old and new tracks, backbone of the album, is the eponymous track, which I intended as a sort of introductory track to the Slowcore sound (and urges people to be more open minded towards it!)
The Slowcore Sessions
Was very happy to do this release on the label of Astrid Gnosis. She did a great job at the art and promo, and the release even got a little music video for one of the tracks.
Stylistically, this is exploring something different again: very cinematic, (dark) ambient-esque, soundscape tracks. Pinned down by ultra-distorted, heavy (and heady!) beats.

A Light In A Dark Place
This is the opposite to the former very somber releases. Instead of producing something dark, I tried to give a message of hope in a world that had become very dark by itself.
Completed with Slowcore tracks from past and present by me, again.
The Final Hour
Despite the title, this album continues the the positive message of the former release, and tries to encourage people to go on even in "the final hour".
Ecstasy Of Slowcore
A collection of more dark and brutal tracks. Includes "Slowcore Lacrima", which is another attempt at an anthemic Slowcore track. Also features some big Rave / Techno arena kinda tracks.
Light Of Long Dead Stars
My first Slowcore collaboration release, with the one and only Der Cherep!
This is a Cosmic Horror themed release with many allusions to the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
Also a very distorted, Industrial sound this time.
Slowcore Stompers
My return to the Brazil-based label Antropofagia Records. This is a very extreme release, with plenty of noise, overdriven beats and generally abrasive sounds. As well as sudden tempo changes, as some tracks venture into Speedcore.
A more chaotic, experimental approach to the Slowcore genre.

Doors To The Pleasures
A conceptual Slowcore album with all new tracks!
I am very happy with this one and, personally, I consider this to be one of the best productions I did in any genre. Because I am satisfied with the ingredients and balance here: the right amount of darkness but also some light themes, very, very distorted drums but also parts that are more like Techno, and some heady musings that still don't take the ability to dance to the sound away - in my opinion, at least!
Slowcore Insurgency
As the name says, this is more radical, aggressive music again, something to really push your adrenaline and get you moving.
But there are also more calm Techno and even Trance-y sounds included!
That's it for now, if I got you curious, maybe you want to check out some of these sounds, and I hope to do many more Slowcore tunes in the future!
