Slomosa is a Norwegian rock band from Bergen, Norway, established in 2016. Their sound is inspired by stoner rock and the desert rock scene. Their style has been self-described as "tundra rock", which is also the title of their second album from 2024.[1]

History

Slomosa released their first, self-titled album on Apollon Records in 2020,[2][3] and their sophomore album titled Tundra Rock in 2024, for which they were awarded the award Best Rock album at Spellemannprisen.[4] They were also awarded the Bendiksen Award in 2025. The same year they also played at the Norwegian metal festival Tons of Rock.[5]

The band has also released a making of-video for their second album.[6]

In 2022 they toured in Europe with the band Stöner,[7] and again in 2024 with Greenleaf and also toured in the U.S. in 2025 with the band Helmet.[8]
