Slow Motion Apocalypse

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]
