In Slug It Out, Leo Luchini engineers a genre-agnostic schism in 11 songs – a sonic exorcism where the guitar mutates under the pressure of the 808, and electronic music bleeds into band music, until neither can be separated from the other. It is double-exposure as dramaturgy – the spectral afterimage of art-rock’s romantic impulse colliding with industrial psychedelia. The result: an arena where guitars scream, samples swirl, and vocals don’t sing—they seethe.

This is confrontational theatre, not as spectacle, but as survival. Luchini, self-mythologizing auteur and emotional archivist, casts himself and a rotating crew of international collaborators (including Lord Spikeheart, NYCL Kai and Leo Luther) in a Ballardian opera of rage. The stakes are not symbolic—they are somatic.
