DOPETHRONE is a three-piece band from Montreal, Quebec, known for their abrasive mix of sludge and doom metal with lyrics dealing with self-destruction, cannabis, sleazy drug abuse and the macabre (so lovely!). Influenced by rock n roll, punk, black metal, and blues, the band refers to their music as "Slutch", the Canadian term for cold sludge, a.k.a. dirty mud snow. They once described it as "frozen sludge, snow covered in addiction, blood, tears, and broken dreams".
