Slash Releases Orgy of the Damned Album: Stream


Slash has unleashed his new blues album, Orgy of the Damned, featuring contributions from Demi Lovato, Iggy Pop, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Chris Stapleton, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, and more.

Along with releasing the new album today (May 17th), Slash unveiled the music video for his cover of The Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” featuring powerhouse vocals by Lovato. The song is the third single from the LP, following a version of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Killing Floor” (featuring Johnson on vocals and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler on harmonica) and a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s  “Oh Well” (featuring Stapleton).

Another album highlight is a rendition of Lightnin’ Hopkins’ “Awful Dream” with lead vocals by the godfather of punk himself, Iggy Pop. “Iggy came to my studio in L.A., and we just sat down, he was on one stool, and I was on another, and I had my man, Michael Jerome come in and play some drums, and we just grabbed the tape live,” said Slash of the track. “So, it’s really, really very cool, and spontaneous. Iggy’s interpretation of that song is actually sort of sublime.”

Slash will support the album with his traveling “S.E.R.P.E.N.T” blues festival, set to kick off in early July. He’ll be joined on the six-week outing by Warren Haynes Band, Keb’ ‘Mo, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Robert Randolph, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, ZZ Ward, and more. Pick up tickets here.

Fans can also catch Slash performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this coming Monday (May 20th) through Wednesday (May 22nd), when he sits in with the late-night show’s house band Cleto & the Cletones.
