A collection of 12 dynamic songs that shakes up and revitalizes blues classics with a stripped-down, instinctive approach, SLASH’s Orgy of the Damned creates a singular expression that pays homage to the blues. For Orgy of the Damned, the acclaimed guitarist re-teamed with storied producer Mike Clink and enlisted the album’s diverse guest vocalists, which include Gary Clark Jr, Billy F. Gibbons, Chris Stapleton, Dorothy, Iggy Pop, Paul Rodgers, Demi Lovato, Brian Johnson, Tash Neal, Chris Robinson, and Beth Hart. To round out his band in the studio and on the road, SLASH reunited with two of his bandmates from his Blues Ball outfit in the 90s, bassist Johnny Griparic and keyboardist Teddy Andreadis, and brought on drummer Michael Jerome and singer/guitarist Tash Neal.

By celebrating both well-known and largely undiscovered songs on Orgy of the Damned, SLASH offers a nostalgic nod to the past while reinvigorating the blues with his inimitable guitar playing and the spirit of collaboration.

This gorgeous ES-335 is the latest addition to The Slash Collection. “I used a beautiful and killer-sounding 1963 ES-335 Gibson for more than a few songs on ‘Orgy of the Damned. Gibson has now built a fantastic replica of this extraordinary guitar. Same block neck, Bigsby tremolo, and finish. You have to check it out.” – Slash
