31 May 2023 // An interview by Will Stairmand

Will has a chat to frontman Slim from the Christchurch GrimHop duo Slimivich . Both members were once in Christchurch metal juggernauts Tainted. Back with a tour, a new sound and fresh musical vision, Slim tells all.

Slimivich is the eclectic new sonic expression of barely suppressed rage, from seasoned ?tautahi Christchurch heavy music journeymen “Slim” Jenkins and Mo Galloway of TAINTED infamy.

An entirely new direction for these veteran of the New Zealand heavy music scene, Slimivich doesn’t explode like previous metal releases, instead it radiates and crackles with all the allure of overloaded high voltage circuits, glowing and arcing in the dark. From the chilling omen of haunted whispers, to the relentless punishment of pounding drums, searing synth and grueling bass, Slimivich seeks to explore the varying textures of what should be considered “heavy” music.

With singles Desert Shimmer and the darker Hysteria grabbing new listeners by the throat; and having ambushed unsuspecting punk, rock metal and hip-hop fans in Otautahi Christchurch and Otepoti through 2022; Slimivich is now poised to assault an unsuspecting New Zealand on The Grind Tour through June and July 2023 in support of their punishing upcoming release Grind.
