'''Slo Burn''' is an American [stoner metal](/source/stoner_metal) band that was primarily active in 1996 and 1997. The band was formed by [John Garcia](/source/John_Garcia_(singer)) of the influential stoner rock band [Kyuss](/source/Kyuss), which had split up some months previously. Garcia was joined by Chris Hale on guitar, Damon Garrison on bass, and Brady Houghton on drums.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/slo-burn-mn0001625569#wre|title=Slo Burn|website=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)|access-date=October 5, 2013}}</ref>

== History ==
In 1996, the band distributed a five-song demo, and in April 1997 released an [EP](/source/Extended_play) entitled ''[Amusing the Amazing](/source/Amusing_the_Amazing)'' through the record label Malicious Vinyl. According to interviews, Garcia claimed that the band also intended to record a full-length album. Slo Burn played [Ozzfest](/source/Ozzfest) in 1997, before splitting in 1998. Garcia subsequently joined the equally short-lived band [Unida](/source/Unida), before becoming the vocalist with [Hermano](/source/Hermano_(band)), which have since recorded three studio albums.

In 2017, Slo Burn reunited and played shows at several European festivals including Desertfest London and Freak Valley. They made a single appearance in the U.S. at Psycho Las Vegas 2017.

==Musical style==
Slo Burn has a sound very similar to that of latter-day Kyuss, which can be attributed to Garcia's singing style and the production work of [Chris Goss](/source/Chris_Goss_(U.S.)). However, the music is more direct and less layered and complex. [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) describes their style as "simple structures formed out of monolithic rhythm guitars" with "guitar solos that come and go and vibrate weirdly on the way".
