Slow Motion Apocalypse is the second studio album by Grotus, released on April 20, 1993 by Alternative Tentacles.[1] Boasting eastern music influences and a more mature sound, the album is usually considered to be the highlight of their career.[2]

Release and reception

Trouser Press noted that the album contains "the alluring music of Luddite and a judicious bit of the sampling activity of Brown" and "Middle Eastern flavor that conjures images of an armor-plated belly dancer."[2]
