Mudslinger was formed in the beginning of 2000 by known Bay Area death metal guitarist Dave Couch and long time bass player friend Lars Von Lowen. After a few months of trading ideas (and arguing over who could write the heavier riff), they got a practice space at Rehearse America in East Oakland, CA where they met with drummer Ronn Pifer who was practicing in a nearby room. The three clicked right away and began to churn out songs influenced by doom and old school death metal bands such as Trouble, old Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath and Bolt Thrower. When it was time to add a vocalist, they called up Juan Urteaga who worked with Dave previously in the progressive death metal band, Thanatopsis. With Juan added to the group they immediately went into Trident Studios (which Juan also owns and engineers) and recorded 6 songs, 5 of which became the first demo “Cover the Sun”. Cover the Sun was released in March of 2001 on their own label, Lord Slog Records and Mudslinger started to gig, playing their first show at the Pound in SF in support of Nevermore, Opeth, Angel Dust and God Forbid.
