Slither is the fourth full-length album by the American metalcore band Earth Crisis, released in 2000.[8] It marked a return to Victory Records following the band's 1998 Roadrunner Records album Breed the Killers.[6] Slither ventured into the nu metal sound popularized by '90s metal bands such as Korn and Deftones.[3] The album peaked at No. 50 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[9]
The album was produced by Steve Evetts.[10] The album cover was designed by the artist Dave McKean.
Chronicles of Chaos wrote: "Managing to stir up enough emotion and deafening cries of aggression, the band storms through a sonic assault of heavy vibes and mosh pit worthy material—and the music of Slither is also chock-full of strong harmonies to boot."[5] The Telegram & Gazette wrote that the songs "boast rich textures as the band combines its old hard-core raucousness with a freshly developed 'clean' heavy-rock sound."[11] The New Straits Times thought that "the lyrics are often contrived and meaningless, which diminishes the power of the music somewhat."[12]
