SLANDER Reveals New Stage Platform “The Eye”
Recently, popular DJ duo, SLANDER, took to social media to reveal their first ever stage platform “The Eye.” The new stage is shaped exactly like their famous logo with space for them to perform at the center of it. The LED lights truly illuminate their famous logo, allowing fans to admire the beauty of this new creation.
As many of you know, the boys have been on their “Headbangers Ball” tour for a few months now. Yesterday, they had their stop at the Los Angeles “Hollywood Palladium.” The DJ duo group took this show as an opportunity to debut their new stage to their fans. These fans were surely in for a surprise as well as a truly memorable experience.
Check out the new stage platform below.
“The Eye” wasn’t just a one-night novelty — it became SLANDER’s signature production piece for the rest of the Headbangers Ball run and beyond. The duo, made up of Derek Andersen and Scott Land, built the stage around the same eye-shaped emblem that’s marked their merch and artwork for years, turning a logo fans already recognized into a full-blown physical set piece complete with a walkway and elevated platform at its center so both members could perform right in the middle of it.
Debuting it at the Hollywood Palladium was a fitting choice, too — LA has long been a home-turf show for SLANDER, and the Headbangers Ball tour itself was already a victory lap of sorts, built around the melodic dubstep and heavier bass sound the duo had spent years refining. Rolling out a brand new stage design on that stop turned an already hyped homecoming show into one fans were still talking about long after.
The bigger picture here is that SLANDER has consistently treated stage production as part of their artistic identity, not just a backdrop. “The Eye” went on to headline its own tour dates in the months that followed, with the duo bringing the rig to additional cities so more fans could experience it in person rather than just through clips online. For a group that built its following on emotionally-charged melodic bass anthems like “Love Is Gone,” investing in a stage that literally puts their brand at the center of the show — quite literally, given the shape — tracks with how deliberate SLANDER has always been about the full experience surrounding their music, not just the tracklist.
