BUGNOG, Ectospire, MyWitchMyBlood, Respair

“Casting out anything cryptic, vague, or vibey, doom crushers Bugnog are back again to take a heavy metal sledgehammer to your comfort and contentment with American life.  Arguably not since GWAR has a band so effortlessly and listenably paired such memorable and even grooving dark riffage with such abject nihilism and irreverent chaos.  If the daily news has you seeking something pitch-black and despondent, but still bursting with destructive hammer-on doom riffs and tempo trickery, then this is the metal you need.” - Bret Fieldcamp (KGOU/OKC Free Press)
