CATHEDRAL IN FLAMES - "PUSH THE FIRE" (GOTH ROCK, REVIEW, SINGLE, RELEASED MARCH 15, 2026)

Image
Another from some time ago Bog meant to share from the swamp, but due to commitments in another world for a considerable period, we are only now sharing. Push The Fire is sonically memorable and is an excellent composed piece of music that has a catchy hook and vocals. The male vocals from Phil Lee Fall run in a mix of dark narration (yes he is singing, but it is how Bog hears it) combined with traditional dark broody tones straight from the goth rock world. It paints the picture of a nocturnal creature sat in the corner of a night club singing his tale about whatever has befallen him. Deep, moody, and clearly a person that doesn’t enjoy listening to golf commentary, but Bog digresses. Push The Fire opens with a beautiful intro, which would open a set nicely. Think dark smoke, fog, a dimly lit club, and the track beings, or a singer stood in a castle courtyard at 2am whilst the walls are enveloped in the same already mentioned mysterious smoke. Very classic horror vibe, but also easil...

NO TIME - COMPLY OR DIE (PUNK/OI, TKO RECORDS, REVIEW, RELEASED OCTOBER 24, 2025)

Image
Along with Crown Court, No Time are one of the sickest Oi Punk/Punk bands around at the moment. Their sound is so infectious. Bog jumps up and down whilst spitting flies everywhere in the swamp. Short, punchy, straight to the point riffs and bass, and the vocalist sounds like Bog waking up in the morning. Punk energy is everywhere and Bog can see the humans jumping around whilst echoing the choruses. Rating: For a raw energy driven EP, the audio is pretty good and clean. Those who prefer heavier tastes may not enjoy it, but if you enjoy fun driven sounds with a feel good party vibe, then this is for you!

SKULLCHURN - OF DEATH AND REBIRTH (2026 DEMO, OSDM/DEATH METAL, REVIEW)

Image
1. Of Death And Rebirth The opening has a legacy/indie horror sounding sample that had Bog eager to hear what was coming. It’s a nice use of audio to gradually bring in the bell ish chime maybe with a slightly synthy ish sound effect before the intro riff arrives to announce the arrival of SKULLCHURN . The best way Bog can describe it, would be like thundering around the swamps and making the ground shake, but what Bog was actually doing was trying to stamp down hard, so that the infected liquid in their swollen toes would burst from the skin spraying waterfalls into the air. The traditional method of popping hadn’t worked, so stompy feet time is sometimes necessary.   Of Death And Rebirth sprays f*cking filth into the listener’s mouth. Eat it!!!! It’s an onslaught, Bog was jumping up and down, and roaring. The riffs are furious, chaotic, but organized to present speed, total speed. Drumming is frantic to reinforce that intense shot to the face. Vocally, a mix of classic death...

WAKING THE STENCH

Image
The warriors stood in the temple, lined up on either side, arms raised high, their pits exposed towards the ceiling. In keeping with tradition, it was 2 months since any of them had seen bathing water. The smell was fetid, but necessary to summon it. One of the warriors was sat on the floor, facing two plinths, legs crossed, arms raised, a double whammy of natural odor oozed down his body, the vapor released from his skin to fill the air. He spoke in a language, too guttural for human ears, but roughly translated; 'W ake up you lazy f, we summon thee ' Did they smell it? did they hear? did they wake?  Soon...

TENZOE AND SPONATOLA - AMRITA (RELEASED FEB 22, 2026, LO-FI/CONSCIOUS HIP HOP, REVIEW)

Before Bog sinks back into metal, or whatever the swamp spits out from the boiling bubble, here is the latest joint from Tenzoe .  Amrita , has stronger jazz feels than previous releases, but they are intertwined with the lo-fi old school dynamic. Imagine a super chill cat MC sat in a chair dropping bars on human life, politics, societal behavior, spirituality, psychedelics, and more. It's a chill flow, delivered calmy again with classic hip hop story telling, and full of content.  Production is tight, audio clean, beats are organized, samples are clean, so it's a balanced listen. Those who prefer more of an aggressive flow, harder beats, and big drops, then they may not feel it, but it's a different, and interesting take.  Amrita by Tenzoe & Sponatola Follow Tenzoe: https://tenzoe22.bandcamp.com/album/amrita-2
