THE MARCH TO 200 STEPS BEGINS!

Image
Yo! What’s good y’all. Bog Stenchmare Phase 1 is complete and is ready to break more bread with the gathering of the tribes. Many sounds with one home marching together towards 200 steps. Everything looked at through its sonic value and merit. Under one tent, together. Those 200 steps look far, but it’s time to journey towards The Great Gate . #smashthegate #bogwakes #bogstenchmare

PHASE 1 COMPLETE! (BOG STENCHMARE)

Image
What up Bogs! The  Waking The Stench  ritual summoned Bog to rise from slumber and march towards the first 100 steps.  Upon passing 100 steps, we thank you all. Bog is now awake and the march to gather the tribes to reach 200 steps has begun! #smashthegate #bogwakes #bogstenchmare

MUCK POOLS! (GENRES)

Image
At the bottom left side of blog, above archives, we have placed "Muck Pools" , which lists genres of music to help searching for music and recent reviews. We haven't listed every sub-genre, because it helps avoid an endless scroll.  Other genres yet to appear on Bog Stenchmare are to be added in due time.  #smashthegate #bogstenchmare #bogwakes

THE REAPING SANDS (BOG LORE)

Image
The Reaping Sands; another ship arrives...  Carrying its cargo, a chorus of cries.  Bog sighed, watching from his crouched position, line after line... They were cast out from fear and doubt. It turned his stomach to a weak disposition, The Great Gate: consumed... with tyrannical inquisition.  They were shunned and shamed, eternally blamed. Every hour, a demonstration of power, kicked to the ships, to be forgotten until their bones were rotten. Bog remembered the feeling of dread, the words which were said. Ignorant and vile, tongues that defiled. ‘Citizen Harper, you must choose a sector’, said the voice. ‘Choose a sector’, it repeated over and over, no shift in tone. Despite the consequence of defiance, Bog had survived. Escaped from the sands, living in the muck tainted lands. He knew the pain from refusing to play the game. #smashthegate #bogwakes

MY OWN WILL (BEATDOWN HARDCORE/DEATH METAL HARDCORE) - MISERY (REVIEW, RELEASED JUNE 4TH, BLEEDING ART COLLECTIVE/BLOOD BLAST DISTRIBUTION)

Image
  1. Misery – The title track for the EP. The vocals and breakdowns introduce the hardcore influence running through the EP. Leans heavily to beatdown, some may say deathcore, but more beatdown in Bog's view, and its sick, because it adds that unfiltered stench to the music, which is why Bog is spewing about the EP today from the Bog Lands. Vocalist holds his notes and tones very well, projection is cool, and he drops in/out with the music, so the track builds solidly. Layering, timing, flows, all run slick. It’s a mid-paced mosh anthem, which is how most of the tracks run. Some nice samples adding a dark sci-fi edge, which was nice to hear, and it gives a little extra to the track. Think dystopian city, running through an alleyway and 'Uncle Trench Coat' is chasing you, not a situation you really want to be in. Misery has that vibe between urban grit and dystopian horror.   2. Rorschach – Starts with a sick intro, which the riffs take us further in after the brief q...

TRUTH & DA BEATMINERZ - (BOOM BAP, UNDERGROUND HIP HOP, REVIEW) Nostalgia ThEraPy 2 (RELEASED NOV 21, 2025, ANIMAL MILITARY RECORDS)

Image
  Yo, what's good again Bogs? Real talk, here is a drop Bog has to share. Truth serves a joint that is straight up fire with unfiltered New York street flavor. Real Hip Hop that hasn't been tarnished and sold as weak sauce with its soul missing. Bog hopes you feel what he felt whilst listening to  Nostalgia ThEraPy 2 .   It' s one of those albums where you just gotta hand someone your head phones and say; " listen to this ", then you watch their face when they hear the non polished realness.  Truth's lyricism talks about bringing back the soul of hip hop and its essence. When the lyrics could be understood, deep thought was invested into the bars and their delivery, words had meaning, and it wasn't disposable and stripped down to a mumble. It's a driving force behind his music and word play, and connects nicely with the gritty streets beats and production. For example, your ears will recognize that your listening to some real cats with mad tight poetry...
