BOG STENCHMARE

In the land of the swamps, there is a barge, a vessel, operated by Arm Pit Jim, if you find yourself unfortunate enough to be a passenger, it carries you, and other poor souls along a winding brown liquid river, accompanied by floating bottles of p*ss. In some parts of Bog society, its revered as one of the greatest living art pieces in our world.  Dead Void's Cranial Devastation is as equally gutter drenched and captures this experience perfectly by throwing bestial riffing and vocals to the forefront with heinous drums. The crushing riffs on Cranial Devastation are like a slow churn, but prepare the listener for the mid paced sections and the onslaught to come, then return to the brooding heavy doom. Vocally, very clear, but not clean singing, so the monstrous voice serves to transport us into pure audio metal terror. The track structure is good and consistent moving from the already described imposing slow sound engulfing the air itself; to timely reintroduce the classic beast...

Nasty ass blackened death. Mostly unclean and harsh vocals with brief clean interludes to add atmosphere to main leading vox. Incredibly atmospheric, and is like someone running around Bog’s murky swamp land in the mist sounding pissed off and confused. Notable moment, at 2.30 minutes ish in Summoning Aversion , the tone shifts to a haunting horror esque sound, which is quite wonderfully moody, before we return to the filthy anger, which is like someone trying to escape one of the bog swamps and is being sucked back down. Vocally, good wide range with patient sinister pummelling riffs, supported by the drums. Interesting direction compared to earlier material, but the single has a catchy vibe. Those who like speed and want non stop pace, may not quite feel it, but Bog enjoyed the journey and how you are taken from one moment to another. It coincides with releasing pent up feelings and emotions. Bog has avoided going deep in those areas, so we don’t ruin it for you, because Summoning Av...

  Here’s a joint for y’all if you ever wanted to stop, stand up, sit down, then stand up again and say “shit man, this bangs and sounds like a gunship unleashed”, well Lecherous Nocturne are that band, and are back with new music. 13 second introduction, which is a short build into the coming ferocious riffs and drumming blasting like an autocannon strapped onto the side a Bog chopper. Spraying forth carnage and spitting out destruction everywhere. This is a marching anthem for the Bog legions, damn, strap in for this Bogs! It’s windmill time, really is one of those where you just swing the head around and bang hard af. Bog would happily pass out to Fission from over exertion. Wise strategy dropping this single, grabs the attention with a relentless pounding, if no one knows of the band, it would be one to draw in new listeners and welcome back existing fans. There is no in between, its embrace the monstrosity or f off to listen to golf’s greatest commentary hits. Angry ass...

Fear The Shogun Part 2 follows up with another homage to Feudal Japan, Samurai movies, and respects the associated culture. Bog does prefer Fear The Shogun Part 1 , but it's still fire with deep bangers not to be slept on. Big boom beats, clean clear production, keeps it hardcore too, so the energy remains on point to go with the flow. Bog is dropping the notable joints to look out for below, but there is a special flame on this one y'all. If Bog had to serve one up, then ' Sekigahara' is the one to not skip.  Only track Bog didn't feel was the closer,  'Get Down',  which isn't Bog's style, a much softer end to the album. Possibly work better as a shorter intro or outro, but it's not 100 wack, just doesn't bang as hard. * Reign of Fire **Sekigahara - Fire of the fire. Listen up, real talk, this is what I wanna hear walking around the block. Grimy, gutter, and the flow delivers the track like a boxer's precise strike to the jaw. No biter...

  Bog’s back again, this time with little sleep, but Bog forgot about this release, so I’ll share what I hear. As always, I try to avoid making comparisons to other artists, or whatever someone tells me, because I want it to be a pure experience for all concerned, so I can then relate back to you, and do the artist justice whether Bog likes the music or not. 1. Why Are You So Lame:  There is quite a nice little drum beat at the start with a guitar riff thrown in, then the drums settle into a gradual rhythm as the track progresses. Slow consistent pace, similar in speed to Trip Hop and lo-fi beats, and the production is clean and sharp, and doesn’t overshadow the vocals. Not really Bog’s vibe so far, but I do appreciate how the track has been layered and arranged, so the lyrics can be heard with distinguishable instruments in the introduction, middle, and outro. First impressions so far, 'balanced', and there is a subtle chime in the background, which adds an effect to comple...

Greetings from Bog! Just a heads up for the Boggers out there. I'm wading through some sewage at the moment to reach corporate Bog HQ where I'm due for an interesting briefing from CEO Cornball.  Ok, sitting my butt here, need a rest, maybe Bog should take up golf, increase the walking for the tire legs. Maybe not, golf is pushing it, the eternal enemy. Back to spew, updates are active, but the schedule is sporadic for now. I may break bread with some other shit at some point where you can follow Bog in the World Championship Chess League. Last time I played it, the human sat opposite me passed out when I raised my arm to move a piece.  Talk to you soon, CEO Cornball is inpatient, back to the swamps and wading through the dirt. 

It's been some time since Bog posted underground hip hop, but Iron Wind does a nice job of integrating themed Japanese influences paying homage to Feudal Japan. Both musically and lyrically, this is a nice take providing an alternative with a substance rooted in an ancient culture. The sampling is excellent, it's as if the Samurai are marching along to the beats or a master is demonstrating a sword dance. Iron Wind MC's in a story telling pattern of for that era he is drawing from, which is ideal, and authenticates the homage to the culture he clearly loves. Here are some of the stand outs, but there isn't really a bad track, think of it is a real hip hop story concerning Feudal Japan. The stand out fire tracks: * Fear The Shogun * Shadows of War : The sample and big beat on this track. I implore you to listen. Referencing Samurai and so much more. Imagine boom bap fused with the soul of Japan. Special, very special. * Hidden Fortress - Named after the movie, a classic...

Sometimes, Bog wakes up on a morning, and feels mad, and wants to go vomit somewhere, and upset residents of the pompous ass golf society. I’d been trying to pop a zit on the back of my balls, which was difficult to reach, so was struggling with motivation to accomplish the task. Well, Cranial Osteotomy sound like they also woke up mad and decided to go record the soundtrack to feeling ‘pissed off’. The music slays, Vortex Of The Dark Knowledge is a good brutal mosh album, although it can become a little repetitive, but this has been orchestrated to do one thing, one thing alone, to encourage people to gather, and be a group of sweaty bastards head banging to some nasty shit. For those not into all things heavy, you may want to look elsewhere in Jazz Beard Land, but as Bog stated at the beginning about mornings. If you wake up pissed off like Bog when the sun shines, then go pre-order Vortex Of The Dark Knowledge , which is the ideal thing to help you get through those problematic ch...

The Bog returns soon. Active schedule and cont ent are planned after a substantial time out. Bog be back in the Bog.
