BOG STENCHMARE

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

  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...
