Bog Body are a duo from New York that plays a mixture of black, sludge and death metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Cryonic Crevasse Cult" which will be released in May by Profound Lore Records.
Field recordings start off the album before going into more of a heavier and lo-fi musical direction. Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with the bass guitar being a lead instrument and there are no use of any 6 string guitars on the album.
Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. A lot of the music also shows a good mixture of both old school and modern influences along with some of the faster riffing also adding in a small amount of tremolo picking as well as one track also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts, psychedelic soundscapes can also be heard briefly.
Bog Body plays a musical style that takes black, sludge, doom and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover mythology, religion, sacrifice and death themes.
In my opinion Bog Body are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Paralytic Pit Of Swallowed Graves" "Ice Stained Kurgan" and "The Graveyard Of Dead Cratons". 8 out of 10.
