I didn't think these guys could get any heavier but they found a way. JIM is disgustingly brutal, taking you on a journey from dry grasslands to the sludge-ridden cobblestones of dark alleyways. This is advanced filth.
Favorite track: WARM SMELL OF THE DREDGE.
Hand of Doom
Brutal low end damage, cathartic vocals raining down. B0G deliver a prehistoric brand of chaos, unrelenting bludgeoning. Superb production on this EP too.
Favorite track: PEAT FOR SCARS.
"It’s a convincingly bleak, black, and brutal experience, harrowing to the point of blotting out the sun and making you question the future, or whether there will be one." Islander, No Clean Singing
"BØG's second full length record, JIM, unintentionally evokes a wider reflection on sludge metal as a whole. While it’s a great listen by itself, there’s a palpable essence to the record as if it's divorcing itself from the scene it spawned from - like a cell that splits and mutates to give birth to something similar yet new." Thomas Brand
"BØG is sincere, BØG is ugly, BØG is desolate. From the unsettling samples to when stuff like the howls hit you on tracks like ‘Peat For Scars’, it sends shivers up ya innards, it’s a total system shock, something that this band knows is a necessity when trying to express these ideas." Echoes and Dust
"The trio of BØG meld some diverse elements into their music on this outing, everything from sludge, doom, and death metal to ambient, atmospheric and psychedelia. There is an underlying hellishness to the content, a deep darkness that permeates it while channeling a sense of bleak despair." Taste Nation

This is dripping in sludgy doominess of epic proportions. Prepare for buildings and mountains to collapse through the weight of all this DOOM warren barton
Three progressive folk instrumental tracks surround three songs, each 10 min+, which, given their diversity and uniqueness, have to be heard to be understood. Vocals and the fusion of NWOBHM with stoner-doom-isms will remind one of The Sword. The angular arpeggio riffs will call to mind Mastodon. But this is moody, medieval, progressive battle metal meets Candlemass-- the result is something original and unbeatable. MindOverFour
A foreboding black-doom metal dirge, meditating on a dark world caked in ash, resulting from all the Earth’s nuclear arsenal detonating at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 14, 2018
The stygian duo explore themes of gender dysphoria and oppressive institutions through sludgy doom with a pitch-black underbelly. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2021
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
