This collection of rare older recordings from Southern sludgecore legends Buzzoven from 2005 has been out of print for a while, but is now once again available, and just in time for the upcoming reunion shows that Buzzoven is doing on the East Coast...

Long awaited collection of early recordings from one of thee gnarliest Southern hardcore bands to ever stride the planet! BUZZOVEN were the natural progression from CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's grisly crossover thrash years, perfecting that deep south brand of sickening sludge punk to an art form. Add in Melvins / "Bleach" era Nirvana -esque thug rock, and singer Kirk's unique and hellish vocals, and this stuff remains some of the most vicious underground heaviness ever. Equal parts hardcore punk, cerebral heaviness, and total amplifier worship of early 90's sludge like Eyehategod and Sleep. Their music and lyrics were drenched in hatred, self loathing, drug addiction, and violence...this stuff is for real. Their live shows have become the stuff of legends, frequently ending with Kirk a bloody mess. Aboslutely essential stuff for fans of brutal sludge. This disc features BUZZOVEN's To A Frown LP, the Unwilling To Explain EP, and the Wound EP. Brand new artwork from Arik Roper, who has also done covers for WEEDEATER, HIGH ON FIRE, and SLEEP. Crucial.
