All those who hail to my crown
I know your name
From kingdoms bathing in fire
I impose my reign
Your whispered words on the wind
Don't go unheard
Just call upon me by my name
The good duke Astaroth
Oh yeah!

this their most solid release to date, there other records are all insanely brilliant, you should buy them if you enjoy this for sure. keep kicking ass and putting some of the best sludge this decade. Ryan Graham
Une des signatures de Bongripper, c'est que le groupe ne fait appel à aucune parole sur leur stoner/doom. La seule exception se trouve sur Hippie Killer :
《 Die you hippy scum, die hippy scum
Peace won't save you from this gun 》("Terrible Bear Attack").
Ça paraît simple de prime abord, mais tout est dit. Bongripper ne vise pas l'onirisme acidulé et halluciné mais le cauchemar total et poisseux. Si The Great Barrier Reefer plaçait la barre très haut, Hippie Killer est un magnum opus du genre. Jordan Vauvert
