Dozer Post More 20th Anniversary Video

dozer live in 2013

This is the fifth clip posted in Swedish heavy rockers Dozer‘s 20th anniversary series (the others are here and here), and it only underscores how viciously badass they’ve been and for how long. The track “Octanoid” comes from their 2001 second album, Madre de Dios, and is a prime example. Then the four-piece of guitarist/vocalist Fredrik Nordin, guitarist Tommi Holappa, bassist Johan Rockner and drummer Erik Bäckwall, Dozer tore into the foundations of post-Kyuss desert rock at a constant fifth gear, their forward momentum steamrolling the sand with enough heat and pressure to turn it into glass. As the follow-up to their 2000 debut, In the Tail of a Comet, the Man’s Ruin Records release would solidify the energy that has come to define Dozer‘s output, regardless of where their sound has progressed through the years.

In that way, it’s fitting that they should mark their 20th anniversary with a bunch of live videos, since the vitality they bring to the stage bleeds through these clips so clearly and is such a huge part of what they do. It would continue to be as Dozer made their way through 2002’s Call it Conspiracy, 2005’s Through the Eyes of Heathens and 2008’s Beyond Colossal, and no doubt it would still be if they got around to making a new record. I wouldn’t expect that this year, with Holappa and Rockner offering up a new Greenleaf album later this month and touring heavily to support it, but Dozer keep playing fests and periodic other gigs, so who knows? Maybe 2017? 2018? Could happen anytime, really.

Enjoy “Octanoid.” Not sure how long Dozer are going with the series, but if they want to keep it up for the year, that’s cool with me:

Dozer, “Octanoid” live in Finland, 2002

20 years is a long time but it sometimes feels as yesterday when we started the band back in 1995. In the following weeks we´ll be putting up some live footage from these past 20 years, recorded with a simple camcorder, so bear with us that the audio and video is not top notch. We enjoyed watching these old vids anyway and hope you do too.
