Bog Wizard Sign to The Dregs Records
Fresh off the announcement of their impending split with Dust Lord, and even fresher off doing a livestream a couple days ago, Michigan’s Bog Wizard have signed to newcomer Boston-based imprint The Dregs Records. It’s not yet known what they’ll be putting out through the label, but the band’s debut long-player, From the Mire, came out in 2020, and a reissue of that or some pressing of a follow-up doesn’t seem out of the question, considering a long lockdown Michigan winter of writing new material and/or playing D&D, if it needs to be one or the other. And I’m not sure it does when it comes to these guys.
Anyhoozle, even without specific word of what’s coming, the fact that Bog Wizard will mark the first release for The Dregs Records brings an added level of intrigue, as it’s one of two planned offerings for the label in 2021. Whatever it is. Sometimes you see it’s kind of rough to go without info, but if all you take away from this is band-gets-signed and maybe listen to the album or check out the livestream below, I frankly wouldn’t consider that a loss.
The label posted the following on thee social medias:
Bog Wizard – The Dregs Records
“This is no ordinary mire, these wetlands are home to the Bog Wizard!”
Somewhere between a snort and a laugh your companion proclaims “Those are just local tales, to spook the-” You spin around feverishly. The lantern in hand gradually illuminating three shadowy figures where none had once been. The center and tallest of the three cricks it’s neck back to let out a banshee’s wail!! And that was the last that your memory can serve you.
I am super excited to announce that West Michigan’s Bog Wizard will be the first to join us at The Dregs Records. Last Sunday they were able to put down the dice and pick up the pen, binding us together to release some sludge soaked and doom covered riffage.
This was an incredibly easy decision to collaborate together. I have a long lasting love for D&D and tales of fantasy. Tied with their ability to combine sludge, doom, and stoner metal in fresh yet familiar ways.
“We’re excited to announce that we have officially signed with The Dregs Records and are looking forward to growing together with this partnership!” says the band. “Our fondness of both fantasy tabletop roleplaying games and doomy sludgy music made it an easy decision! We’ve got some big stuff planned with them for later this year, and we’ll be announcing it soon. Be sure to follow them to keep an eye out on future news!”
I can not wait till we can release more information to you all about this project. Make sure to follow the page so you don’t miss anything!
Bog Wizard is Ben Lombard (guitar/vox), Harlen Linke (percussion, synth, vox), and Colby Lowman (bass)
