Earthbong to Play Iceland’s ReykjaDoom Fest Before Touring Australia in April
This week, on Jan. 31, Kiel, Germany’s Earthbong will take part in Sloth-Fest in Erfurt, and I’ve seen them confirmed for Blue Moon Festival in July as well, so no, the April dates below and the prior stop the bong metal three-piece will make in Iceland for ReykjaDoom 2025 aren’t the sum-total of their current and upcoming live plans. And yes, I’m well aware these shows were posted in November. I know.
As to why they’re here again, well, on the most basic level, it’s killer that a band like Earthbong, who are on the more extreme end of a heavy aesthetic and about as dug in as you get to longform, weighted, generally pretty slow riffs, are undertaking something like scooting to the other side of the planet just days after swinging through Iceland and doing a round of shows. If you get to see them in whatever part of the world, that’s awesome. But it’s also probably a landmark for the band members themselves, like, as human beings. I know I’d mark something like this down as a ‘life event,’ anyhow, and I don’t think that’s any less valid because I do the same for grocery shopping.
Album this year? Didn’t I hear something about that? I can never remember, so put it down as a maybe. Don’t worry though. If one happens, you’ll hear it coming long before it actually gets here.
