Grimscribe1312 I hadn't planned on buying another record anytime soon but then I listen to the first 1 1/2 songs of Ego Death and immediately ordered the vinyl. Now I have to explain this to my wife Favorite track: Ego Death.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Wanted this one for ages but never got around to pushing the buy button.
Raucous raw grooves that are unsettling yet at the same time satisfying. Favorite track: Drifter in the Abyss.

Jeff Walker I have listened to many different bands in the stoner doom metal genre. I feel very strongly that Faces of the Bog have brought their own unique hypnotic touch to the table with the album Ego Death. Great musicianship and song structure prove they are a force to be reckoned with... I have played this album over and over, enjoying it more each time... I would recommend this album for anyone that is a fan of heavy metal in general...
Yours truly,
Jeff Walker... Favorite track: Drifter in the Abyss.

David McLane only half way through listening to this debut and its already album of the year. sludgy, raw, riffalicious, almost tribal in its groove.
chicago, there must be a portal that leads to a swampy universe of groovy ass malformed aliens. Favorite track: The Serpent & The Dagger.

    Faces of the Bog's debut release. Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Produced by Sanford Parker. This is a 4-panel digi-pak w/ lyrics, artwork, and photos included and only available on the physical release.

    "For their debut album Ego Death, Chicago's Faces of the Bog really don't play it safe. This sludgy offering is littered with mystical and shamanistic psychedelic vibes. However, it also seems like they dig a fair amount of grunge, and really draw inspiration from all across the doom scene. Ego Death is a very expansive album and while drawing from enough streams to fill an ocean, never comes off as pretentious or forced. This is an incredibly strong start for the young band, and one can only wonder what avenues they will cross in the future."

    --ENCYCLOPAEDIA METALLUM (www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Faces_of_the_Bog/Ego_Death/607451/)

    "This Chicago quartet are pushing the envelope in a way that I really like. Moving in genres that are close to my heart but are sadly severely overpopulated these days, you have to do something different and special to recharge the stagnated tones and stand out. And these four Illinois gentlemen are onto something very good. Taking equal measures of psychedelic doom, sludge and progressive metal and putting it in a powder keg, lighting the fuse and what happens, happens. The music is beautiful, ugly, brutal, soothing, transcendent, in-yer-face and....fucking amazing!"
