Buzzov•en (Official Thread)

Buzzov•en​

Buzzov•en was a drug-fueled, misanthropic sludge metal/punk band from North Carolina that formed in 1989. They were known for being one of the founders of the sludge genre (along with The Melvins and Eyehategod) and for their out-of-control and violent shows. Amazing band probably my favorite sludge metal band. Their albums are hard to find your best bet is torrenting them, ebay, and itunes (which only has one full album, "Sore", and two compilations.)
There have been rumors surfacing that they may regroup.

Lyrical Themes

Yea it is. I find Sore to be their most angry lyric and music wise.

Amazing band.

Yea I now know 2 people who listen to them as well. You and myself.

Most people around me do not even know what the **** sludge metal is let alone Buzzov-en or any other amazing Sludge bands.

I could get started on every other metal genre as well,but I will not.

Re: Buzzov•en

Sludge and stoner is some of the best shit ever, two of my favs. Lots of awesome bands come from both but, yeah, there are far too many people who don't really know what it is or just don't appreciate the epicness.

I must agree with your whole comment.

Also I have to say the more and more I listen to this band the more I can say they are probably the most angry, most hate filled band I have ever heard.
