[Album of the day] Froglord - Save The Frogs

Bristol, UK // 2021 // Swamp Records (later)

[Genres] stoner doom, groove metal

[Themes] SaveTheFrogs.com, Teocipactli the Divine Crocodile

[FFO] concept albums, charitable music, eco preservation

[Thoughts] This is an EP from a solo artist who's a decent guy and his whole thing is saving the frogs and preventing us from the consequences of ecological collapse. This EP is what originally caught my attention, particularly the throat singing.*

However, other releases are also good. Amphibian Ascending mythologizes the Froglord, following the deity through a narrative: the Froglord creates the Earth as a habitat for amphibians to flourish, and upon returning 10,000 years later is disgusted what the ape men have done to the biome. The Mystic Toad and Army of Frogs continues the tale; A Frog In The Bog is a split with Bog Wizard, a stoner doom battle won by Our Frogther Who Art In The Swamp. Later releases trend towards nu/groove metal, which is less my speed but still executed well.

Finally, there's a new release dropping in one week (2024.03.09), titled after the Froglord's sacred mantra: LIVE BY THE FUZZ OR DIE BY THE SLIME.

My favorite albums of 2022 (Part 1)

2022 was a year of changes for me. I graduated High School in the spring, and went to college (SUNY Purchase) in the fall, meeting tons new people and discovering myself.

There was a ton of great music to go along with it it too.

Blackbraid - Blackbraid I

U.S.

August 26, 2022

Blistering Atmospheric Black Metal with a theme of Indigenous Peoples who live in the Adirondacks. The riffs are great and catchy, vocals understandable, interlude tracks are beautiful. Great musicianship.

Favorite Track - Barefoot Ghost Dance on the Blood Soaked Soil

Bloodywood - Rakshak

India

February 18, 2022

Indian Folk mixed with Nu-Metal. Tracks switch between angry protest tracks and tracks about mental heath. The folk influences set this band apart from most other Nu-Metal, and are so intertwined the band wouldn’t be the same without it.

Favorite Track - Chakh Le

Chat Pile - God’s Country

U.S.

July 29, 2022

Sludge metal with vocals that feel very deranged. A perfect soundtrack to this late capitalist hellscape, with great riffs, pounding drums, and amazing atmosphere.

Favorite Track - Why

Death Island - Aeons of Carnage

U.S.

October 12, 2022

Melodic Death Metal band from my area, formed at the college I go to. With a unique Blackened Death sound with lyrical themes taking from all over, the dual vocalists are fun to listen to. I’m excited to hear more.

Favorite Track - Wolves Are A Feasting

Froglord - Army of Frogs

U.K.

November 4, 2022

Gimmick sludge metal about a kaiju Frog? The best Froglord album ever with catchy hooks and a fun metaplot? Proceeds going to save the frogs? Count me in. A fun album. (Fun fact: Army is the noun used to describe a group of frogs in science)

Favorite Track - Army of Frogs

Kanonenfieber - Yankee Division

Germany

March 23, 2022

The follow up to 2021’s amazing debut, this EP kicks serious ass with heavier melodic songs. The late Trevor Strnard of The Black Dahlia Murder is featured, and it’s just great musicianship.

Favorite Track - The Yankee Division March

Kanonenfieber - Der Fusilier

Germany

November 19, 2022

The second EP of this year, this is a concept EP about a single German soldier, featuring one of Kanonenfieber’s saddest songs. This has solidified the band as more than just a one off success.

Favorite Track - Der Fusilier II

Lorna Shore - Pain Remains

U.S.

October 14, 2022

The first full-length featuring Will Ramos, he solidifies himself as the growling GOAT with emotional tunes and soaring choruses. The symphonic elements make this deathcore great. The breakdowns are brutal af.

Favorite Track - Sun//Eater

Non Est Deus - Impious

Germany

March 4,2022

From the guy behind Kanonenfieber, his first project’s third album is awesome, with catchy evil riffs and an anti-Christian theme. The cover art is amazing, and the music just as good. More traditional in it’s black metal, it’s still great musicianship.

Favorite Track - Hexenwahn

Sakis Tolis - Among the Fires of Hell

Greece

March 22, 2022

From the frontman of legendary Black Metal band Rotting Christ comes an emotional album about the soul through the lens of Satan. It sounds like 2000s Rotting Christ, but with a different message, and just as good atmosphere. My favorite track has also made me cry.

Favorite Track - The Dawn of a New Age

C!Dex  Lore!

sorry for the big block of text, but there is a surprise at the end!

Dex: they/them but doesn't mind he/him

Lore

Description of dex:

Age:

everlasting, not perceivable by humans, but they look about 18/19

Personality:

ISFP (I and E are very close about 55/45) ISFP means they are gentle, sensitive, nurturing, helpful, flexible, realistic. They seek to create a personal environment that is both practical and beautiful 

They try to be cuddly, calm, loyal, and can be scary if needed. 

They do end up coming off as that but they are also easily scared, vengeful (because of the loyalty), lots of stereotypical animal traits

VERY possessive (not usually for people but more for objects, like a bird. Though if they really care for you they will get kinda possessive). 

Gets distracted easily by shiny things, has intense ADHD (mainly bc idk if i would be able to RP a character without it lmao)

Identity: 

they are Agender but dont mind masculin stuff, 

they are very pan with a preference for men (or is that omni? If so, I will change it).

Asexual on the sex repulsed end of the spectrum. 

Physical description: 

unperceivable by mortals, 

but the form they got when cast down they gained representations of their powers put into their physical form. 

I have what I personally think they look like, but to some people they look different (like PJO people see what they want to) or if you think they look different then that is perfectly valid! 

I'm not the type of person to be forceful about my character's appearance. My personal thinking of how they look (art done by Roz/Froglord)

w/ retractable claws, fangs, and color shifting eyes (? golden to silver and then various floral colors, specifically the colors on the floral shirt, the more godly they get the more the gold and silver appear in their eyes) 

Powers/attributes

flight/wings

Retractable claws (that's what my MC character's powerful sword is. In character they have an enchanted golden sword that they rarely uses)

Their bag is enchanted with *however much can be fit into an inventory* that gets stronger the more powerful they are. (shulkers and enderchests)

And because the bag is enchanted anytime they get extremely hurt (non canon deaths) it teleports right back next to their bed

Whenever extremely hurt (non canon deaths) they become surrounded by the local flora and encased in it then appear back in their bed… this doesn't work in the end (ONLY WHEN DOING LORE)

If killed… they burst into godly light and go into a white void where they learn about themselves… er about their past

General animal trait: better ballance, better jump, etc

Healing abilities, god of health and all, but you have to either consume or bath in this hot spring water that turns out was the first place they bathed (they accidentally enchanted it when they bathed the first time) though weirdly when in a bottle it looks red?

anyways... C!Jack is wlw
