AMPHIBIOUS SWAMP DOOM
Since the dawn of time mystics have prophesised the coming of an ancient amphibian, bestowed with deathray vision and ectoplasmic slime. Emerging from deep within the mystic swamps of Bristol (UK), Froglord arise bringing their powerful blend of sludgy grooves and psychedelic doom. With face melting fuzz and foot stomping riffs, Froglord’s reign of amphibious terror has begun.
Returning with brand new masks, costumes, and a 6th studio album, Froglord deliver another massive offering of amphibious swamp doom. Recorded live in the studio in a single take, Lower & Slower briefly pauses the band's concept storytelling of the Tale of The Froglord saga, instead revisiting six previously released tracks from across their discography.
​
"...they're also brilliant, with a skill in thick doom riffs and stoned-psych bits"
"With songs like ‘Live By The Fuzz’ and ‘Die By The Slime’ praising their amphibious overlord, their fuzzy, enthralling set was captivating and demonstrated the wise decision to award them as winners of Metal 2 The Masses in Bristol"
“Back with more smoky riffs, catchiness, and weird songs about amphibians…what more could you want?”
​
“Combining impossibly groovy stoner metal with a fantastical amphibian concept grounded in eco-conservatism”
​
“The music on the Froglord records echoes their lyrical subject matter brilliantly. Thanks in part to the sweaty grooves of New Orleans bands like Eyehategod and Crowbar…It’s an immersive listening experience, and Froglord is only just beginning to explore how far it can go.”

OUT MARCH
4th
Presenting alternate versions of each track, the band downtunes even lower, playing each at funeral marching speeds. The result; the heaviest fuzz-drenched doom, the band has ever produced. Like a black hole at the centre of the swamp, this album is a nod to bands like Conan, Monolord, and Weedeater. As well as covering several of their biggest swamp anthems, including They Came From Saturn and Green Inferno, the record concludes with a collosal cover of Sabbath's Iron Man.
​
At it's core, Froglord have always been an enviromentally-driven band. Through their fundraising and tale of an amphibious deity, reeking vengenace on humanity for the environmental destruction they caused. Froglord continue that legacy, using this album to campaign and raise money for Waterfowl & Wetland Trust (WWT) - the wetland charity.

​Wetlands are one of the most important and biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, which is why WWT are on a mission to create and restore 100,000 hectares of wetlands across the UK, by 2050.
​
To support this cause, Froglord are donating 100% of all digital proceeds from Lower & Slower, and 50% of all physical media and merch profits to WWT.​
