According to Chicago's Bongripper, that kingdom is none other than infernus, gehenna, sheol, hades… you know… downstairs. Bongripper are a particularly "green" doom band who worship at the altar of satanism, exploring gnarly instrumental riff after gnarly instrumental riff on records like Hippie Killer and The Great Barrier Reefer. If you aren't familiar, pack a bowl and check out their bandcamp. You're welcome.Starting today, Bongripper will take preorders for Miserable, the band's new 2LP effort due this summer. Look for that to emerge in July/August, but until then stream one of the three tracks, "Endless," for the first time below. Order your copy.In case you missed it, don't forget to check out our special on the mastermind behind Roadburn, Walter aka Mr. Roadburn.Conan plays some ripping doom too.
