American heavy stoner rock / doom metal music titans Bongripper are set to unleash their latest release, a monumental live album recorded at the iconic Soulcrusher Festival in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 2022. The album captures the raw, immersive power of Bongripper’s unforgettable performance, a night that left festival-visitors in awe of the band’s crushing intensity and atmospheric depth. Known for their colossal soundscapes and uncompromising approach to instrumental heavy music, Bongripper delivered a career-defining set at Soulcrusher 2022. The album features three colossal tracks from their live performance: Track 1: Hail – A devastating opener that sets the tone with its slow-building intensity and crushing riffs. Track 2: Satan – A fan-favourite monolith of distortion and groove, drawing the audience into its ominous depths. Track 3: Endless – A sprawling epic that seamlessly blends hypnotic rhythms and apocalyptic crescendos. Each track showcases Bongripper’s signature ability to craft overwhelming sonic atmospheres, driven by layers of distorted guitars, thunderous basslines and relentless percussion. The Soulcrusher live recording captures the band at their peak, delivering an authentic, visceral listening experience. This live album also includes a special treat for fans: the ambient track “Glaciers” as an exclusive bonus-song; a stark contrast to the bone-crushing live set, “Glaciers” is a meditative exploration of texture and space, offering a contemplative comedown from the intensity of the first three tracks. Recorded and mixed separately from the live performance, the track showcases the band’s experimental side, blending haunting synths and atmospheric soundscapes into a mesmerizing sonic journey; an experience like no other!
