Bongripper

Bongripper is a four-piece instrumental doom metal band from Chicago. Since 2005, they have self-released six recordings. Known for a deafening and intense live performance, the band thrives on an unrelenting sound that can compete with any of the heaviest metal bands of their genre.
Their original full-length entitled “The Great Barrier Reefer” is a one track, 79 minute masterpiece that has found it’s way into any stoner-rock fan’s library. An original pressing of 100 sold out quickly, and has yet to be re-released. Bongripper’s second full-length, “Hippie Killer,” put the band on many people’s short-lists of the best unsigned bands. Tracks such as Reefer Sutherland helped Bongripper get nominated for the stoner-sludge album of the year by Metalstorm.net. In the past few years, Bongripper has been busy, with 3 more releases, including their most recent “Satan Worshipping Doom.”
