Frogcatcher is a brand new five piece Hardcore band from Southwest Michigan. On October 15, 2020 the band released their debut two-song EP. The record, title “Pre-meditated Drowning” introduces their unique mix of Metal flavors. Their sound incorporates various elements of Death Metal, Black Metal, and classic Screamo.
The band shares their name with a 2019 graphic horror novel by author Jeff Lemire, who is known as “the Stephen King of comics.” Whether that is an intentional homage or a fun coincidence, the name works. The vibe is consistent.
The record opens with “Chien avec un fondu,” which translates in English to, “a dog with a fade.” After a dark, gothic intro the track breaks into rocking Screamo head banger. Throughout the track the band mixes it up with dramatic tempo changes. They do some really cool odd-timed riffing in the chorus, for instance. Then they bring it back down for a slow, low and heavy churn for the mosh pit.
The darkly philosophically titled “Man Proposes, God Disposes,” follows. Once again the band gets creative with genres. The track opens with a bit of acoustic mountain music. Slow, crushing power chords join the mix until the 1:00 mark. From there they hit the pit, hard.
We make music. For your ears.
