Bog Oak Posts New Song Online
The black-doom upstarts from Bog Oak today premiere the new track "A Sea Without Shore" online. Check it out below, thanks to CVLT Nation.
The track hails from the band's debut EP, "A Treatise On Resurrection and the Afterlife," set for international release on November 28th via Svart Records on MCD, MLP, and digital formats. The following press release was also issued about the band:
"Bog Oak is a fuzz-drenched blackened doom outfit from California formed in May of 2013. Debut EP, 'A Treatise On Resurrection and the Afterlife' consists of four allegories that pay as much homage to Black Sabbath and Hellhammer as they do to the metaphysics of Mulla Sadra, Suhrawardi’s philosophy of illumination, and the alchemy of Al-Ghazali.
"With their commitment to huge, gnarly guitar and bass tones, thundering drums, and vocals that range from demonic screams to angelic cleans, Bog Oak create a heavy brew of mystical dirges and forsaken atmospheres."
The track listing is as follows:
1. The Science of the Afterlife
2. The Resurrection of Animals
3. Time Drift of Seasons

Bog Oak Signs To Svart Records
Svart Records has announced the signing of California's Bog Oak. The band's debut Svart release will be a limited 10"/mini-CD in the autumn, with a full-length album later in the winter of 2015. Svart Records comments:
"Bog Oak formed in October 2013 around the core of Phillip Gallagher and Matthew Woods Wilhoit, who both lived in the Sacramento area. They met when Gallagher answered an ad placed by Wilhoit looking for someone to jam with. The pair bonded over their mutual love of heavy metal, tube amplifiers, and occult philosophy, writing the songs 'A Shepard’s Teeth for a Winter’s Coat' and 'Dragger' during their first jam session with Gallagher on drums and Wilhoit on guitar.
"After recording these songs at Earth Tone Studios in Rocklin, California, with session bassist Robert Lander, the pair decided to shop their demo around and place an ad for a vocalist. Julie Seymour responded, and got the job after one audition: Gallagher and Wilhoit were impressed with her ability to switch back and forth between black metal screams and ethereal clean singing.
