Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metallers BOG WIZARD Announce Details Of Upcoming New Album Journey Through the Dying Lands


Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metallers BOG WIZARD have announced details of their next full length album Journey Through the Dying Lands will be out October 25th!

BOG WIZARD have said this about the upcoming new album:

"This album is a concept collaboration with Madness Hearts Games, featuring songs that tie in with the anthology book that goes by the same name.

The first track, clocking in at just under 20 minutes is called I, Mycelium based off the short story I, Mycelium written by our drummer Harlen Linke, featured in the anthology! I, Mycelium tells the story of a day in the life of the Bog Wizard himself, and advances our overall story with the character we've been building on with our albums.

A limited number of signed copies of the book will be available for pre-order along with the album!
"
