Froglord - Save the Frogs

Stoner från Storbritannien. Från intervju :
"For the entirety of our interview, Sage (the title he wished to be addressed by, drawn from his mythical order “Scholars of the College of the Swamp”), donned a rubber frog mask. It isn’t just for anonymity—he’s the sole member of Bristol, UK-based stoner metal project Froglord, fusing fuzzy feedback with an environmentalist edge to tell the story of the titular ancient frog deity."
"Once a millenium, the Froglord rises from the swamp to restore balance to the Earth, and Sage deciphers and delivers messages he receives from the Froglord through the amphibian aether. “He’s a manifestation of the earth and the natural balance of it,” Sage says."
"During the first UK lockdown I had this phase of watching B-movie horror films from the 50s & 60s. They were natural horror films—films about giant frogs or mutant rabbits. The first EP was some hodgepodge I threw together in a week and a half because I had this concept of a Lovecraftian frog that rose from the swamp with X-ray vision."
"Froglord’s arc rests on its versatility, where the peculiarity of the concept is a buffer for its true intentions. Its campiness negates the potential haughtiness of Sage’s environmentalism, which, despite its importance, is often a hurdle. The division of art and ecocentric soapbox is one Froglord navigates by reveling in its high concept and by maintaining a lighthearted schema. As Sage indulges more of his off-kilter influences, it’s vital he remain masked—humanity may not be ready for its future as foretold by the amphibian ascension."
