“Frogg cover seemingly contradictory bases of portentous tech-death, galloping melodic thrash and hopeful, opne chord djent. It’s smart musical alignment with their theme of something new rising from the ashes of the old.” – Metal Hammer

“FROGG is a dangerous force of Technical Metal making themselves known!” – The Circle Pit

“Technical Death rising star” – GhostCult Mag

“The music is impressively performed and written.  Crazy technical menageries of Adderall-fueled obsession meshed with emotive melody just spilling out everywhere.  It’s a great time, and definitely worth checking out.  Definitely a band to be watching in the future.” – No Clean Singing

“FROGG have succeeded where others in the tech-metal cesspool have failed this year. They have produced a fresh & enjoyable 5-course meal of  original organic riffs, unsaturated with lameness & paired impeccably with a robust production worthy of all bedroom audio nerdz. A Reptilian Dystopia should be a huge part of everyone’s 2020 playlist.” – TrveNorth Reviews

“Besides the clever songwriting and incredible lead guitar work, I’m a fan of the way the album sounds, too. It’s almost certainly going to be too processed for some peoples’s tastes, but everything sounds wonderfully clear and distinct. The rhythm guitar tone is pleasantly crisp and the leads perfectly smooth, and the bass is super chunky. This is a promising EP, and I, for one, welcome our new amphibious overlords.” – Toilet Ov Hell

“This is an incredible EP, guys. Every one of these songs has made it into heavy rotation, and I am honestly so excited to hear more in the future.” – Metal Trenches

“Frogg are certainly worth checking out for anyone who likes their music heavy, brutal and challenging. This is not for the faint-hearted! The musicianship is superb throughout and this EP shows great promise. A new name to watch and follow to see where they go next. Good stuff!” – CGCM Podcast

““A Reptilian Dystopia” is absolutely a solid, proggy technical metal release, with all the time signature changes, insane scale runs, and gorgeous harmonies you’d expect from modern progressive shredders. Pulling no punches the EPs first track ‘Ancient Rain’ is a constantly changing beast of a track, shifting from blast beat heavy punishing riffs to entrancing melodies. I found it hard to get bored during its three and a half minutes of beautiful aggression… This guy is a beast on the axe, clearly, a great musician and I look forward to seeing this band do very well in the near future… if you’re into some proggy technical goodness, definitely for fans of bands like Obscura, The Zenith Passage or Fallujah.” – Roxx100

“My favorite part is definitely the ability to sound different in a genre that is starting to get a little stale. Its a heavy blend of Tech while adding some extra melody. Most tech death bands literally go for face melting riffs. Which is also cool. But after a while that gets kind of boring. So for a band like Frogg to put out an EP like this, they could help lead the next generation of tech death kids.” 10/10 – Between The Lines Media

“The quality on show here is amazing for a first release and has left us salivating at the prospect of their debut album [9/10]” – Metal Noise

“Bursting into life with a colossus bang, it’s a technical monstrosity that greets listeners with Ancient Storm. It’s wild, it’s nasty but it’s built on a foundation of sharp riffs and ferocious groove.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life 

“There’s enough impressive lead guitar work to fit onto a full album, let alone all that’s crammed into these four songs.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“A short and sweet stash of riffs, licks and raw emotion inoculated over the years, poured out into the world in the form of modern and thrilling Technical Death Metal.” – The Headbanging Moose

“The band’s mix of fast, brutal and melodic aspects blends nicely to create an intense, high energy atmosphere. With guttural vocal roars, fast and technical riffs and a ton of raw emotion, what’s not to like?” – The Music Below

“This EP is interesting, because it’s extremely heavy, but it also has a great grasp on melody. Think like… Inanimate Existence + Born Of Osiris + Chon? It’s extremely well played – technical and fast as all hell – while remaining palatable and not overbearing. It’s an interesting balance they have going, and it’s definitely impressive for a debut, especially the 7 minute beast of a track that is DNA.” – Zax Record Reviews

“A Reptilian Dystopia is a succession of rock-hard riffs, complex melodies, extremes and power. The Ep is raw and brutal and according to Sky Moon Clark offers the basis for an album that will be released at the end of 2021. An album with an even more balanced track list. For the time being it is now fifteen minutes of solid extreme metal that will wake you up.” – Rockportaal

“A Reptilian Dystopia” shines with technical sophistication” – Artnoir

“This first EP should delight fans of Obscura , Necrophagist or Arsis… A Reptilian Dystopia is a solid discovery full of promise and the revelation of a very talented musician.” – Eklektik Rock

“Bonkers EP here that sploshes Obscura’s tech-death virtuosity up against maniacal djent intentions. The musicianship’s something else and the frantic widdling never seems to stop…” – Collective Zine 

“The guitar work is beyond phenomenal, and the vocals are just as catchy. They aren’t 100% death metal but are really a blend of modern tech metal and death metal.  I’m extremely excited to see if the band is cooking up any live shows to promote the release and am definitely keeping my eyes on this project from here on out. If you want that Decapitated/Arsis/Obscura blend of groove and technicality Frogg is meant for you.” – Technical Music Review

“FROGG: Delivers an authentic live sound with no backup!” – Permafrost Today

======================================================

Band Story/Fun Facts:

1. Sky is the proud father of 3 white tree frogs. They voraciously eat a lot of live bugs.

2. Will is proficient at hundreds, if not thousands of different world instruments. FROGG’s current HQ is located in Will’s studio, which is riddled with them. We refer to it as the instrument petting zoo. He also has some serious peacocks (the bird).

3. Jack Lynch ordinarily runs his sound through two very large custom pedal boards, and we have just introduced him to the neural DSP quad cortex.

4. Sky is fluent in French

5. The band name is literally because we like frogs. It’s an old name, and the band was technically founded in 2009. All involved still liked frogs, and we do too.

L-R – Will Brown – Drummer & Percussionist, Sky Moon Clark – Lead Vocals & Guitars, Jack Lynch – Bass
