New Yorkâs FROGG Will Have You Jumping Up And Down With Technical Metal Single âWake Upâ
|
|
FROGG is a modern experimental technical metal band located in the New York metropolitan area, USA. The concept behind FROGG is simple: create modern heavy music while striving to show off some originality in an often-over-processed genre. They released their debut EP âA Reptilian Dystopiaâ in 2019 and will have a successor in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, they have a fresh new single out âWake Upâ, which according to them, is a metal song until it isnât. Itâs a song about changing your perspective on something you were convinced would always remain the same – your mind suddenly snaps and changes your outlook. Itâs a melange of styles, the guitar solo section is riddled with authentic Afro-Cuban instrumentation which separates the front and back of the songâs structure, opening up the repeating verse and pop-punk-styled chorus for a more dynamic interpretation. The band comments:
âWake Up is the first song written with FROGGâs new lineup and experimentation with world instruments. The song is the first of three singles that will be part of our upcoming full-length. As we wrote and played the material, Wake Up got stuck in our heads and we immediately knew we were cooking something good. Itâs definitely tamer than some of our other upcoming songs, but the catchy chorus slapped in a way that made us want to share it first.â
FROGGâs main ambition is to hit the live circuit with a perfected performance and its brand-new line-up. FROGG has been relentlessly rehearsing original material both new and old, with hopes to deliver an authentic live experience. Being in the band enables them to express their artistry in its pure, complicated, and intricate form. Itâs extremely demanding music that requires a lot of practice and they arenât afraid of the required grind. They are eager to share this passion with fans around the world, especially those who enjoy Children of Bodom, Between the Buried and Me, and Galneryus.

Past Reviews for 2020 EP “A Reptilian Dystopia”
“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
“The music is impressively performed and written. Crazy technical menageries of Adderall-fueled obsession meshed with emotive melody just spilling out everywhere. Itâs a great time, and definitely worth checking out. Definitely a band to be watching in the future.” – No Clean Singing
“Besides the clever songwriting and incredible lead guitar work, Iâm a fan of the way the album sounds, too. Itâs almost certainly going to be too processed for some peoplesâs 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
