EPK – Frogg – Eclipse (2025) – Out March 7th
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
“The people who are already faithful to FROGG will find as much of the stuff that they signed up for as surprises. We don’t operate in one genre all the time.” – Will Brown – Drums, Percussion, World Instruments
“The singles each showcased different stylistic strengths, Wake Up being more progressive, Dandelion and Double Vision Roll more in the vein of something between death metal and prog metal. At the end of the day, we’re an amalgamation of the music we enjoy, and that’s what the band is and why we sit in between a few key sub-genres.” – Sky Moon Clark – Vocals, Guitars
For fans of Children of Bodom, BTBAM, Unexpect, Periphery, Necrophagist

“Weirdo avant-garde metal band Frogg have jut shared a video for “Double Vision Roll,” and, boy, is it quirky. If you’re not yet familiar with Frogg, they are all about delivering a weird and wonderful live experience They experiment with different world instruments and songwriting ideas, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in heavy music, and you can see a little bit of that on display here. The song was produced by Frogg guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clark and Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit). Frogg are recommended for fans of weird and wild, as well as those who appreciate a little technicality in their music.” – Decibel Magazine (2025 – Eclipse)
“After a few years of one-off singles and an EP this stellar prog project is finally gifting us with a full record. This includes some wild guitar work, breakneck shifts in tone, and is just a great time overall. This is recommended if you like BtBaM, Last Chance To Reason, etc.” – Metal Injection (2025 – Eclipse)
“The band is immensely talented, and their musicianship registers off the charts… This is an album that every Metalhead should hear, for the technical brilliance alone. 8/10″ – Metal-Temple (2025 – Eclipse)
“Their musical style is a kaleidoscope of genres, with a real melting pot of influences… there is no denying that there is a lot of talent on show here. There is obviously a desire to produce something unusual and it will be interesting to see where they go from here. 8/10″ – The Prog Space (2025 – Eclipse)
“It’s no secret that amphibians aren’t doing so hot as a class; Frogg‘s eclectic tech is a welcome consolation prize amidst this eroding diversity. The confident creativity of these NY-based herpetologists recalls The Odious at their most unhinged—a morass of influences ranging from electronica to deathcore that sticks to my neurons like flies to a tongue. Whether channeling the brutal (“Dandelion,” despite the name, is fairly dissonant) or the ethereal (“Wake Up”‘s clean vocals and synths), Eclipse hops between genres like we breathe. Evolution willing, they’ll continue carving out a niche for themselves in the crowded tech death ecosystem.” – Roldy – Toilet ov Hell (2025 – Eclipse)
“Frogg’s Eclipse comes to challenge our hearing abilities through unparalleled virtuosity. It is a test of endurance and a lesson in how the most advanced technique can merge with brutality to create a unique, disconcerting but fascinating listening experience.” – Dargedik (2025 – Eclipse)
“Frogg have the instrumental chops to find a dominant place in this style of music.” – Heavy Music HQ (2025 – Eclipse)
“10 tracks of technical death and prog metal. Seriously complex and technical playing fusing brutal moments with melodic wonderful oddness! If you wish Steve Vai was heavier then give this a spin.” – Loud Enough Magazine? (2025 – Eclipse)
“Battered Over The Head… Playfully: Not much more I can say, other than to repeat that this is music which challenges the listener. The band play out of their skins, absolutely dazzling us with off-the-charts playing. Anyone who loves heavy music which is progressive will love this album (no should about it). What does help is that Frogg adds little touches of playfulness as well as extra or surprising musical instruments to keep the whole thing entertaining. I said in the review of the EP that it showed “great promise”. And that “promise” has in my view been met on this album. Once again they battered me over the head in the most fun way musically. I can only imagine the fun of seeing them do this stuff live. A must-have for fans of extreme progressive music.” – CGCM Radio / Podcast (2025 – Eclipse)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
““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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“A Reptilian Dystopia” shines with technical sophistication” – Artnoir (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)
“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 (2020 – A Reptilian Dystopia – EP)

==================================================
About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)
A sonic eclipse where every genre collides—progressive, technical, and just enough death to keep your neck sore for weeks. – Ethan Emery – Bass
Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)
1. Walp – Designed explicitly as a live opener. The studio process morphed it a bit, as the original didn’t account for the possibility of using much extra instrumentation or backing tracks.
2. Life Zero – Blends fast aggressive riffs with intermittent sections of clean guitars, and explores themes of self-worth.
3. Dandelion – Always on the path towards a dead end. Heavy out of control thrashing. Getting physical is a remedy.
4. Eclipse I: Blind Bakunawa – Oedipus’s tale meets getting sick to your stomach. A lot of heavy in the music to pair.
5. Eclipse II: Sickened By Silence – Getting strung along while navigating feeling left out, only to realize you’ve been betrayed the whole time. Tech death into djent into fusion into melodeath into an orchestral black metal finish.
6. Interspecific Hybrid Species – Climate change is coming for us all. Proggy goodness. Earth will shed its shell if it needs to.
7. Wake Up – Have you ever felt like you keep going to bed and having a recurring dream? Except it keeps snowballing into something more sinister and you can’t kick it? Proggy goodness paired with dreamscapes take you on this journey.
8. Sun Stealer – Mostly riff-driven but there was a desire to use the intro to try and build a “horror movie score” aesthetic using Hindustani classical instrumentation. Proggy Heavy Fusion.
9. Double Vision Roll – features powerful guitar riffs with a pretty bouncy, “feel-good” vibe, in contrast with the lyrics which explore themes of confusion, doubt, and self-confidence.
10. Omni Trigger – Omni Trigger is one of the more chaotic and aggressive songs on the album, that sorta sounds like what the lyrics are describing – a galaxy imploding. Features a break with a bunch of authentic world instruments Will played.
=======================================================
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.
