NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – April 2, 2025
FROGG Display Technical Metal Wizardry In New Animated Video “Interspecific Hybrid Species”
Debut Album “Eclipse” Out Now!
Co-Produced by Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit)
L-R: Will Brown (Drums) | Sky Moon Clark (Vocals & Guitar) | Brett Fairchild (Guitar) | Ethan Emery (Bass)
Unelashing their technical modern metal marvel, the debut album “Eclipse” this past March, New York’s FROGG is exhibiting their new animated music video “Interspecific Hybrid Species” in support of the record, co-produced by guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clark and Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit).
Full of proggy goodness, the track has a strong message about climate change coming for us all.
“Interspecific Hybrid Species is an intensely proggy, mind-bending epic that weaves intricate chaos with relentless precision, delivering a whirlwind of technical wizardry and amphibious fury,” adds the band.
Watch and listen to the music video “Interspecific Hybrid Species” via its premiere on HeavyBlogIsHeavy HERE.
Frogg‘s first full-length features ten tracks of heavy, raw, progressive, death, and avant-garde thinking metal. Fans who have been following Frogg since their conception will find exactly what they signed up for, along with lots of fun surprises. The band doesn’t operate in one genre all the time, and “Eclipse” is set to wonder.
“A sonic eclipse where every genre collides—progressive, technical, and just enough death to keep your neck sore for weeks,” adds bassist Ethan Emery.
Lyrically, the record explores Mythology from various places, along with tying tales and emotions together. Fans can expect seasonal singles from Frogg going forward as they already have plans for follow-up singles to come real soon after the album’s release.
FROGG’s main ambition is to hit the live circuit with a perfected performance and its brand-new line-up. With performance in mind, FROGG has been relentlessly rehearsing new original material and old, to deliver an authentic live experience.
Committed to technical excellence and progressive innovation, Frogg is recommended for fans of weird and wild and fans who appreciate bands such as Protest the Hero, Between the Buried and Me, Zenith Passage, Unexpect, and Obscura.
“Eclipse” was released on March 7, 2025, and is available at https://froggofficial.bandcamp.com.

“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)
“Its extreme dedication to complex construction will pose an issue to the unprepared—digesting this kind of technicality-positioned music is never effortless. The volume of riffage, the speed of every rollicking bar, the force of every abundant fill present loaded and crooked in smile, though the shorter-form execution lowers the threshold for repeated exposure. In a rose-colored vision of what progressive death metal can be, Frogg finds a freedom in fanciful melody, brief poppy breaks, and unrestrained (but not all encompassing) musical showmanship. And if a debut can unwrap as fresh as Eclipse does, Frogg may very well find the world entrapped in their sticky wiles. 3.5/5” – Angry Metal Guy (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)
“I know it’s still relatively early in the year, but this is the best thing I’ve heard this year. The way they managed to make a progressive melodic and damn near technical death metal amalgamation sound this great is truly something. This is an easy 10/10 and will be in constant rotation for some time to come. As always don’t forget to stream and buy the music if you like it!” – Technical Music Review (2025 – Eclipse)
“Frogg have the instrumental chops to find a dominant place in this style of music.” – Heavy Music HQ (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)

“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)

FROGG To Deliver A Sonic “Eclipse” of Bold, Modern Metal w/ Debut Album Coming March 2025

L-R: Will Brown (Drums) | Sky Moon Clark (Vocals & Guitar) | Brett Fairchild (Guitar) | Ethan Emery (Bass)
Frogg, the technical metal sensation from New York, USA, announces they will unveil their debut album “Eclipse” in March 2025. A long time in waiting, this first full-length features ten tracks of heavy, raw, progressive, and avant-garde thinking metal.
Over the last two years, the band has been unraveling singles such as “Double Vision Roll”, “Dandelion”, and “Wake Up” with music videos, all of which will be showcased on the record that was co-produced by Frogg guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clark and Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit).
The singles each exhibited 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, Frogg is an amalgamation of the music the quartet enjoys, and that’s what the band is and why they sit in between a few key sub-genres.
“A sonic eclipse where every genre collides—progressive, technical, and just enough death to keep your neck sore for weeks.” adds the band’s newest addition bassist Ethan Emery (Survive The Sun & Absurd Condition).
“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,” adds drummer Will Brown.
Lyrically, the record explores Mythology from various places along with tying tales and emotions together. Fans can expect seasonal singles from Frogg going forward as they already have plans for follow-up singles to come real soon after the album’s release.
FROGG’s main ambition is to hit the live circuit with a perfected performance and its brand-new line-up. With performance in mind, FROGG has been relentlessly rehearsing new original material and old, to deliver an authentic live experience.

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.

FROGG Presents New Experimental Techie Music Video “Double Vision Roll” Off Forthcoming Debut Album
|

Frogg, the avant-garde experimental technical metal sensation hailing from New York, USA, is back with another fun and unique single, “Double Vision Roll”. With a mission to redefine modern heavy music while infusing it with originality and complexity, Frogg is at times silly, and over the top, but always engaging. They comment on their new single:
“Double Vision Roll is a simple song. It’s about having a mental breakdown, a midlife crisis of sorts. Experiencing a shitstorm of a day and it snowballs into worse and worse things. It gets so bad that you start hallucinating, hyperventilating and literally seeing double.”
At the core of Frogg’s ethos is a commitment to delivering a perfected live experience, showcasing their brand-new lineup and unrestrained creativity. For them, music enables the expression of our artistry in its pure, complicated, and intricate form. It’s demanding music that requires a lot of practice, but it’s a labor of love. They experiment with different world instruments and songwriting ideas, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in heavy music.
Produced by Frogg guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clark and Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit), “Double Vision Roll” promises a listening experience saturated with interesting moments in each section, reflecting Frogg‘s commitment to technical excellence and progressive innovation. They are recommended for fans of weird and wild, and those who appreciate Between The Buried And Me, Galneryus, and Obscura.

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. It’s 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, 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 Rebels Against Working To Death w/ New Single “Dandelion” Off Forthcoming Debut Album

FROGG is a modern progressive and experimental technical trio located in the New York metropolitan area, USA. The concept behind the band is simple: create modern heavy music while striving to show off some originality in an often-over-processed genre. They released their debut EP “A Reptilian Dystopia” in 2019 and will have their first full-length this coming Summer 2024.
Having unveiled their first single “Wake Up” this past September, which featured a melange of styles, with the guitar solo section riddled with authentic Afro-Cuban instrumentation to a pop-punk-styled chorus for a more dynamic interpretation. FROGG is now divulging the second preview of their yet-to-be-titled album.
Entitled “Dandelion”, the track conveys one of the big messages from their music, to rebel against the structured process of being slowly worked to death. It’s smooth, yet technical and ready to take you on an intensive sprint of emotions, but also bring you to a calm retirement.
“Dandelion brings a much darker palette when compared to our previous single Wake Up, and features a lot of fun technical musical moments.” adds vocalist/guitarist Sky Moon Clark.
Expressing their artistry in its pure, complicated, and intricate form, FROGG is eager to share this passion with fans around the world. Their main ambition is to hit the live circuit with their perfect performance and brand-new line-up.
They are recommended listening for those who enjoy The Ocean, Animals As Leaders, Periphery, and Between the Buried and Me.

New York’s FROGG Will Have You Jumping Up And Down With Technical Metal Single “Wake Up”
|
|
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 “A Reptilian Dystopia” in 2019 and will have a successor in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, they have a fresh new single out “Wake Up”, which according to them, is a metal song until it isn’t. It’s a song about changing your perspective on something you were convinced would always remain the same – your mind suddenly snaps and changes your outlook. It’s a melange of styles, the guitar solo section is riddled with authentic Afro-Cuban instrumentation which separates the front and back of the song’s structure, opening up the repeating verse and pop-punk-styled chorus for a more dynamic interpretation. The band comments:
“Wake Up is the first song written with FROGG’s 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. It’s 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.”
FROGG’s 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. It’s extremely demanding music that requires a lot of practice and they aren’t 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.
