Forget what you know. Bongfoot is no longer a stoner band. We present to you a glimpse into the Bongverse. Demonic rhythm funk breaks the sound barrier. Green skies and charred earth turns water to dust. In America we trust. Bongfoot never worked for the CIA.
Our story begins at the dawn of time. Amidst the carnage of the primordial stew sprouted an entity now known to us humans as “Bongfoot”. Wild was the entity born upon our earthly plane, and for eons, they wandered the uninhabitable land. One day amongst the desolate landscape he came upon a haven of green and flourishing life. There, Bongfoot was greeted by the celestial being Mother Gaia. It wasr evealed that the being had long ago fled from her original home in the cosmos, and had long been pursued by the benevolent evils that hid in between the fabric of our universe and the infinite space of the unknown.
Upon landing on the third significant mass from the center of the Milky Way, a spark was lit. The fire from the spark spawned the violent existence of Nature. Bongfoot upon meeting this being, suppresses the wildness of its being and gains the ability to reason. Under orders and the watchful eye of Mother Gaia, Bongfoot set out to terraform the world and become a lord over what is formed. Thousands of years went by, undisturbed only by the life cycle of Gaia; create, destroy, rebuild. Until one day a terrible cry came echoing through the cosmos and shook the earth to its very core. Mother Gaia wept because she knew too well that the source of anguish came as a result of the ancient evil that once hunted her. Troubled by this she sends Bongfoot out into the vast universe in an attempt to slow the encroaching tide of insidious hatred.
Long did Bongfoot travel, and the sights witnessed painted a picture of total war and subjugation of all living things. Each galaxy traversed showed more and more signs of vileness and greed. Too long did Bongfoot spend trying to save the lost souls of these worlds, to no avail. Disgruntled, Bongfoot began his long voyage home to report his findings. However, near the edge of what is known, Bongfoot felt fear for the first time…
