“-500 years before ascension-

He tires of wordly trappings and so departs into the wilderness. There, the great Wizard Gonk awaits. A mighty guide through this garden. Together they seek it’s forbidden fruit; the Road Raisins. Once found, the flesh is consumed, giving way to visions of a coming collapse. The sound of The Amphibian can be heard, calling to the sage, and The Froglady’s embrace guides him back to earth. Returning to the world on a Wednesday, he knows he must hold on till the lord cometh. Till that time, the mind must be honed and create a swamp of it’s own.”

Formed during the pandemic as a one-man project, Froglord released their first EP in 2020, followed soon after by a full-length album. Through their infectious grooves, storytelling, and DIY music videos, Froglord quickly amassed an online cult-like following. After the release of their second album »The Mystic Toad« a year later, Froglord developed into a full 4-piece band as live venues began to reopen.

Since then Froglord have released a further EP, split record, a single and their third full-length album in 2022, developing both a powerful and theatrical stage presence.

Whilst Froglord’s sound leans primarily toward stoner doom, they have taken stong influnces from pychedelia, progressive metal, sludge, and grunge; to deliver the tale of The Froglord through a concept-based discography.

Rooted also in environmentalism, Froglord has worked closely with Save The Frogs, the worlds largest amphibian-based conservation charity, raising over £2500 through »Save The Frogs« EP sales and campaigning, as well as £300 for the Human Dignity Trust through merch sales.
