Bonginator - Retrodeath from 9.58 $

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:40:05 +0200

Bang, boom, BONGINATOR! Madness reigns supreme on the sophomore full-length of the American death metal fanatics: "Retrodeath" marks the birth of a new sound, not just for the band but also for the genre. The weed-devouring youngsters have actually put a lot of work into their new songs. Well, if you call immersing yourself for months into '80s action and horror movies as well as playing loads of old video games... 'work'. Then again, more days were spent with researching and emulating the exact synths used in the '80s to reconstruct some of their favourite soundtracks. The result is a fresh and somewhat happily unhinged sonic monster that has been carefully bred by BONGINATOR selectively crossing traditional US death metal, synthwave, and 16-bit computer game sounds. When vocalist and guitarist Erik Thorstenn channelled his love for death metal and weed into the creation of BONGINATOR in 2021, it was not intended as a challenger to incumbents such as CANNABIS CORPSE and WEEDEATER. The band from the New England state of Massachusetts already had a clear vision to carve out their own musical claim. The conceptual idea behind the crazy world of BONGINATOR appeared very much to revolve around a bunch of stoner kids taking on a horde of blood-thirsty aliens and then embarking on an intergalactic road trip to the darkest corners of the universe. Despite a calendar filled with shows, BONGINATOR also found the time to create a new milestone in their fast-rising career. "Retrodeath" takes everything further to far out, gleefully stitches together something new, something old, something borrowed, and a lot of things bold, but somehow manages to make sense of what sounds insane. Full weed ahead!

BONGINATOR are part of a new wave of young death metal aficionados that embrace the old school values of the style but add a fresh approach. This might cause a heart attack with those who think that the genre became too open-minded after 1986, but BONGINATOR are best described as the missing link between the good old days and death metal here and now. Metal and weed are an already established combination that has already found outlet in such well-established acts as Cannabis Corpse and Weedeater. BONGINATOR were not founded as challengers to such incumbents, but frontman Erik Thorstenn started with a strong vision to carve out his own musical claim when he founded the band in the New England state of Massachusetts during the year 2022. Taking inspiration from classic 80s horror and action movies is a given in this scene, but BONGINATOR blend old school death metal, crazy caveman riffs and the lunacy of 90s Colombian drumming with the relentless brutality of Slayer and even 80s synth-wave elements. Although BONGINATOR are obviously nodding to the past, the are definitely looking towards the future, hence their infamous claim „two-stepping neon weed death“.

01. Intro
02. The Doinkinite
03. The Bonginators
04. Interdoob
05. War; On Drugs
