Everything from crushing doom, progressive noodlings, to uplifting beer core. You like us because you'll be forced to, not because you want to. This is ROCK you slackers! Uncompromising music. I dare you to disagree.
Analysis of Bison Kills are the band formerly known as Tear Gas and Plate Glass. Formed in 2001, the core duo of brothers Matthew and Nathan Dick released their debut self titled demo to positive reviews in the underground metal press. Backed by a drum machine, the two piece carved out oppressive slabs of sludge doom in the vein of British greats such as Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey and Godflesh.
Driven to progress their sound and branch out beyond the conventional doom/sludge template, Analysis of Bison Kills recruited Dutch drummer Andries v.d. Boom. With this new line up intact AOBK recorded their second demo “The Sea Stranded Whipjack” delivering everything from cerebral busy riffing to slow motion doom dirges tinged with electronic experimentation. This second release met with glowing reviews.
AOBK were soon signed to Sound Devastation Records and work began on ‘Vantage’, a four song 30 minute mini album. Again, the band’s line up expanded, adding Scott Tyrell on bass guitar.
On ‘Vantage’ AOBK continue to set themselves apart from their peers, straying far enough from current trends to deliver fresh sounding multifaceted heavy music. This unique act have continued to grow far beyond their doom/sludge roots into something truly special.

Praise for 'Vantage' and previous releases:
“It rocks like a bastard!”. [8/10] Rock Sound Magazine
“AOBK explore exactly the sort of far-flung cerebral dynamism and leadweight grace that gives brain-metal a good name. A Cult Of Luna-sized buzz surely awaits”. [8.5/10] Terrorizer Magazine
“As forward thinking as last time, mixing driving sludge and plodding, slo-mo doom courtesy of Andries' technical drumming, wall-of-jericho guitars, and intense, shredding vocals”. Doom-Metal.com
“I think the best way to describe their sound would be progressive sludge. Although don't be expecting AOBK to pour oodles of Sabbath riffs down on you, there is a much more intricate sound at work here mixing in the thundering, epic heaviness of Isis with some Old Man Gloom and some Iron Monkey style riff rock for good measure”. [7/7] Daredevil Magazine
