This elusive and constantly-evolving Liverpool collective harness the ritualistic and cathartic power of repetition, monstrous riffs and squalls of atonal noise in their unique take on rhythmic heavy psych. Blending vocals that range from hypnotic mantras to explosive psychic outbursts with brutal rhythmic pummelling and glacial electronics.
Bonnacons of Doom have been making waves in the UK underground through a series of explosive festival shows and site-specific performances.
Their debut album was released on Rocket Recordings in 2018; after releasing a 7’’split on God Unknown Single Club, the band released a new EP on Rocket in September 2019.
“Liverpool’s black caped & mirror-masked Bonnacons of Doom incorporate death trombone drones into their massed mantras and psychic wailings” - Mojo
“Taking more of a Swans approach to sonic worship than swirling acid trips, the Bonnacons are monolithic in delivery” - Dazed
“Volume. Exhilaration. Sensory overload… This is molten heaviness at its most graceful… versatile enough to survive collaboration with Liverpool Cathedral choir, yet packing a muscular punch that’s guaranteed to leave you reeling” - The Skinny
Truly fucking bizarre; imagine Master Musicians of Bukkake playing a house party on The Wicker Man island” - Echoes and Dust
