Unelashing their technical modern metal marvel, the debut album “Eclipse” this past March, New York’s FROGG is exhibiting their new animated music video “Interspecific Hybrid Species” in support of the record, co-produced by guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clarkand Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit).
Full of proggy goodness, the track has a strong message about climate change coming for us all.
“Interspecific Hybrid Species” is an intensely proggy, mind-bending epic that weaves intricate chaos with relentless precision, delivering a whirlwind of technical wizardry and amphibious fury,” adds the band.
Watch and listen to the music video “Interspecific Hybrid Species” via its premiere on HeavyBlogIsHeavy HERE.
Frogg‘s first full-length features ten tracks of heavy, raw, progressive, death, and avant-garde thinking metal. Fans who have been following Frogg since their conception will find exactly what they signed up for, along with lots of fun surprises. The band doesn’t operate in one genre all the time, and “Eclipse” is set to wonder.
“A sonic eclipse where every genre collides—progressive, technical, and just enough death to keep your neck sore for weeks,” adds bassist Ethan Emery.
Lyrically, the record explores Mythology from various places, along with tying tales and emotions together. Fans can expect seasonal singles from Frogg going forward as they already have plans for follow-up singles to come real soon after the album’s release.
FROGG’smain ambition is to hit the live circuit with a perfected performance and its brand-new line-up. With performance in mind, FROGG has been relentlessly rehearsing new original material and old, to deliver an authentic live experience.
Committed to technical excellence and progressive innovation, Frogg is recommended for fans of weird and wild and fans who appreciate bands such as Protest the Hero, Between the Buried and Me, Zenith Passage, Unexpect, and Obscura.
“Eclipse” was released on March 7, 2025, and is available at https://froggofficial.bandcamp.com.

“Weirdo avant-garde metal band Frogg have jut shared a video for “Double Vision Roll,” and, boy, is it quirky. If you’re not yet familiar with Frogg, they are all about delivering a weird and wonderful live experience They experiment with different world instruments and songwriting ideas, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in heavy music, and you can see a little bit of that on display here. The song was produced by Frogg guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clark and Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit). Frogg are recommended for fans of weird and wild, as well as those who appreciate a little technicality in their music.” – Decibel Magazine (2025 – Eclipse)
“After a few years of one-off singles and an EP this stellar prog project is finally gifting us with a full record. This includes some wild guitar work, breakneck shifts in tone, and is just a great time overall. This is recommended if you like BtBaM, Last Chance To Reason, etc.” – Metal Injection (2025 – Eclipse)
“The band is immensely talented, and their musicianship registers off the charts… This is an album that every Metalhead should hear, for the technical brilliance alone. 8/10” – Metal-Temple (2025 – Eclipse)
“Their musical style is a kaleidoscope of genres, with a real melting pot of influences… there is no denying that there is a lot of talent on show here. There is obviously a desire to produce something unusual and it will be interesting to see where they go from here. 8/10” – The Prog Space (2025 – Eclipse)
“Its extreme dedication to complex construction will pose an issue to the unprepared—digesting this kind of technicality-positioned music is never effortless. The volume of riffage, the speed of every rollicking bar, the force of every abundant fill present loaded and crooked in smile, though the shorter-form execution lowers the threshold for repeated exposure. In a rose-colored vision of what progressive death metal can be, Frogg finds a freedom in fanciful melody, brief poppy breaks, and unrestrained (but not all encompassing) musical showmanship. And if a debut can unwrap as fresh as Eclipse does, Frogg may very well find the world entrapped in their sticky wiles. 3.5/5” – Angry Metal Guy (2025 – Eclipse)
“It’s no secret that amphibians aren’t doing so hot as a class; Frogg‘s eclectic tech is a welcome consolation prize amidst this eroding diversity. The confident creativity of these NY-based herpetologists recalls The Odious at their most unhinged—a morass of influences ranging from electronica to deathcore that sticks to my neurons like flies to a tongue. Whether channeling the brutal (“Dandelion,” despite the name, is fairly dissonant) or the ethereal (“Wake Up”‘s clean vocals and synths), Eclipse hops between genres like we breathe. Evolution willing, they’ll continue carving out a niche for themselves in the crowded tech death ecosystem.” – Roldy – Toilet ov Hell (2025 – Eclipse)
“I know it’s still relatively early in the year, but this is the best thing I’ve heard this year. The way they managed to make a progressive melodic and damn near technical death metal amalgamation sound this great is truly something. This is an easy 10/10 and will be in constant rotation for some time to come. As always don’t forget to stream and buy the music if you like it!” – Technical Music Review (2025 – Eclipse)
“Frogg have the instrumental chops to find a dominant place in this style of music.” – Heavy Music HQ (2025 – Eclipse)
“Battered Over The Head… Playfully: Not much more I can say, other than to repeat that this is music which challenges the listener. The band play out of their skins, absolutely dazzling us with off-the-charts playing. Anyone who loves heavy music which is progressive will love this album (no should about it). What does help is that Frogg adds little touches of playfulness as well as extra or surprising musical instruments to keep the whole thing entertaining. I said in the review of the EP that it showed “great promise”. And that “promise” has in my view been met on this album. Once again they battered me over the head in the most fun way musically. I can only imagine the fun of seeing them do this stuff live. A must-have for fans of extreme progressive music.” – CGCM Radio / Podcast (2025 – Eclipse)
