Biography:
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. Their new rhythm section brought with him years of experience and a fluid technical drum style informed by jazz, funk and death metal. With this new line up intact AOBK recorded their second demo "The Sea Stranded Whipjack". With this release the band's sound had progressed beyond their roots, delivering everything from busy cerebral riffing to slow motion doom dirges tinged with electronic experimentation. This second release met with glowing reviews in Terrorizer, Rock Sound and various online publications.

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. Now a fully formed unit AOBK travelled to Holland to record their debut for Sound Devastation Records.

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 Analysis Of Bison Kills
"Exploring 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."
:: Terrorizor Magazine (UK) ::

"As forward thinking as ever, mixing driving sludge and plodding, slo-mo doom courtesy of Andries' technical drumming, wall-of-jericho guitars, and intense, shredding vocals."
:: DoomMetal.com (USA) ::

"I think the best way to describe their sound would be progressive sludge. Although don't be expecting them 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."
