HÖG

**HÖG** is a heavy rock trio from Portland, Oregon, known for their grimy and aggressive blend of 70s-inspired doom, stoner, blues, and punk rock. Their debut album, *Blackhole* (2025), showcases their raw, street-level style with influences from iconic bands like Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, and Budgie. The band’s lineup includes Daniel on guitar and vocals, Adam on drums, and Bobcat on bass. Their sound captures the “dirty bleakness” of Portland, channeling a blend of sleazy garage rock and proto-metal with a modern psychedelic and fuzz rock vibe, making them a fresh but familiar force in heavy rock today.

The album *Blackhole* features tracks filled with heavy riffs and gritty vocals, ranging from doom-laden growls to bluesy energy, with songs like “City Witch” adding an occult rock feel reminiscent of classic Motörhead. While their music isn’t completely original in sound, HÖG’s unapologetic attitude and dynamic performances inject plenty of personality, earning high praise for their sheer entertainment value. Their style is perfect for fans of raw, heavy, and rebellious rock and roll.
