BONGINATOR – neue Videosingle; Album in Kürze
BONGINATOR have revealed another song from their upcoming new album "Retrodeath", scheduled for October 24th 2025 via Testimony Records on all formats.
With the new video single "Short Ass Bus", BONGINATOR celebrate their big bad yellow tour-vehicle. The New England death metal posse has invited Abel Abarca, vocalist of American hardcore maniacs BIG ASS TRUCK from Inland Empire, CA, and vocalist Colin Richardson from their brothers-in-grooves IGNOMINIOUS to the party and you should totally feel free to join the fun, too!

Vocalist and shredder Erik Thorstenn comments: "When you were a kid, did you have to ride the short bus to school? Wait... that was just us? Anyway, this song is a banger and features our homies Abel Abarca from Big Ass Truck and Colin Richardson from Ignominious. It's a song about going to school, being covered in drool, and having a big ass. Also the guitar solo is sick. Just saying. No clue, how we will pull that off live. Listen and tell us what you think! But uh... Are you serious that none of you rode the short bus to school?"
Bang, boom, BONGINATOR! Madness reigns supreme on the band’s sophomore full-length: "Retrodeath" marks the birth of a new sound, not just for the band but also for the genre. The weed-devouring youngsters have actually put a lot of work into their new songs. Well, if you call immersing yourself for months into '80s action and horror movies as well as playing loads of old video games... 'work'.
Then again, more days were spent researching and emulating the exact synths used in the '80s to create some of their favorite soundtracks. The result is a fresh and somewhat happily unhinged sonic monster that has been carefully bred by BONGINATOR selectively crossing traditional US death metal, synthwave, and 16-bit computer game sounds.
"Retrodeath" takes everything further to far out, gleefully stitches together something new, something old, something borrowed, and a lot of things bold, but somehow manages to make sense of what sounds insane. Full weed ahead!
