Bitchy Rackmore

Bitchy Rackmore is a Blastcore band originating from Dayton, Ohio. Members consist of Reegan on drums, Delaney on guitar, and Jessi on vocals. They're all about classic rock and playing as fast as humanly possible. For fans of Deterioration, Deep Purple, and Pantera.

How'd you guys meet and what is the origin of BxRx?

Reegan: Delaney and I met in I'd say mid 2016 when I started jamming with Angelo Vierra (Putrid Liquid/Lectularius/Bog of Anguish) and we had played in a small various of groups including Lectularius. Around October of 2017, we had a lot of free time on our hands and we had some random ideas to jam with that weren't really the exact style we were playing already and we thought they sounded cool enough to make an actual project. And coming from our early history of influences with music in general; we both thought it'd be cool to switch around Ritchie Blackmore's name and make it Bitchy Rackmore.

What inspires your music and what are your influences?

Jessi: The best of the best. Ozzy, Ritchie, John Lord, even Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. So skilled that nobody could school them. Foreign bands as well, such as Focus, The Soft Machine, and early metal.

Delaney: Honestly System of a Down, Death, and Megadeth are my biggest influences on guitar.

Are there any influences that would shock your fans?

Jessi: Influences that would shock fans? Probably vocally Su Tissue from Suburban Lawns and Mel Blanc, the guy who did the Loony Tunes back in the day. Probably because they both are super diverse, and can all tirelessly strain their vocal.

What makes a show perfect for you?

Delaney: I think for a show to be perfect there has to be awesome bands playing consisting of your best homies maybe a bigger touring band. Honestly all the best shows I've played has been with my best friends bands in a shitty basement.

What has been, in your opinion, the best show you've had?

Jessi: Our best show would have to be the first one we did together at Mike's Bike Park. We were just asked to fill in for their original singer Creekbaum, and the crowd went wild that night. We decided from then onto keep going with this lineup.

As far as the future holds for BxRx, they have a new release coming soon.

Bog of Anguish @ Torturedvliet Vape Dome 4/16/18

You achingly wake up... what happened? Did you pass out? Last thing you remember was going to a party the other night with your friend, Jeremy. He said something about hitting up another party? Taking some sort of shortcut?

Pain oozes through your head, how much did you end up drinking?

Your eyes are unfocused in the dim light, you feel around for your glasses but reel back when your hand touches something hot and slimy. You're outside? Where are you?

Your clothes stick to your skin. You've been sweating all night, and even though it is in the early hours of dawn, it is oppressively hot. You swat away a mosquito buzzing at your ear.

Then the smell hits you...

You hastily wipe away the filth caked to your glasses and put them on. Around you is nothing but sick, twisted trees and bubbling, brown puddles of  viscus waters.

You retch as a large bubble rises from the waters and pops nearby, sending another wave of putrid stench into your burning nostrils.

Desperately looking around for a way out, you leap up and start running. Your pants and legs are torn and bloody from running through the thorny underbrush. Hours go by...

Your heart sinks as you do not find a way out. You know now... that you have become lost to the bog...

Bog of Anguish is a Blackened Doom metal band from Dayton, Ohio.

The video above is from part of their set at a local house show. A lot of the basement rafter rattling sound and low end is lost in recording, so the video does not do them justice.

In 2017, the two guitarists, Adam and Angelo, got together and started jamming and working on songwriting. Shortly thereafter, Randy joined in on drums followed by Bryan doing Keyboards and Ben on Bass. Thus, the Bog of Anguish bled into this world from tainted waters deep underneath the earth.

BoA's sound is a collaboration. The members are established in different genres of music with different influences and they set out together to try and pick apart black metal to add in other genres. They don't want to be just a Black Metal band and are working towards further experimenting with crossing over genres.

You can hear the different influence mixing together into a deep, dark, and stagnant watery grave that is Bog of Anguish. The seething atmosphere of Wolves In The Throne Room and Xasthur, the blackened abyssal melodies of Emperor and Dimmu Borgir, and most notably the immortally patient passages of Year Of No Light.

As for now, Bog of Anguish plans to continue establishing themselves and working on new material.
