As the world burns, Buzzard sifts through the ashes with 10 new doom folk metal songs on Hush Now. Musically, Hush Now expands on Buzzard’s signature heavy Americana with fuzz guitars, acoustic instrumentation, and classic keyboard sounds. Lyrically, Hush Now depicts our post-hope planet with vivid imagery, wry humor, and bracing honesty.
The year 2025 saw Buzzard garner critical acclaim with Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright (#2 Clean and Sober Stoner Best of 2025, Obelisk Short Release of the Year) and Mean Bone (#15 Obelisk Best of 2025, Noob Heavy Best of 2025 Mid-Year Round-up), not to mention side project Satiricus Doomicus Americus (#8 Obelisk Best of 2025), earning praise from Sleeping Village Reviews, Outlaws of the Sun, Black Metal Archives, Metal Institute of Thrashology, Heavy Metal Darkness, Headbanger Reviews, Ninehertz, the Doom Charts, and many more.
Catchy and bleak, Buzzard’s fourth record Hush Now fulfills the promise of 2024 debut Doom Folk to create “protest music for the end times.” (It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine).
