The Kings of Frog Island: Welcome to the void

From the second LP released by The Kings of Frog Island. Recorded at Amphibia Sound Studios I.
Psychedelic Stoner Doom Music to chill out to and relax.
Welcome to the void Copyright 2008 The Kings of Frog Island.
store.cdbaby.com/cd/thekingso...
Other versions of this track have been uploaded to youtube over the years, they are not official so we thought we would upload something ourselves.
Unfortunately we have no video footage of the 6/6/6 session but this was taken shortly after. It shows the early stages of song creation, Mark Buteux and Doj Watson working on a groove for guitar and drums, Gav Searle singing a guide vocal.
Welcome to the void as a song was complimented by other musicians not seen here, Matthew Bethancourt, Matthew (Midge) Day, Lee Madel-Toner and Tony Heslop.
I hope some visuals tell another story, its a familiar track, this is just another way to listen and view it.

Whenever I put this on, it chills me right out. The stress leaches right out of me. Thanks for making this one, guys.

This may just be my All Time Favorite Song. Not kidding. Now my only hope is that when I leave this world, I can have this song playing.

I'm obsessed.

Took my first acid tab and 30min in this song came up. Halfway through the song, I could feel that my body was covered with skin. That was just the start. Unforgettable trip.

Accidentally played this instead of Morgen's Welcome to The Void while high. It has become my favourite stoner track. Good job guys

This song made me go out and buy a fuzz pedal. No joke.

[@TheKingsofFrogIsland]

Big muff!

[@darkbluesproject]

Awesome tune, ethereal vocals

[@ironsoul80]

This is the kinda rock the 90s kids long to hear this track is epic, killer, a massive wall of sound rising and falling with waves of feed back. It sends my soul into the ozone like the wings of a condor drafting up on the thermals created by the sun burning the sands, it evokes imagery of a plain some where between the silver and gold desert and the blue black of outer space in my skull I am there high off the sonic drug you are laying down wave, after wave, after wave I get higher and higher a spirt ascending into the cosmos

[@TheKingsofFrogIsland]

If you don't do it already you should definitely be a writer. Awesome visual words.

Hits So Hard And True! Love It

[@jeroenverbeeck7925]

Fuck man. Some songs just hit exactly how they should. Mars red sky’s Reflection or Collector is the same imo. It’s what you try to achieve as an artist, but will always fail if you do it too consciously. Sometime you just have to riff together with your bandmate, and when the energy is right, you write a song like this masterpiece without trying.

[@agroecoando]

This is perfect

What tuning was used on guitar?

From memory the simple guitar was e standard but with the low e dropped to b or B-flat, only playing the low string. The other guitar was either c or d std, most likely c.

@@TheKingsofFrogIsland beautiful song !

[@TheKingsofFrogIsland]

@@janisonswave4147 I think this one was done on 2 guitars tuned differently. One was drop 4 steps, the lead. The other I think was drop b. I panned the guitars hard left and right, so listen to one side to work out how to play. Most riffs played on thickest three strings usually only covering 4 frets.

[@aaronramos6056]

@@TheKingsofFrogIsland it's easy if you listen to right or left separetly :) try and it makes your skills of ears get better bro

[@Tonijo]

your songs are really great but a little unsatisfying too. they always sound like they're just getting started but then it continues like that and thats it. they are like very good and epic song intros and the song itself is missing. maybe try something more intense and wild for the main part sometimes.

[@TheKingsofFrogIsland]

OK, we will get right on it, more intense, more wild.

[@Tonijo]

@@TheKingsofFrogIsland sorry if my comment sounded rude or something. English isn't my native language. All I wanted to say is that I can feel you have the potential for even greater songs.

[@TheKingsofFrogIsland]

No offence taken! Obvuously we do like to please if we can but generally I'd say we make music for ourselves (easy pleased) and our taste tends to be riffs, repetition and not really to do solos or big choruses. We appreciate this probably limits our reach, its kind of our philosophy and our origins. We liked metallica, if only they didn't solo so much and had been a three piece, or the velvet underground, if only all the songs stuck to the good riff and looped, mudhoney without the punk songs and screaming, just the stoner and 60s. Having said all that our next album has a few ear worms, we will see. We have released about 80 tracks there may be some that will appeal more, definitely give volume 7 a go when it lands in the next few months, you'll be able to listen free right here, bandcamp in high def and spotify / deezer, even vinyl if you are happy to pay kozmik and they deserve some dollars.

[@Tonijo]

@@TheKingsofFrogIsland I agree. I really like your style. And i like the solo and more vocal parts of yours songs too. That's why I just wanted to say I think you can handle it well and could use it more if you like to. I use Tidal btw. So thank you for offering your songs there.
