Buzzoven (typeset Buzzov•en) is an American sludge metal band from Salisbury, North Carolina, formed in 1990.^[1] The band was known for being one of the founders of the sludge genre along with Louisiana's Eyehategod and Acid Bath,^[2] and also for their out-of-control and violent live shows. The band in its early days toured heavily around the United States and built up a cult following leading up to the release of their debut album, To a Frown (1993), which caught the attention of Roadrunner Records, who released the band's second album Sore (1994).^[3] The band was later dropped by Roadrunner.^[4] From then on, the band has gone through several periods of being split-up and reformed. The only constant member during this time has been Kirk Fisher. In 2018, the band toured the Southern US as one of the opening acts for Eyehategod.^[5]
