History

In 2006 Bongripper self-released their first album titled The Great Barrier Reefer,[1] which is composed of a single 79-minute piece created with the intention of being longer than Sleep's Dopesmoker. In 2007, the band self-released their second studio album titled Hippie Killer[1] and their third studio album titled Heroin. In 2008, the band self-released its fourth studio album titled Hate Ashbury[2] and a collaborative EP with Winters in Osaka.[3] This was followed by the band self-releasing their album Satan Worshipping Doom in 2010.

In 2013, Bongripper released two split EPs via Great Barrier Records; one with Hate and another one with Conan.[4]

In 2014, the band released their sixth studio album titled Miserable via Great Barrier Records.[5]

Their seventh album titled Terminal was released on July 6, 2018.[6]

In May 2020, the band released Glaciers, an EP recorded in 2009 and left unreleased for 11 years.[7]
