Massachusetts based Doom Folk troubadour Buzzard has unveiled lead single “Disunion” taken from his upcoming fourth LP, “Hush Now,” set for release on October 16, 2026.
Stream “Disunion” via the Spotify player below:
Buzzard presents its 4th Doom Folk Metal LP installment “Hush Now,” expanding on the one-man band’s trademark blend of Heavy Fuzz guitar, Americana instrumentation, and socially relevant songwriting. From mellotron to mandolin, Sabbathian riffs to Dylan-esque wordplay, H.P. Lovecraft to Bill Hicks, “Hush Now” is the fullest expression yet of Buzzard’s unique artistic vision.
Following the success of the politically charged 2025 EP “Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright” (expanded to a 10-song LP earlier this year), “Hush Now” broadens its scope. “Disunion” delivers a state of the union address to the void above. “Fireball” is an ode to the music of America. “Knock on the Door” laments the plight of the pawn. “Contaminate, Consume” reveals the purpose of humanity’s finite tenure on Earth.
The 10-track LP has been mastered for vinyl by MixCave Mastering with original art by Indonesian artist Bintang Pratama. As bonus tracks the CD version of “Hush Now” adds the 6 singles released in 2026, including “The Bombing Will Continue Until There’s Peace,” “Cinderella’s Midnight Surprise,” and “Hillbilly Fuckery (Original version),” all remastered for digital in a digipak featuring additional artwork by Doomolith. EP “Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright” will also be released on cassette by Doomshire Tapes on August 7th.
But wait, there’s more! Also coming 10/16 is a 7-inch pressing of “Hillbilly Fuckery (Extended WTF International Choir Version)”, wherein over 50 Buzzard fans contributed recordings of themselves saying, “What the fuck?”
An apocalyptic lullaby for the absurdity that is 2026, “Hush Now” suggests that everything, in fact, is going to be alright. As the album’s penultimate track “Take Comfort” proclaims:
“One fine day, the Sun will burn this wicked world away/I take comfort from the fact the Sun will explode some day.“
