Brian HillBuddy Apostolis "Buzzov*en" was a
sludge metal band fromNorth Carolina , formed in 1989 by the remaining members ofSewer Puppet by guitarist/vocalist Kirk Fisher (often credited on releases as "Reverend Dirtkicker"). The band was known for being one of the founders of the sludge genre (afterEyehategod ), and also for their out-of-control and violent live shows. The band in its early days toured heavily around theUnited States and built up a cult following leading up to the release of their first full-length, "To a Frown ", in 1993, which caught the attention ofRoadrunner Records , who released the band's second album "Sore" in 1994. The band was dropped by Roadrunner, and from then on have gone through several periods of being split-up and reformed, with the only constant member having been Kirk Fisher. Dave Collins who now heads sludge legends Weedeater and Ramsey has gone on to join fellow sludgers Sourvein.Discography
