# Buzzov•en

**Buzzov•en** is a sludge metal band, from United States, active 1989 to present.

Buzzoven is an American sludge metal band from Salisbury, North Carolina, formed in 1990. The band was known for being one of the founders of the sludge genre along with Louisiana's Eyehategod and Acid Bath, 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). The band was later dropped by Roadrunner. 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.
