"The sow meets a frog... sounds like the beginning of a joke, but the project HOG MEETS FROG is anything but a joke, since the funk metallers from Austria are thoroughbred musicians. Their new work will be released in mid-February under the title "humanIMALization", whereby the Viennese deal with current political and social issues in a fabulous animal story... If the song titles like Apes don't smoke cigars, just pipes are very funny, the musical aspects are of very high quality and definitely not "suitable for a headband". Sure, funk is not a run-of-the-mill genre to sing along to, but sophisticated music at the highest level. So to speak, jazz music of the metal species. One can clearly register the inspiration of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Primus and Co. on this record, whereby the songs transport positive energy. Conclusion: Intoxicating and exciting songs that will delight fans of the genre mentioned above." - Rock Magazine
