After a 7 year silience, Bionatops has released a new song entitled “The Adventures Of Swamp Dog & Stelly B.” The song sees Bionatops multi-instrumentalist frontman Joseph Spiller (Caricature, Too Late The Hero, System Divide, Black Heart Sutra) joined by drummer Billy Rymer (Dillinger Escape Plan, Atomic Life, Thoughtcrimes)
The song is a tribute to Spiller’s late dog Stella (Sept 2010 – Feb 2025) done lovingly in the absurdist avant metal & rock style of Bionatops and features recordings of Stella and her brother Eli, aka Swamp Dog, embedded in the song’s bridge.
“Stella was the absolute best and there is nothing that could replace her friendship. Going out hiking, to the beach, and splashing around in the water with Eli was her favorite so we put that into a song that hopefully is as fun as the adventures I got to have with Stella,” said Spiller
The song is currently streaming on all platforms including Spotify, and a visualizer can be viewed here.
This is the first Bionatops release since the 2017 album Voices (out on Nefarious Industries). More music to come far sooner than later.
