Damaged Bug, the project of Osees’ John Dwyer, has announced his new album ZUZAX, available March 20th via Deathgod Records. Along with the news. they have shared lead single “End of The War”. ZUZAX is Damaged Bug’s first release since their 2020 LP Bug On Yonkers, and was recorded in sessions over seven years.

From John Dwyer:

“40 or so Damaged Bug tunes from the past seven years were orphaned / unfinished, which is pretty rare for me. I just kept having other things going on & life kept getting in the way. And frankly, the songs were all over the place so I didn’t see a thread in there, but in light of current events in the world, I feel like It’s every artist’s calling to construct personal messages cloaked in moments of escapism. That’s what this record is for me–something to clear the decks a little bit in my studio, relax my mind, and keep the wolf from the door. It’s a bit of a joyous/sad record dealing with hope and forgiveness, two things which I hope end up more in my life.

It’s abstract and poppy, fried and sugary.

It exactly how I feel at the moment fried and skewed.

Good luck out there and I hope this turns off the torrent for you, for a moment.”
