Buzzoven (typeset Buzzov•en) is a sludge metal band from North Carolina, formed in 1989 by the remaining members of Sewer Puppet. The band was known for being one of the founders of the sludge genre (after Eyehategod), 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 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 now heads sludge bands Weedeater and Ramsey has gone on to join fellow sludgers Sourvein.
In early 2010 Buzzoven announced plans to reunite with the …At a Loss line-up for a five date U.S. tour. It's unknown if they will produce any new material.
