It wasn’t until yesterday when he dropped his latest single “Slugz VIP” that we understood the significance of it all. The News? The Slugz Army has officially fallen to the Frogz. Snails has declared this an emergency, with evacuation on the horizon. So what can we do?
Listen to the new track on repeat, it seems. And to prove that the Frogz have really taken over, the song opens up with commentary that commands you to “bow down to the king” and then hits you hard with his signature frog bass sound that can be heard on tracks like “Frogbass.” It’s definitely equal parts funky as it is filthy, making myself and the fellow vomitsquad members go crazy.
The track alludes that something bigger could easily be on the horizon. And let’s not forget, we’re just a few months away from his Sluggtopia festival at Red Rocks Ampitheater in Denver with friends NGHTMRE & Joyryde. We’ll keep you tuned in for any other announcements or secret messages the King of Vomit has for his fans as they develop.
Snails’ Whole Universe Was Built On Bits Like This
This kind of elaborate, in-character lore-building became a huge part of what made Snails such a fun artist to follow. The “vomitstep” aesthetic, the Frogz vs. Slugz mythology, the King of Vomit persona – it was all part of a bigger world he kept expanding release after release, giving fans something to dig into beyond just the music itself. That level of world-building is rare in bass music, where most artists stick to straightforward single rollouts.
Sluggtopia went on to become a recurring event in Snails’ touring calendar too, growing from a one-off Red Rocks show into a fixture fans looked forward to every year. Between the mythology, the festival, and a catalog full of tracks that lean fully into the bit, Snails carved out one of the more distinct and playful identities in the scene – not bad for a guy whose whole thing is themed around slime.
