Summary

buffalo_farm was born from a nightmare, and forged into a dream. Night after night, he was haunted by the same nightmare. In his sleep, he found himself locked in a cage on a Buffalo Farm, forced to watch as his loved ones were brutally fed to Bison. The nightmare repeated endlessly, each time more vivid than the last. Not knowing whether his nightmares were dreams or reality, The Buffalo Farm Killer was born upon his murder of the buffalo farmer with a pitchfork, and his timely escape. The story gives rise to buffalo_farm, a trap-metal entity that thrives in the chaos between rap and metal. His sound is raw and violent yet hypnotic, equal parts aggression and catharsis, pulling listeners into the same nightmare that birthed him. But what makes him truly unique is the contrast beneath the rage, his voice often soars in an angelic, almost ethereal way, creating a haunting beauty against the backdrop of brutality. Every track is an echo of blood-soaked visions, and every show a demonstration of the horrors he’s lived. Will you join the journey of the Buffalo Farm Killer?
