BIIPIIGWAN are a sludge metal band from Ontario, Canada. Born in the late 2000s their aggressive and abrasive, yet sometimes slow and heavy music blends elements of doom, and grind. The band would put out four releases since their formation, namely two demo albums (2008's Biipiigwan and 2010's God's Hooks), the 2012 EP Nibaak and a studio album in 2013 entitled Something for Everyone; Nothing for Anyone. By the release of God's Hooks the band would begin touring more frequently, namely Canada, the United States and Europe.
The band's socials have been inactive since 2018, leaving the band's status unknown.
