In 2008, the band self-released its fourth studio album titled Hate Ashbury[3] and a collaborative EP with Winters in Osaka.[4] This was followed by the band self-releasing their album Satan Worshipping Doom in 2010.
In 2013, Bongripper released two split EPs via Great Barrier Records; one with Hate and another with Conan.[5]
In 2014, the band released their sixth studio album, titled Miserable, via Great Barrier Records.[6]
