BOSSK
BOSSK has always been something of an enigma. Formed in 2005, their output for the first decade of their on-off existence consisted of a handful of EP's and split
releases alongside a smattering of live shows. Life can take precedence over art and it wasn't until 2016's stunning 'Audio Noir' that it felt like Bossk had truly arrived. This
was a band brewed inside metal's avant-garde awakening propelled by labels like Hydra Head and Neurot; that their long-awaited debut album landed on Deathwish
was no coincidence.
The connection with the likes of Neurosis and Converge are easy to make but less straightforward to hold tight. Cult of Luna's Johannes Persson guesting on new
album 'Migration' perhaps comes as no surprise; but to pigeonhole Bossk so easily as post-metal in the slipstream would be a disservice to the depths they've
clearly ploughed and defined for themselves.
Both 'Audio Noir' and 'Migration' display unique atmospheric qualities; ambience is not a term unfamiliar to the band and they are admirably unafraid to experiment.
They crush as heavily as any of their peers and do so in a manner distinctly theirs. Rare live appearances at Roadburn and a near-complete sell out UK tour in 2021
have only enhanced their reputation. Bossk in 2022 has well and truly arrived on a landscape welcoming it with open arms and ears
