BOIL

Based in Aarhus, Denmark, the progrock band Boil plays an ambitious style of progressive rock and metal that balances on the delicate edge of melodic catchiness, intricacy and complexity. With the 5 members drawing from widely different influences, the unique mixture contains elements of both polyrhythmic modern metal, electronica, grunge and classic rock.
The band formed in 2004 and the debut album Vessel was released in January 2007. It received a nomination for Debut Album of the year at Danish Metal Awards 2007. Experimental and complex, the album's dark and moody style drew comparisons to bands like Tool, Alice in Chains and Katatonia. Extensive touring for the album culminated at the Sweden Rock Festival 2008 and the SPOT festival in Denmark a year later.
A testament to the band's diverse, everchanging style and a refusal to be labeled in too narrow a box, the follow-up album A New Decay was released in April 2010. As a result of years of hard work, the style had shifted towards a more mature and catchy format with sharper riffs, yet keeping the experimental and progressive edge. While the band took care of the recording and mixing themselves, renowned producer Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Halford, Mnemic) mastered the album. The album generally received very favorable reviews, including a 6 out of 7 from Metal Hammer.
In the midst of touring in support of A New Decay, a new booking deal with Dragon Productions (Volbeat, Tyr, Pain of Salvation, Vanden Plas, Moonsorrow) became a reality. Following a lineup change and concerts in the bigger cities in Denmark, Boil is currently hard at work with the writing process of their third album. Preliminary demos indicate a venture into more extreme directions, both technically, sonically and melodically.
