Bosnia

Bosnia started in mid 2005 with the intention of being a punk/thrash band. Their style quickly morphed into a combination of crust and doom, with prevalent traces of black metal and stoner rock, while maintaining lyrical themes ranging from leftist politics, to the occult, to conspiracy/paranoia theories. They have shared the stage with national punk and metal acts such as High On Fire, Tragedy, Iron Lung, Kylesa, Gaza, Indian, Facedowninshit, Wolves In The Throneroom, Jucifer, The Holy Mountain, Ringworm, Goatwhore, and Middian.



In 2006 a 5 song demo was recorded and was self released. An unknown amount were made.



In mid 2008, their follow up effort entitled Nazarene Hallucinations was engineered by Ben Romsdahl (of Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire). It included 4 new songs, plus a cover of His Hero Is Gone's "The End Result Of 11 Months In The Mental Hospital".



During the Summer of 2008, the band members seperated with each taking up residence in different states. As part of their last show as a Denver band on June 7th, 2008 a limited "Armageddon Edition" of Nazarene Hallucinations was made, limited to 50 hand numbered copies. In the Spring of 2009, it was officially released to a limited 500 copies on Paradigms Recordings (Jarboe, Amber Asylum) out of London, England. It still awaits it's release to vinyl.



Though the members of Bosnia will be seperated by hundreds of miles, every effort is made to collaborate from between Colorado, Oregon and California and continue on.

"Well the beginning sure sets the tone. hate to use the genre game, but this is angry,oppressive,sludgecore,they get the speed up at times, with that fucking oppressive heavy as holy hell guitar boom. Analogy bands include Eyehategod, Sourvein,.Iron Monkey,and Adolf Satan. That's all that needs to be said,cut and dry,heavy as FUCK." - The Cogency Editorial (thecogencyeditorial.blogspot.com)



"Woozy clean guitar parts wrap around tribal drumming, before launching into a lurching sprawl of blown out doom-ed black buzz, the vocals a monstrous guttural howl, the arrangements complex and a bit mathy, with stretches of lumbering chug bookending chunks of funereal slow motion crawl, leading straight into awesomely tangled obtuse melodic breakdowns, before exploding into raw feral bursts of punkish blackened pound." - Bad Year Media (badyearmedia.blogspot.com)
