The progressive hardrock band BOIL could very well become Denmark's next major music export.
When forming in Ã…rhus(Denmark) in 2004, BOIL set out on a musical journey to develop a new fusion of metal, grunge and progressive rock that would take the stagnate music scene by storm.
After the first year of existence, immense rehearsing and the recording of a few demos, BOIL entered the studio in July 2005 to begin recording the nine songs that would become their debut album “Vesselâ€.
VESSEL was released on January 10th 2007 and following the release, BOIL played several successful concerts to promote the album. VESSEL was received with impressive reviews - nationally as well as internationally - and it earned the band a nomination in the 'Debut Album of the Year' category at the DANISH METAL AWARDS 2007...
BOIL’s ancestry can be traced back to older icons such as Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Tool, but there are no signs of metal fatigue in the five-piece band, which has already come a long way since the first chords were struck back in 2004.
After a year of playing liveshows to promote the debut album BOIL entered the studio once again in November 2007 to record the new single CLARITY, which was released in February 2008. It contains two brand-new tracks "Hypersomnia" and "Clarity".
BOIL’s musical expression is still rooted in progressive rock, metal, and the heavier grunge of the early 90s – but with CLARITY, BOIL is heading in a much more personal and dark direction.
In February 2008, BOIL was chosen - among over 2500 other rock bands – as the opening act at Sweden Rock Festival 2008. In 2008, the festival, which takes place from June 4-7, has as prominent names as Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Testament, Disturbed, and Volbeat (to name but a few!) on the roster – plus 30.000 paying guests.
BOIL is warming up for this big bang of a festival with several concerts in Denmark and finish writing material for the next album.
