In 2004 their debut album was released through Casket Records - the spiritual home of some of the most well known underground metal bands in the UK. January 2006 began the process of recording their follow up album "Written Ignition". An album which will show a much harder and energetic side of Bohica to the world. "It wasn't a conscious decision, simply a natural progression after 'No Apologies'" states James. In fact the writing process continued after the first album was released and the band wrote twice as many songs than appear on the new album choosing to be more selective this time around.
"The most obvious thing to us is that we've pushed ourselves 10 times harder on this album with our writing and our performances" declares Eng Wei gratifyingly. "We're so much prouder and happier with this album and can't wait for people to hear it".
It was a dream come true having the album finalised by legendary Mastering Engineer Eddy Schreyer in his Californian studio, as he had previously worked on some of the bands favourite albums of all time.
With the release of "Written Ignition" in July 2007 it will reinforce Bohica as one of the UKs top modern metal bands.

"This Guildford-based four-piece outfit are steadily building a reputation as one of Britain's most promising alt-rock bands. Their second release brilliantly combines the anthemic heavy riffs of US bands like QOTSA with the grit and aggression of classic British punk. The hard work they put into their live gigs shows in their studio music; they bring that sense of relentlessness with them - check out "Chokehold (Through My Eyes)". 'Written Ignition' is packed with potential hardcore gems. There is a sense of melody and commercial appeal too, so these guys know where they want to go and it's not the bargain bin! There is also a bonus DVD of music videos." – Neil Daniels - Rocksound Magazine

"Guildford's very own post-hardcore nu-metal bohican behemoth beat the Live & Loud bar into shape on the last weekend of June. Bohica is the band that never sleeps. They're always gigging, always touring, always writing...but they certainly don't let this tire them out, as proven at this simply electric gig. Judging by the crowd, the bands following is still healthy and still growing. The band have awesome stage presence, almost making the Live and Loud bar seem a little small for them." – DV8 Magazine

"Nu metal – just when you begin to wonder what reason remains for its very existence, up pops a band who actually make a decent fist of it. Bohica produce some passion-filled, crisp and melodious songs, rhythms so bouncy your mum could do aerobics to them and energy so prominent she’d drop dead of a heart attack if she tried." – Eddie Thomas - subba-cultcha

"'An Open Book' lays down the blueprint and Bohica are up there with Machine Head and Avenged Sevenfold - melodic metal of the highest order. 'Chokehold' sounds like an outtake from Trivium's debut album and it has a compulsive metal riff that would have even the most hardened ancient hack reaching for the smelling salts. Bohica make a compelling noise and they deserve your attention." – Get Ready to Rock

"Without doubt, 'Written Ignition' from the excellent Bohica is a pretty magnificent and damn cool piece of work. Sitting squarely astride several aspects of contemporary rock, it's a totally polished, head-bangin' album that just begs to be heard." – Toxic Pete
