Are you familiar with this label called the Flenser? They do a lot of flensing over there. At this point, the Bay Area indie is on a ridiculous run, putting out some of the most vivid and intense heavy underground guitar music that you can possibly find. One band that's been with the Flenser for a long time is Bosse-de-Nage, the veteran San Francisco blackgaze quartet. On Friday, they'll release Hidden Fires Burn Hottest, their first album in eight years. It's some heavy shit.
We've already posted Bosse-de-Nage's early singles "No Such Place" and "In The Name Of The Moth." Today, with the album release looming ever-closer, Bosse-de-Nage have shared "Leviathan," an eight-minute epic that the band has been working on for more than a decade. In a press release, Bryan Manning says, "For years, we believed this song to be cursed. We’ve been arranging and rearranging these riffs since the days of our album All Fours, but the results of our efforts never seemed to live up to the promise we saw in the components. We must have shelved four or five different iterations. Yet, something about these riffs kept drawing us back and in the studio everything finally seemed to come together like magic." Get flensed below.
Hidden Fires Burn Hottest is out 3/6 on The Flenser.
