deletedunknown Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Bossk join the Deathwish Family, "Pick Up Artist" EP out soonBossk are an atmospheric post-everything band from Ashford, Kent, England.The band released four promising recordings ("1", "2", the "3" DVD, and a split EP w/ Rinoa) on their own Eyes Of Sound label before taking temporary hiatus in 2008. After four years of dormancy, Bossk awoke from their slumber collectively inspired to create in 2012. The band soon performed at UK's Damnation Festival In the Fall of 2012, and entered the studio to record the "Pick Up Artist". A seven minute textural epic that is crushingly heavy and uniquely melodic. Crashing forward in two unique movements, "Pick Up Artist" has a hypnotic ebb and flow that carries Bossk past obvious influences (Isis, Neurosis, etc.) as they expand into new uncharted territory. The song was released to the public via free download in the Fall of 2012 to critical acclaim. In 2013, Bossk completed a UK Tour (their first in four years) with Dragged Into Sunlight. The band also managed to enter the studio to record a version of Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross". A beautiful track that allows Bossk to explore the more serene peaks and valleys of their ever evolving sound. Deathwish are proud to announce a limited vinyl release of these two spectacular songs as one 7"EP. Pre-ordering information will be announced sometime soon. Bossk plans to spend the rest of the year crafting a new album and playing select dates. I didn't even know Bossk were still around. Really good post-metal band. celebdeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I didn't even know Bossk were still around. Really good post-metal band. Absolutely! Yeah, these guys are great. If yr into yr long, meditative, slowly-rising-to-ripping-yer-fecking-head-off crescendos, then Bossk are for you. No need to too much in the way of vocals. They are sporadically present, but really they are more akin to an instrumental outfit with a few heavy vox here and there. this is an essential record to own: http://www.discogs.com/Bossk-1-2/master/328710 Will definitely be grabbing that 7". Please keep the thread alive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'll order this. I'm not familiar with the band, but I don't mind shelling out a few bucks for a 7" on a label I trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celebdeath Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 From Bossk: 2nd September 2013 It has been a busy few weeks. Amazing shows for us at Bloodstock, ArcTanGent and in Birmingham. Thanks to all that made these some of the best shows we have played as a band ever. Very happy to announce that we will be releasing a 7" on the legendary Deathwish label. Proud to be working with a label that understands how bands like ours operate, and that stands behind the same principles that we do. Exciting things ahead. The 7" will feature Pick Up Artist and a cover of Fleetwood Macs classic Albatross. Will be released by the end of 2013. Artwork is going to be by our good friend Dan P Carter. Album writing is in full swing. We can't wait to record the music we have written, it's looking like our best material we have written as a band. More news soon. New Merch available soon, along with an exclusive shirt for the Deathwish Store. Last shows of this year are in Holland, our first visit to the Netherlands since 2007. Playing with the great Atlantis, who have been friends of ours for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amnstypls Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Those of you who are getting shipping notifications, did you order Self Defense Family with it as well? Doubt it. I ordered both right when they went up. No notice here. This band is awesome. Bought it just because it was DW, but I really am growing to love this band.

radiatorhums Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 got my shipping notification, and no SDF with it. They had the same estimated ship date and the wishful thinker in me was hoping I would get a notification too (I ordered both). Thanks for the responses!
