Little is known about Bay Area enigma Bosse-De-Nage, since the band rarely plays live, doesn’t disclose its membership, or partake in promotional activities like interviews or promo photos. Nonetheless, the four-piece has a solid and distinct repertoire at their disposal. A cassette demo (released by Aesop Dekker of Agalloch / Worm Ouroboros / Ludicra fame) and two full-length albums (on Flenser Records) have made an impression within the underground, and the band’s vitriolic mix of minimal black metal, indie rock and post-punk has garnered reviews describing them as a black metal version of the legendary Slint. Their latest album and first for Profound Lore, titled simply III, is the most sophisticated and introspective Bosse-De-Nage release to date—one of the most powerful collisions of indie rock and black metal you’ll hear this year.
