Based in Aarhus, Denmark, the band BOIL plays an ambitious style of progressive rock and metal that balances on the delicate edge of melodic catchiness, intricacy and complexity. With the 5 members drawing from widely different influences, the unique mixture contains elements of both polyrhythmic modern metal, electronica, grunge and classic rock.
The band formed in 2004 and the debut album "Vessel" was released in January 2007. It received a nomination for Debut Album of the year at Danish Metal Awards 2007. Experimental and complex, the album's dark and moody style drew comparisons to bands like Tool, Alice in Chains and Katatonia. Extensive touring for the album culminated at the Sweden Rock Festival 2008 and the SPOT festival in Denmark a year later.
A testament to the band's diverse, everchanging style and a refusal to be labeled in too narrow a box, the follow-up album "A New Decay" was released in April 2010. As a result of years of hard work, the style had shifted towards a more mature and catchy format with sharper riffs, yet keeping the experimental and progressive edge. While the band took care of the recording and mixing themselves, renowned producer Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Halford, Mnemic) mastered the album. The album received very favorable reviews, including a 6 out of 7 from Metal Hammer.
In the midst of touring in support of "A New Decay", a European booking deal with Dragon Productions (Volbeat, Tyr, Pain of Salvation, Vanden Plas, Moonsorrow) became a reality. Following a lineup change and concerts in the bigger cities in Denmark, Boil began the writing process of their third album; the aptly titled "Axiom".
Produced once again by Tue Madsen at Antfarm, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Facination Street Studios (Soilwork, Symphony X, Devin Townsend), featuring amazing artwork by Travis Smith (Nevermore, Opeth, Katatonia) and backed by Intromental Management (Redemption, Leprous), "Axiom" indicates a venture into more extreme directions, both technically, conceptually, sonically and melodically. Pulling on a wealth of inspirations, from Tool to Katatonia, from Between The Buried And Me to Dream Theater - BOIL 2012 is a completely unique and different beast. It's a band progressing at the speed of light, not content being a follower, but instead aiming at being viewed (rightfully so) as a leader in their genre.

Damn, you guys are really on a roll. I am blown away after only getting halfway through A New Decay. Everyone really should check this out.

As someone who does NOT like Progressive music, I can tell you that Boil really is pretty on par with Leprous with their level of enjoyableness. I really like both bands a lot.
I was hesitant to make the Leprous comparison because the sound is very different, but that was the first band that came to mind when I heard Boil.

Yeah, you guys are killing it of late. This tune sure caught my attention, and that stuff from In The Silence is excellent as well.
