London-based instrumental doom metal band BOREHEAD recently announced their signing to Octopus Rising, and today they unveil the full details of their upcoming album along with a new single. Titled “Vita est Morte est Vita”, the album will be released on CD, vinyl, and digital formats on November 29th via Octopus Rising.
Vita est Morte est Vita is the band’s debut full-length; recorded, mixed, and mastered by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio, London. The four tracks of the album are a dynamic and richly textured journey through the human psyche – inviting the listener to Discover, Enter, Understand, and Become.
In addition to the cover artwork by the band’s own Stuart Hodgkinson, each track is accompanied by individual artworks by Steve Burns, Justin Fink, Eduardo Canalejo, and Lauren McIvor. Vinyl purchases of the album will come with physical postcards of all four artworks (while stocks last).
The album tracklisting and cover art are as follows:
1. Estate
2. Circadian
3. Zoonosis
4. Macadamia
The new single, entitled ‘Macadamia’, is now streaming on YouTube:
“Having been born into this strange life we must accept the wasted gamble of our days and take some satisfaction in the pleasure of leaving it all behind”
Band comments on ‘Macadamia’:
“The comfortable intertwined with the unfamiliar. That’s what this track is really about. We wanted to take simple and catchy grooves, but then fuck them up a little to challenge both the listener, and also us as players. The journey from the serene intro to the crushing outro, to us, defines the idea of personal and spiritual growth – immersion in the unfamiliar until it becomes a part of you.
On top of that, Lauren McIvor’s stunning artwork represents everything this track is. Colourful. Twisted. Intriguing.”
Borehead are an instrumental three-piece, based in South London, UK. Formed in 2019, the band have been peddling their psych-tinged doom over the UK, having released two EPs, 0001 and 0002.
The band melds thick, rich fuzz with heavy grooves, thunderous riffs, and enthralling soundscapes.
Their live shows transport you to the very darkest reaches of your mind, then drag you back out again, baptised in volume.
Borehead is:
Mike – Guitars
Stuart – Bass
Richard – Drums
