Boss Keloid Sign to Ripple Music; New Album This Summer
Yeah, this makes sense. Following the apparently-rightful implosion of their former label, Holy Roar Records, UK outfit Boss Keloid have inked a deal with Ripple Music with an eye toward wider distribution and, one assumes, reaching an American audience. They will no doubt be greeted as liberators upon the release of their next album this summer, as 2018’s Melted on the Inch (review here) found them further digging into their own niche of heavy, too weird, too purposeful and too much their own to be called anything other than progressive. That continued an evolutionary path set out across 2016’s Herb Your Enthusiasm (review here) and their 2013 debut, The Calming Influence of Teeth.
There’s a trailer for the new album, yet untitled, streaming below that gives a quick snippet of some of the soaring to come. One looks forward to more.
And the PR wire makes it official:
Heavy prog-psych band Boss Keloid sign with Ripple Music
New album anticipated this summer
British heavy prog-psych band Boss Keloid have announced their signing to Ripple Music for the release of their as-yet untitled fifth full-length album in summer 2021.
After earning worldwide acclaimed reviews for Melted On The Inch (2018), Herb Your Enthusiasm (2016) and The Calming Influence of Teeth (2013), Boss Keloid’s notoriety for producing heavy and magnificently multi-layered music has continued to grow. Rising from the stoner/prog underground in the UK, for more than a decade Boss Keloid have produced some of the most mind altering, genre bending music whilst gaining a reputation album on album for never musically standing still.
Now the band are ready to take their next step internationally with their signing to Ripple Music.
Boss Keloid comment: “We are delighted to be signed to Ripple Music for the release of our new album, and grateful to Todd for believing in our music and giving us his backing. We look forward to working with him and joining a fine calibre of bands whose music we’ve enjoyed for many years.”
President/CEO at Ripple Music, Todd Severin adds: “Boss Keloid had long ago established themselves as a tremendous innovator in the heavy underground scene, with a sound unlike any others. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the Ripple family and cannot wait to unveil their latest vision of what heavy music can be.”
Hailed as one of the heavy music world’s most unbelievably stunning experiences, Boss Keloid are a band driven by a burning need to move forward. With the herald of their fifth studio album upon the horizon, fans can expect Boss Keloid’s unique voice to ring loud and clear, transcending labels like stoner, psych and even metal, fully bursting out of any and all classifications, to create something upliftingly fresh and unique.
