Switzerland's BÖLZER are one of the most unique entities the death metal underground has birthed in years. Last year, the duo unleashed the Aura MLP, and it became one of the most critically acclaimed metal records of 2013. BÖLZER continued their ascent with live performances that are now spoken of in reverential tones, capped off by two utterly devastating performances at this year's Maryland Deathfest. At long last, they release the massively anticipated Soma EP. Soma consists of two odes to the goddess Luna, set amidst a thematic backdrop of war and the surrender of the fleshly temple. The tonal and conceptual qualities will contrast the themes of spiritual birth and phallic solar worship offered on Aura, ultimately perpetuating the cyclical struggle of energies. BÖLZER accomplish this musically with molten metal even more daring and diabolical, more harnessed and hysteric, than the mighty Aura. And their ascent continues... Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
