Big Dumb Face

Big Dumb Face is a musical project founded by Wes Borland, best known as the guitarist of Limp Bizkit. The band was formed in 1998 and is notable for its eclectic and humorous style, blending elements of metal, grindcore, and playful nursery rhyme-like elements. Their debut album, *Duke Lion Fights The Terror!!*, released in 2001, is a testament to this unique blend, featuring tracks like *Mighty Penis Laser* and showcasing a wide range of vocal styles from death metal growls to falsetto. The album was a commercial experiment, aiming to see how far Borland could push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in mainstream music. In 2017, Big Dumb Face released a second album, *Where Is Duke Lion? He's Dead…*, described by Borland as his most metal work to date.

Big Dumb Face's music is characterized by its absurdity and playfulness, reflecting Borland's desire to explore different creative avenues outside of Limp Bizkit. The project has been praised for its originality and humor, even if it didn't resonate with all fans of Borland's other work. Despite its unconventional nature, Big Dumb Face has maintained a loyal following and remains an interesting footnote in the career of one of rock's most versatile and eccentric musicians.
