Bosse-de-Nage is an avant-garde black metal band that has steeped its work in an aura of mystery since its inception in the San Francisco Bay Area. Named after a character from the works of the French symbolist Alfred Jarry, the band is known for their blending of intense black metal elements with post-rock and experimental music, creating a distinctive and emotive soundscape. Their lyrics frequently draw from personal reflections and literary influences, and they are noted for their poetic and often opaque storytelling style.

Since their self-titled debut album "Bosse-de-Nage" (2021 Remaster), originally released in 2006, the band has continuously evolved, expanding the boundaries of black metal with each subsequent release. Albums like "III" and "All Fours" have been particularly praised for their intricate compositions and emotional depth, while their more recent work, such as 2018's "Further Still," sees the band refining their sound with razor-sharp precision and dynamic songwriting. Despite retaining a degree of anonymity and shunning the spotlight, Bosse-de-Nage has garnered a dedicated following with their relentless innovation and uncompromising artistic vision. Their music remains a darkly fascinating exploration of the intersections between extreme metal and the avant-garde.
