BOKOR To Release Vermin Soul In October
September 15, 2008, 15 years ago
Scarlet Records has issued the following update on Swedish death/thrashers BOKOR:
After the success of the debut album Anomia 1?, finally the new chapter of the Bokor saga is ready. Vermin Soul is the confirmed title for the new masterpiece, out on October 24th, again on Scarlet Records.
Try to think at a sort of mixture of very unique bands such as TOOL, MASTODON, OPETH, PORCUPINE TREE, ANATHEMA and SYSTEM OF A DOWN and you'?ll get an idea of what Bokor sound like.
New blood, talent, experience and energy came from new drummer Daniel Melo and guitarist Jimmy Larsén.
Reluctantly written, recorded and produced by the band itself at Realtime Recording with the soundcrafting, editing and mixing skills of Daniel Gese. Artwork, guest vocals and inspiring ideas came from the immense talent of Valentin Mellström. Rhodes piano and Hammond once again played by Niclas Kinnander. A directive for the Ghost Stories to end spoken by Marielle Martinz of Misty.
Vermin Soul can be described in very simple words: "More of everything".
In the band's own words: "A frequent question in the interviews for our last record was if it was a theme-album. No, it wasn?t. This album may be. Indeed, all children know where spiders come from. After all, the roaches, rats, mosquitoes and woodlice will survive in the end. And that?s a soothing thought."
