About the artist

Boss Keloid

With their infectious blend of sludgy riffs, proggy time signatures, and a dash of psychedelic flair, Boss Keloid are a force to be reckoned with in the heavy music scene. Hailing from Wigan, this five-piece band has been making waves since their formation in 2010, drawing comparisons to the likes of Mastodon, Baroness, and Tool. Led by frontman Alex Hurst's commanding vocals, Boss Keloid's music is a sonic assault on the senses, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table. Guitarists Paul Swarbrick and Joe Birch weave intricate melodies and heavy riffs, while bassist Liam Pendlebury and drummer Stephen Arands hold down the fort with their tight rhythms and dynamic playing. Their latest album, "Family the Smiling Thrush," is a masterclass in modern progressive metal, with songs like "Tarku Shavel" and "Peykruve" showcasing the band's ability to seamlessly blend crushing heaviness with moments of ethereal beauty. The album has received critical acclaim from both fans and critics alike, cementing Boss Keloid's status as one of the most exciting bands in the UK underground scene. But it's not just their music that sets Boss Keloid apart – it's their live shows that truly elevate them to a whole new level. With a stage presence that is equal parts intense and playful, the band creates a sense of camaraderie with their audience that is rare to find in the metal scene. So, if you're looking for a band that pushes the boundaries of heavy music while still having a damn good time, look no further than Boss Keloid.
