Doom/sludge powerhouse Boson deliver in spades when it comes to heaviness on their new album, Domain of Ember, and new song “Mass of the Phoenix,” which features Gatecreeper’s Chase Mason. Rather than tell you that the Arizona death metal frontman is a stellar fit with Boson, we let the band tell you themselves.
“I was reading The Book of Lies at the time and came across this ritual that involved the participant eating what was called “The Cake of Light”. The cake included bodily fluids and required the participant to cut their chest and use their own blood as one of the ingredients. From a lyrical standpoint, I used the ritual as sort of a meditation of releasing negative emotions in the darkest and most vile way possible. This particular ritual seemed to be the most appropriate vessel.
