Bosse-de-Nage is an American
black metal band, formed in
San Francisco,
California. The band features four anonymous members. Considered as a part of the
blackgaze scene, the band performs an experimental black metal style that draws from
post-rock,
shoegaze,
post-hardcore,
screamo, and
indie rock, with influences from
Slint,
Mogwai, and
Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Allmusic critic Gregory Heaney wrote that the band "crafts a sound that's as comfortable expanding outward as it is contracting into a suffocating mass of needling guitars and frantic drumming." The band's lyrics touch upon various subjects, such as sex, filth, bodies, perversion, and death.
