Debiut BOREAL za dwa miesiące

On October 31st, Nebulae Artifacta and King of the Monsters Records will release a special vinyl version of Boreal's long-brewing debut album, The Battle of VOSAD.

AEF started the Boreal project somewhere around 2003, avoiding the spotlight due to a limited discography and private existence. The Battle of VOSAD was crafted during a time of turbulence in AEF's life, leading to unexpected adventures into the wild. Inspired by the wilderness surrounding him in the Pacific Northwest, AEF would record music intermittently and then drive through some incredibly far-out places in the wilderness, listening to it over and over, leading to dozens of in-progress cassettes. A literal life soundtrack, The Battle of VOSAD evolved with the struggles AEF endured during that time. Surrounded with loss, AEF became homeless, delaying the album further. After he finally landed on his feet again, AEF continued to record the album with borrowed equipment. Upon finishing the album months later, AEF made ten DIY-style CDs in which the packaging was coated with ash from the fires he made in the woods during his period as a vagabond. The CD packaging was coated with ash from the fires he made in the woods during this period of homelessness and adorned with stones from nearby water bodies and twigs he gathered for kindling. The Battle of VOSAD was later released on cassette by Eternal Warfare in 2009.

The Battle of VOSAD will be available on 180-gram red vinyl in a limitation of 300 copies on or around Halloween 2020 through Nebulae Artifacta and King of the Monsters Records.

In the meantime, the album can be streamed in its entirety HERE at Nebulae Artifacta's Bandcamp, where the forthcoming vinyl version can also be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
