Artist Biography
Available in:

Bölzer are a Swiss extreme metal band from Zurich, formed in 2008. The band have said that the meaning behind the name is "a powerful force or blow or strike that has no regard for the consequences or the repercussions. And in that sense it’s not directed either, it’s just a chaotic strike of energy…. a force of chaos, and a force of life and death and anything." To date they have released three EPs, and their debut studio full-length album Hero was released on November 25, 2016 on Iron Bonehead Productions. The band's 2013 EP Aura generated substantial acclaim from music critics and metal fans. It has been frequently described as one of the best metal releases of 2013 by sites such as NPR Music and Stereogum, despite its brief length. NPR have described the band as "one of 2014’s biggest extreme metal success stories." The success of the EP gained them slots at major music festivals including Maryland Deathfest 2014 and North of the Wall 2015 in Glasgow, and they have been described as "Switzerland’s finest death metal duo of recent history".
