![]() ![]() ![]() According to vocalist Fred Durst, Borland only agreed to return to the band on the condition that their label, Geffen, agreed to support his solo project, Black Light Burns. The main difference this time around being that Borland has taken vocals into his own hands, after many attempts to find a proper vocalist in various projects.Īfter the 'failure' of Borland's various projects, he returned to Limp Bizkit once again, turning down the spot as Nine Inch Nails touring guitar player. In terms of their lineup, the band is somewhat of a successor to the brief project The Damning Well, which consisted of mostly the same members. Borland became self-absorbed, and along with continuous pressure from the label, and struggles finding a lead singer for the band, the project eventually disbanded. Eat The Day eventually unravelled itself, as, in Borland's words, "I think everybody involved in that project had different ideas about the direction that it should go". Borland soon found out this wasn't the case. With this project, he became cocky, and thought because of his previous success with Limp Bizkit, duplicating that success with a new band would be simple. The first of which was supposed to be an instrumental album one could listen to and simply relax. After he quit the band, he began working on several different projects. Borland didn't take the project too seriously, and used it to basically test the waters, and see how hard it would be to do something serious on his own, without the aid of his band mates. Things began with Big Dumb Face, a solo project that Borland had worked on during his time with Limp Bizkit. Their debut album, Cruel Melody, was released in early 2007.īorland states that Black Light Burns is the culmination of the various projects he has been working on ever since he quit Limp Bizkit in 2001. The band's recording lineup consists of Borland himself, along with Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), Josh Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), and Josh Freese (The Vandals, A Perfect Circle,Nine Inch Nails,Devo). For fans wondering if Borland would truly commit long-term to the band, he has confirmed that a second album was nearly halfway penned right around the release of Cruel Melody.Black Light Burns is an American alternative / hard rock band from California with industrial and gothic aspects, created by Wes Borland. With Lohner supplying bass, Joshua Eustis playing keyboards, and studio vet Josh Freese keeping the beat, Black Light Burns recorded what was to become the group’s debut full-length, 2007’s Cruel Melody.īut with none of the other contributors willing to commit to touring in support of the album, Borland enlisted the aid of a whole new supporting cast for the road – including second guitarist Nick Annis, bassist Sean Fetterman and drummer Marshall Kilpatric. While some of the material had been demoed years earlier, it wasn’t until Borland decided that he was going to pull double duty as the band’s lead vocalist – and the enlistment of former Nine Inch Nails member Danny Lohner – that the project came to life. No stranger to oddball side projects, Borland also sought something a bit more permanent, which led to the formation of Black Light Burns. But upon his second exit from the band, Borland looked for his next project to be more musically varied, quirky, and unpredictable. Guitarist Wes Borland will perhaps forever be best known as a member of one of the more predictable, one-dimensional hard rock bands of the late '90s and early 21st century, Limp Bizkit. ![]()
