Box: Ever-changing, all-encompassing exploration of soundscapes.

Rema 1000 from Norway, which sells groceries, claims that simplicity is the best, and the band Box has chosen a reasonably simple band name.

Cherry Blossoms At Night is the new album from Box from Oregon. Box is excited to announce their new album Cherry Blossoms at Night. For fans of the experimental and avant garde, Cherry Blossoms At Night is a fully immersive album that leaves no soundscape untouched.

Box doesn’t simply breakdown genre boundaries but rather obliterates them from existence by fusing powerful styles into an ever-changing, all-encompassing exploration of soundscapes. Ranging between obliterating thrash metal through to dynamic prog and darkwave, Box leaves no musical realm untouched.

Cherry Blossoms at Night sees the project’s mastermind Andrew Stromstad delve deeper into the creative dimensions. Thundering into life, the album kicks off with the dark intensity of Succumb Fast paced with a thrash edge, guttural harsh vocals deliver an aggressive stance. The gentle allure of Soft Is The Motion reveals an alternative air unveiling the serene through a vast atmosphere. Bringing the 80s into the present kicking and screaming,

Lifetaker sends sparks flying through glam style organ and electronics. Soaring vocals and intricate melodies introduce melodic and progressive elements into the mix. The final destination is reached through the dreamy atmosphere of Liberate. Drawing the focus with a clean lead guitar melody the track winds its way around shimmering synth pads, trap drums and angelic vocal harmonies. The tranquillity can’t last forever and before long the lofty ascent to the heavens is brought crashing down with a stark reminder of mortality.

The hybridization of genres from Box has produced an epic record in Cherry Blossoms At Night. While an unwavering dark undertone runs throughout, each track is immersive in its own way. From the hard-hitting heaviness to soaring atmospheric electronics, Cherry Blossoms At Night offers a thrilling journey into the abyss and beyond.

Lyrics on  Succumb,

i’ve seen your kind in the valley of death

covered in a shroud, damp and cold

carrion of others lie before us

soon we will succumb

succumb

to the rites of the dark

succumb

for the balance of life

succumb

for the fauna that hunger

succumb

die

succumb

for the flora that thirst

succumb

to the air that shrieks

succumb

that hollers in pain

succumb

the world is a mass grave

where life incubates

only to be sucked back down

within dirt, assimilate

knocking on death’s door

sometimes she answers back

and you wake up in a haze

succumb

succumb

to the rites of the dark

succumb

for the balance of life

succumb

for the fauna that hunger

succumb

succumb

for the flora that thirst

succumb

to the air that shrieks

succumb

that hollars in pain
