Featuring new artwork by photographer Dylan Hausthor, the long-awaited reissue breathes new life into an essential early collaboration between two acclaimed Bay Area metal bands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormed in 2006, Bosse-de-Nage first encountered Deafheaven at one of the latter’s earliest shows, held at a now-defunct art gallery in San Francisco’s Mission District. Deafheaven’s demo had just begun making a splash online. “Their performance was amazing; it was clear right away that they were a force to be reckoned with,” Bosse-de-Nage recalls. At a time before blackgaze and post-black metal had fully cohered into recognizable movements, the bands recognized something familiar in one another. They began playing shows together and formed a friendship that has endured ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exact genesis of Split has been lost to time. Arriving just over a year after Deafheaven’s 2011 debut Roads to Judah, neither band can remember who first proposed the collaboration, only that the idea made immediate sense. Deafheaven contributed a cover of Mogwai’s “Punk Rock \/ Cody,” while Bosse-de-Nage contributed the original “A Mimesis of Purpose,” which marked their first collaboration with Astrid J. Smith, arranging and performing strings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased by The Flenser in 2012, Split became an early milestone for the label and both bands. “We’ve been looking forward to this project for a while,” Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke said at the time. “It’s very exciting to be working with two of the most innovative and forward-thinking staples in the Bay Area, Bosse-de-Nage and Flenser Records.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter years out of print, both bands chose to revisit their contributions rather than simply repress the original release.
