Billy Boy in Poison from Copenhagen offers an aggressive but very diverse take on death metal with a lot of melodic elements, memorable choruses and even some classic metalcore vibes. Strong songwriting combines with the obvious skill and wide range of the vocal performance to create a sometimes catchy, sometimes brutal, but always insistent sound.
Billy Boy in Poison is now taking the next step up with third album UMBRA. Debuting in 2013 with Watchers (“Death metal album of the year”, Powermetal.de) and following up in 2017 with the acclaimed Invoker ("One of the strongest underground bands of their generation", Metal Temple), the newest release from the Danish band showcases a stronger focus on songwriting and memorability. Produced by Chris Kreutzfeldt (MØL, Cabal, Ghost Iris), UMBRA has a modern and driving soundscape.
Billy Boy in Poison is very much a part of the strongly developing Danish modern metal scene, which has spawned many great bands and albums in recent years. The band has performed at several national festivals, supported acts like Aborted and Vildhjarta and toured abroad multiple times. With UMBRA, the band is now ready to reach for the next level.
