But, as this is Wes Borland we're talking about here, The Moment You Realize You're Going To Fall dusts off the hipsters, keeping only its core fanbase and lovers of this type of genre. It's also worth mentioning that Black Light Burns is a very self-indulgent project: 2007's debut was a very straight forward industrial rock album, filled to the brim with ear pleasing melody and hard rocking instrumentation that showed a lot of promise to the mainstream collective. Made even more frustrating is the simple fact all the bands back catalogue ranges from interesting to amazing. I am somewhat a fervent admirer of this project having only released three LP's and an experimental covers/B-sides compilation (complete with BLB on the road DVD), they have hardly overstayed their welcome.

For those that have never heard of Wes' once full-time day job, Black Light Burns is a chaotic fuse of industrial and stoner rock, with outbursts of various other influences, but for the most part, think Nine Inch Nails having a brawl with Queens of the Stone Age. With Wes focusing on his latest project, with his partner Carre Callaway, Queen Kwong and with Limp Bizkit still doing the rounds, there seems to be little time for anything else. It seems an unfortunate waste to hear the chances of a new Black Light Burns LP landing are slim to none.

A very strong performance on UK shores for Borland and co, then.Review Summary: No compromises with Black Light Burns second full length album. There was time to even fit in some new songs like “Good To Be Gold’, which is set to be a fan-favourite. A lot of the rest of the set comes from the last album, including ‘We Light Up’ and ‘Splayed’.

Most loved are the quirky covers that the band has released with the album ‘Cover Your Heart…’ Both ‘Lucretia My Reflection’ (by The Sisters of Mercy) and ‘So Alive’ (by Love & Rockets) are blasted out much to the crowd’s delight. “This is a taster for fans of both acts and hopefully when we return next year their will be twice as much interest!” “As this is our first tour of Europe, we know that there will be a lot of Limp Bizkit fans wanting to know what I’m up to” says Wes in an interview with us before the show. In a jesting-style slagging match, he rips on the lighting crew saying that “the lights smell like grilled cheese sandwiches”! They push onward however, playing pieces from both albums and seque releases. In true Borland style though, he manages to make it work to his advantage. Wes has already been having trouble with the amps and after the under-rated but much loved ‘Stop A Bullet’ opens the set, he decides that there wasn’t enough light on neither the band or the audience. Business as usual and a top performance from the lad.Īs Black Light Burns arrives on stage, the room knows that they are going to have a tough time of it tonight, unfortunately. He lords over the crowd with a look and sound that resembles acts such as Combichrist (who he has supported) and Rammstein, and gives a cheesy grin with every bang of his head. Main support for Black Light Burns tonight is Welsh electro-alt-rocker Jayce Lewis, who holds a dark, hard hitting industrial step. In a small room in the middle of the Black Country, Wes Borland assembles his men and returned to the UK with high hopes and darkness in their hearts to give fans of both BLB and Limp Bizkit a taste of what he does best for the first time in Europe.
