Borbos Official

Borbos is an Armenian-American extreme metal music project, founded in Los Angeles, California in 2017. 

Lyrically, the themes explored in Borbos are primarily derived from psychological disorders. 

The word “borbos” is the Armenian word for mold, which much like many disorders, initially lives undetected until eventually consuming the host. 

Musically, Borbos is a hybrid of thrash, death, and black metal - utilizing extreme metal benchmarks like tremolo picking, harsh vocals, and unconventional song structures. 

“Fear Paralysis” was written, recorded and produced between 2017-2019, in a $1,000 home studio. Guitars, bass and vocals were all performed by Ari, along with drum programming. In addition to song-writing and production, all artwork was developed by Ari. “Fear Paralysis” was independently created intermittently within two years and self released in September 2019.
