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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormed in 2006, \u003cstrong\u003eBosse-de-Nage\u003c\/strong\u003e first encountered \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven\u003c\/strong\u003e at one of the latter’s earliest shows, held at a now-defunct art gallery in San Francisco’s Mission District. \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven’s \u003c\/strong\u003edemo 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,” \u003cstrong\u003eBosse-de-Nage\u003c\/strong\u003e 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exact genesis of Split has been lost to time. Arriving just over a year after \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven’s\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011 debut Roads to Judah, neither band can remember who first proposed the collaboration, only that the idea made immediate sense. \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven\u003c\/strong\u003e contributed a cover of Mogwai’s “Punk Rock \/ Cody,” while \u003cstrong\u003eBosse-de-Nage\u003c\/strong\u003e contributed the original “A Mimesis of Purpose,” which marked their first collaboration with Astrid J. Smith, arranging and performing strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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,” \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven\u003c\/strong\u003e 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, \u003cstrong\u003eBosse-de-Nage\u003c\/strong\u003e and Flenser Records.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter years out of print, both bands chose to revisit their contributions rather than simply repress the original release. Longtime \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven\u003c\/strong\u003e collaborator Jack Shirley of Atomic Garden remixed “Punk Rock \/ Cody,” while Richard Chowenhill of \u003cstrong\u003eAgriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e remixed \u003cstrong\u003eBosse-de-Nage’s\u003c\/strong\u003e “A Mimesis of Purpose,” bringing new clarity and dimension to both recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFourteen years later, Split remains a document of two bands encountering one another at a formative moment, recognizing something in each other before either knew where their music would lead. Newly remixed, remastered, and reimagined, the 2026 edition returns that moment to the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessionally duplicated cassettes housed in black marble shells. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: orders containing pre-order items will be held until everything in the order is available to ship. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeafheaven \/ Bosse-de-Nage (2026 Mix) will be released on November 27th, 2026 via The Flenser. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Dv88PZpEqU?si=uN_bRAyu6QFymz-Y\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Flenser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52075892932903,"sku":"DFHVN-BDN-TAPE","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1719\/7393\/files\/deafheaven-bosse-de-nage-deafheaven-bosse-de-nage-2026-mix-tape-pre-order-1258781639.jpg?v=1789438868","url":"https:\/\/nowflensing.com\/products\/deafheaven-bosse-de-nage-2026-mix-tape","provider":"The Flenser","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
