Black Light Burns is Wes Borland’s breath of fresh air, away from all the equivocation, conflicts and torments caused by Limp Bizkit’s heavy exposure. It’s an opportunity to be an artist in his own right, and to practice the many arts he masters, from singing to artwork, costume and stage-setting-making, and from keyboards to, obviously, guitar.
Borland’s playing is experimental and unconventional; it has allowed Limp Bizkit to enjoy killer riffs, aerial ambiences and psychedelic textures. Black Light Burns is a different deal entirely: The Moment You Realize You’re Going To Fall, released at the end of last year, is an industrial record that sees Wes Borland experimenting in a Nine Inch Nails-ish universe served with a punk dressing.
Wes Borland was in Paris on the occasion of the band’s European tour for this album. It was a good opportunity to talk to him about the record, rather different from Black Light Burns’ first effort, about his artistic vision as a whole, but also about Limp Bizkit’s eagerly anticipated new album and his relations with three of the main people behind this release no one believed in anymore: producer Ross Robinson, long-time-no-see DJ Lethal, and of course he who generally causes scandal, Fred Durst.
