After years of working on it when all the participants had free time from their projects, Black Light Burns released their debut album, Cruel Melody in the spring of 2007. While the songs were written by Borland, he did have additional input from producer Danny Lohner, the drums were performed by Josh Freese, and the keyboards and additional engineering were assisted by Josh Eustis. He encouraged Borland to "not sing like someone was asleep in the next room" and make it a heavier affair, while coincidentally Borland was changing the material slowly more into that. However, Sonny Moore (vocalist of From First to Last) developed a node on his right vocal cord needing surgery, thus ending Wes Borland's touring stint with From First to Last.īorland was offered the touring guitarist spot in Nine Inch Nails, and frontman Trent Reznor offered his opinions on the material as it was at the time. This tour was to feature Borland doing double duty as the singer/guitarist for Black Light Burns and then bassist for From First to Last afterwards. Cruel Melody (2006–2007)īlack Light Burns' first tour was previously set to begin in fall of 2006 with From First to Last, who Borland also plays bass for on and off.

By this time, Borland had written significantly heavier material for Black Light Burns alongside the softer material, and Black Light Burns had evolved into a full out band as opposed to a softer solo effort.
Borland stated that Black Light Burns was now his main project, and anything else he did, including Limp Bizkit, was a side project. According to him, the band members had already gone their separate ways, and he simply decided not to return. Post the release of Limp Bizkit's The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) in 2005, arguments broke out on MySpace between Borland and frontman Fred Durst, and Borland left Limp Bizkit once again. Borland returned to Limp Bizkit once again in late summer of 2004, turning down the spots as touring guitar player in A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails. This solo record was the beginning of Black Light Burns, and stylistically at the time, it was more of a mellow, relaxing, and esoteric outing. Borland became self-absorbed, and along with continuous pressure from the label, and struggles finding a lead singer for the band, the project eventually disbanded.Īfter the 'failure' of another project, The Damning Well, in 2003, Borland began writing a solo record with its members Danny Lohner and Josh Freese, with Josh Eustis and John Bates contributing. Eat The Day eventually unraveled itself, as, in Borland's words, "I think everybody involved in that project had different ideas about the direction that it should go". Simultaneously, he began Eat The Day, with Scott Borland. He set it aside after his departure from Limp Bizkit and began working on several different projects, the first of which was supposed to be an instrumental album one could listen to and simply relax. He was already a member of Big Dumb Face, a project he had been working on with his brother Scott, during his time with Limp Bizkit. After achieving mainstream success and popularity with Limp Bizkit, Wes Borland quit the band in 2001.
