BOA was formed in 2001 by Guitarist/Producer Gerhard Wolleter with the idea to just have fun and play live but with the intention to deliver the maximum power and intensity as possible incorporating power Latin grooves and mixing them with thrash metal to put a fresh and original style to a trend that is repeating it self over and over again. Gerhard ask long time friend Gustavo¨Horse¨Romero to join him in the project as a singer and a bass player, the music and lyrics for 9 songs were all ready written by Gerhard as well as the impossible drum parts also composed by Wolleter as well, so the search for an amazing drummer started, and J.I. Readi was the one who nail it and after 3 absolutely brutal shows we were signed to record our first CD, which we did that same year of '01, then we just keep on playing live, make a video for a song called ¨PUERCO¨(PIG) that make it to MTV,and keep playing live gigs always as louder and brutal as we can till 2003 when we stopped and went ,in a crazy move ,to live to Easter Island in the middle of the pacific 4.000 kms around from nowhere, that was a crazy and amazing time , we learned a lot of the Polynesian culture and musical folklore from the islands ,playing as well with some folk bands and touring around Polynesia in a incredible journey,mentally and musically. Time came to get back to Chile and we retake BOA were we left it to put all the influences that we learned by living 3 years among the Polynesian cultures and now we are ready with a new amazing drummer to record a new album and play live again but showing a real different thing never done before with the mixing of Polynesian musical grooves and Occidental power heavy rock/thrash.
