Crystal Machete is an instrumental solo album by Wes Borland, guitarist of Limp Bizkit and frontman of Black Light Burns. The album was conceived as a soundtrack to an imaginary '80s movie. While recording the album, Borland imposed the following guidelines upon himself: no distorted guitars, no human vocals, and as little outside help as possible.
Contents
The album was released in May 2016 to positive reviews. For example, Antiquiet praised Borland's ability to raise to the challenges of the self-imposed limitations, while Drowned in Sound found the album to be a "a beautiful, sprawling post-rock mini epic".
The album received a vinyl release on the label Edison Sound in September 2016.
