RECOMMENDED! Boris continues its remarkable evolution from primordial doomsayers to psych-metal alchemists with Pink, an extraordinarily visceral record that epitomizes the art and allure of utter chaos. In some respects, it's the trio's most structured record, complete with more conventional song lengths and taut, direct melodies -- in other respects it's their most challenging and complex, building layer upon layer of elemental noise to achieve an almost fearsome power that both requires and reward   [ read more ]

With their second full-length album, Boris takes their sludgy, Melvins-influenced doom rock style and gives it a heavy psychedelic slant. The album is divided into five tracks, but like their other albums, Absolutego and Flood, it plays out like one extended piece and is meant to be listened to straight through in one sitting. It starts out with a slow, ugly doom riff that repeats for several minutes before heading into a stretched-out, psychedelic jam section on the lengthy second trac   [ read more ]

Being a flowing and brooding soundtrack to an imaginary film conceived by the three band members, the album manages to present the listener to a number of moods and soundscapes without actually breaking out of its shell.

Feedbacker begins at the core, with ambient waves of Earth-like drones rippling across an otherwise silent nine minute expanse before Atsuo spills into his cymbals, commencing a funereal march.

The Japanese masters of drone and analog feedback never cease to amaze us. Fans actually never know what to expect from a new album. Sludgy guitar riffs, super distorted psych rock or mighty minimal drones? Just be prepared for a new masterpiece, the way only they seem to do it.

Recorded in 1996, this album was Boris' full-length debut, and it showed right away that this band wasn't messing around. In its original version, it consisted of one 65-minute track of oozing, slow motion, Melvins-inspired drone rock. (The U.S. release, put out in 2001 by Southern Lord, adds an additional bonus track, the 7:50 "Dronevil." And talk about buildups, this thing starts with a full 25 minutes of heavily down-tuned bass rumblings and doom-instilling guitar feedback before the drums   [ read more ]

If you have the endurance to sit through its full 62 minutes, Boris with Merzbow's third release, 2005's Sun Baked Snow Cave, will certainly take you on a sonic journey. Comprised of a single instrumental track (which shares the same name as the album title), it all starts out about as minimalist as you can possibly get -- single notes plucked on a nylon string guitar. But eventually, the piece begins picking up some steam, by incorporating other sounds, including buzzing insects and various {\electro   [ read more ]

On first listen to Boris' Pink (domestically issued on Southern Lord), longtime fans of the Japanese heavy metal trio would be pressed to say that they crafted it for American audiences. This is significant to be sure. On the opening track, "Farewell," one can hear so many un-Boris-like traits -- a bit of Ride and My Bloody Valentine here, a bit of Isis (who were influenced by Boris!) there, a trace of Sigur R=s, Nadja, and Jesu, too -- that one wonders if this is a se   [ read more ]

What do you get when you pair the most diverse Japanese power trio with one of the same country's most inventive guitarists? Rainbow pairs Boris, a band who makes so many different kind of records -- though all of them in their way are "heavy" -- and Michio Kurihara from Japan's longest running freak scene band Ghost, who are also known to change sounds, themes and operational M.O.'s each time they record. The end result is a series of psychedelic songs -- yes, songs (albeit sung in Japanese    [ read more ]
