Japanese cult ducky sludge/doom rock 'n' roll deuce-ace Boris takes their identify from a song on grime godfathers the Melvins' Bullhead catfish record album. They as well induce a clump in harsh with the Melvins musically, including a philia for heavily down-tuned guitar/bass tones and super wearisome tempos. But they as well incorporate elements diversely haggard from quondam sources, including psychedelic rock, punk, disturbance, minimalism, unadulterated sludge-drone music à la Earth, and more. Also, despite the unostentatious psychedelic/stoner rock 'n' roll imagination that accompanies much of their play upon, there is an determinedly experimental aspect to a great deal of it. Their albums, for example, make tended to be monolithic conceptual projects: Absolutego, in its original form, was a feedback-heavy monotone geographic expedition consisting of a single 65-minute track; Flood consists of some former passing long path, 70-plus proceedings in length, exploring the band's quieter sides with a minimalist/phase music angle. Also on the more experimental remnant of their discography are collaborations with Japanese vanguard brain-teaser Keiji Haino and grownup businessman electronics/noise legend Merzbow.


Boris formed during the early '90s and consists of guitarist Wata, bassist Takeshi, and drummer/vocalist Atsuo. They made their first recorded appearance on an obscure 1994 compilation entitled Take Care of Scabbard Fish, released only in Japan and at present out of print. Absolutego, their full-length debut, came out in 1996 on the band's own Fangs Anal Satan embossment merely was unavailable in the U.S. for years, a situation that was remedied when the Los Angeles-based Southern Lord label reissued the album in early 2001 along with a bonus track and modern packaging. Their next album, Amplifier Worship, came out on the Mangrove label in 1998 and was besides unavailable in the U.S. for several long time; San Francisco's Man's Ruin had planned to reissue it in the lessen of 2001, only the mark folded earlier that could happen. 1998 besides sawing machine the vent of the Boris/Keiji Haino collaborationism, a live disk entitled Black: Implication Flooding, which came out on Japan's Inoxia Records. In 1999, Boris issued a split CD with fellow Japanese band Choukoko No Niwa, More Echoes, Touching Air Landscape, which as well came out on Inoxia and featured Boris weighing in with a brief (for them) 28-minute contribution. Their third uncut album, Deluge, was released iI days later on the MIDI Creative label. Their 2006 album Garden pink place them endorse on Southern Lord and featured some shoegaze-influenced sounds. A year later Rainbow appeared with Michio Kurihara from the Japanese isthmus Ghost tributary to the soundscapes. Also in 2007, they released a limited edition recording of a live execution with Japanese noise master key Merzbow in Tokyo titled Rock Dream.
