Boris returns with a new 12″ EP for Southern Lord containing three songs fronted by vocalist Ian Astbury of The Cult and (sigh) The Doors of the 21st Century. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but what was wrong with Takeshi’s vocals? Oh well, at least Wata sings on one song (a cover of [...]
Doom fans were in for a treat this weekend, as not one but three massive vinyl editions from Southern Lord were made available to order. The SL shop has unveiled some crucial vinyl editions of very early work from Boris, with revamped artwork and re-edited music made to fit onto the vinyl format. There has [...]
Not sure you could gather four bigger names from the weirdo-metal inner circle to record a pair of splits. Hats off to Hydra Head. Both new splits come with awesome artwork from Aaron Turner, and this Torche / Boris split comes with a pretty fucking sweet t-shirt option. Don’t try and tell me you haven’t [...]
Well, I cannot lie – this is the one I’ve been waiting for. I’ll just go ahead and let Wata sell this one. Order from southernlord.com.
This may be a lengthy post. Insound just announced a new undertaking for them, the Insound Record Club. Basically, members will be sent a random record every month, specially curated by the staff, and featuring the “most exciting new indie releases on the horizon”. Six month memberships are $150, one year memberships are $275. Oh, [...]
Well, I simply cannot wait for this lovely sleeve to show it’s face in my mailbox. That’s drummer extraordinaire Atsuo getting ready to show your timid Anglo-girlfriend the business. We can only hope that he is depantsed fully on the back cover. Conflicted… at southernlord.com.
Those pining for the halycon days of classic Boris material should be happy to know that Conspiracy Records has just launched a pre-order for a repressed vinyl edition of At Last – Feedbacker, also known as one of the best albums this band has ever created. Available to order now on red or black vinyl. [...]
Just got sent this really rad article by it’s author, thanks so much for that! Noisecreep’s feature on “Vinyl In The Digital Age” features brief interviews with members of bands like Isis, Pelican, Coalesce, Boris, etc about vinyl’s importance. Check it out at Noisecreep.com.
Well this is either going to be completely awesome or totally retarded, depending on how jaded you have become towards Japan’s unapologetic and unabashed psych-fuzz, doom-pop rockers. You probably already knew this was coming, but now you can actually plop your hard earned money down on this 3-part 7″ vinyl series from Boris on Southern [...]
Well as far as I can tell, Allthatisheavy is the first US distro to offer this one up on vinyl. Unless you missed the headline and first sentence of this post, the key phrase here is “Boris vinyl“. It’s for sale. You know how that goes, either you want it real bad or you turned [...]
Hey there thrifty vinyl shopper. Remember this live double album from Boris we told you about? Well, turns out you can bypass the fine folks at Conspiracy Records and order this direct from the source for 8 EUROS LESS. To clarify for the Americans, €8 = 1 meal at Applebee’s. Whoa! Check it out for [...]
Hmmm… hot off the heels of last year’s live Smile release comes this… other live Smile release. The setting is moved from Wolf Creek to Palace Akroplis in Prague, but this recording is still from the Smile tour so you know what to expect: utter aural annihilation at the hands of Japan’s fiercest metal trio [...]
