Inoxia posted pre-orders this weekend for a new album from Boris. Praparat is being billed as vinyl only, and if previous experience is any indication, Daymare releases do not usually make it over to the States (although you may have an opportunity to pick it up if you catch the band on tour later this [...]
I’m not even trying to keep up with the logistics of the Boris discography at this point. Pretty sure that New Album has already been released in Japan as a limited and expensive vinyl version, and also that some of these songs may or may not already appear on other “new albums” from Boris that [...]
Oh, Boris merch ordering options, when will you cease raping my wallet (and my heart)? If you click on over to their HelloMerch store, you can find quite a few enticing options for the two new North American albums from these Japanese heart-throbs, including online store exclusive vinyl colorways and logos imprinted on American Apparel’s [...]
Like every other warm-blooded doom fan on the internet, I have been furiously trying to make sense of Boris’ spring release line-up while simultaneously fending off a knee-jerk reaction to declare these releases completely unworthy of me caring. Blame the Ian Astbury collab for that, some bad tastes just never wash out. In any case, [...]
How many Boris albums do you need to get you through to 2012? Hopefully no more than four – along with the aforementioned vinyl releases on Sargeant House, Boris is also pushing out two new albums on Daymare and publishing a Boris-related release on their very own Inoxia Record imprint.

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.

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”.
