アメリカのAMPHETAMINE REPTILE RecordsからMelvins / Boris split “Twin of Evil”がリリース。
Borisは完全録り下ろしの20分に及ぶ新曲 “Cry -狂叫-“、Melvinsは新作アルバムから”Funny Equals Pain”を収録。
CDはShoxop.comにて発売中、12インチVinylは6/30から発売開始。
今作の写真と音楽サンプルは近日公開予定。

Tom from AmRep says:
This is a good ‘un! Plans were hatched last fall during the Twins Of Evil tour, and now this long playing memento exists!! Boris and Melvins each turning in a 20 minute masterpiece, to say I’m stoked is an understatement. Cover art was a linocut originally done for a tour poster but I thought it wasn’t immediate enough for that use and it got tossed aside. Turns out it makes for pretty swank 12″ sleeve that reflects the mood set by the bands. Melvins side recorded by toshi kasai

Boris North American Tour 2024 “Amplifier Worship Service”

In 2024, Boris will undergo a tour performing all the songs off their first album. We have already reached a quarter-century since the release of that 1st album, “Amplifier Worship”. Boris has been in constant pursuit of their own ideal “heavy” since their formation in 1992. From the outset they became like a chimera, evolving at a rapid pace, establishing a unique style with extreme downtuning and megavolume. Their broad sense of “Heavy Rock” swelled grotesquely, as it engulfed powerviolence, ambient and drone, with a trance component of krautrock and so on.

From Tokyo to the world, Boris spread out from the underground community to have their name become more widely known. Five years after their formation, Boris went deep into the beyond of heavy music to make their first album, one that can be said to be a palace constructed in unexplored realms. However, the album by no means serves as a peaceful “end” or resting place/”gravestone” for those compositions. Rather, it was a map to the “beyond” that Boris drew up at the time, a blueprint pointing to the future. 25 years after the release of “Amplifier Worship”, that guidance has been revealed: a full length tour for performing all of the songs on the album in a double-drum-format Drone Set.

As a pioneering effort in Drone Metal, a palace under the name of “Amplifier Worship” was constructed and revealed as both a point of departure as well as a destination. Amplified oscillations and volume, going from anguish to pleasure and back, being in fear as well as in awe at what can be called heavy— we venture into this palace of worship together.
For this tour Boris are taking along Starcrawler, a band that intensifies the prayer of rock ‘n’ roll. This only takes us further into the “beyond,” embarking on this worship service. Welcome to the ceremony!

“and 2 Years Later”

In 1994, a live recording on 8-track analog open-reel tape was unearthed and released.
After Pandemic, the formation with Atsuo in charge of Vocal is becoming a standard set.
For the first four years after Boris was formed, Atsuo was originally in charge of Vocal.
In 1996, drummer Nagata left the band, and Atsuo became the drummer and vocalist.
Boris, who had been self-recording since the beginning, brought an open-reel analog 8-track tape recorder to the venue to record.
This is a documentary album made two years after the beginning.

1994年、8トラックのアナログオープンリールテープで録音されていたライブ盤を発掘。
パンデミック以降はAtsuoがVocalを執る編成がスタンダードセットになりつつある。
Borisを結成して4年間、Atsuoのパートは元々Vocalであった。
96年にドラムのNagataが脱退し、AtsuoがドラムとVocalを兼任することとなる。
当初からセルフレコーディングを行なっていたBorisは、会場にオープンリールのアナログ
トラックテープレコーダーを持ち込み、この録音をおこなっていた。

これは始まりから2年後のドキュメンタリー作品。
