B O R I S

here, my heavy friends, are the Boris records that fall under the drone/experimental/hardcore/metal umbrella.

Archives 

the first folder 1996-1998 contains live recordings of early material (including HUGE and Hama) that predates amplifier worship....it's heavy as fuck, and most people haven't heard these songs: "In Hush, Soul Search You Sleep, Vacuuum, Mosquito, Mass Mercury, and Scar Box"). 
the second contains a live drumless set consisting of Huge, Mosquito, and Vomitself.
the third contains a live performance of shortened/sped up versions of Absolutego and Flood.

1996 Absolutego [FLAC] - this is one long (about an hour) song of heavy feedback and drone progression.

1998 Amplifier Worship [FLAC] - this is not only my favorite Boris album, it is one of my favorite albums of all time, and is what i consider to be the greatest drone metal album of all time (yeah, it's better than sunn O)))'s black one AND Earth-2... fight me). Perfectly fluid and brilliant musical flow from start to finish.




2002 Heavy Rocks [FLAC] - My 2nd favorite Boris album. It's a perfect blend of Hard Rock/Punk with some drone elements akin to Floor/Torche

2003 Boris at Last - Feedbacker [FLAC] - Yet another "one long song" album (although it's split into 5 parts). Pretty good, but not the best. Heavy on ambient feedback.

The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked I (2004), II & III (2006) - This 3 part series is truly unique. Each has 3-4 songs on that range somewhat widely in style from feedback/drone to relaxing/mesmerizing ambient.






2005 DronEvil [FLAC] - this record is both amazing and revolutionary. it is in reality 2 LPs/CDs that you are supposed to listen to AT THE SAME TIME. the first disc is completely ambient and borderline nonrhythmic, while the second disc contains the "actual" songs that range from relaxing/groovy jazz-rock to blistering heavy drone. This blog is named after the second song "Evil Wave Form" which, imho, is one of Boris' masterpieces.

2006 Vein 
 - This album took me the longest to get into, but now I really like it. It can best be characterized as a hardcore punk album (more than half the drum beats are circle pit worthy) drenched in two layers of constant feedback/drone. It's definitely hard on the ears at first, but it grows on you and it will ultimately make you (as it does me) happy to see that Boris hasn't forgotten punk rock. This upload includes both the "hardcore" and "noise" versions of the album (which you can read about on the wiki if you don't already know what they mean).
