Highly prolific three piece from Japan who encompass a range of styles/genres including doom, drone, heavy metal, psychedelic rock and noise rock, their latest full-length record Smile was released this year on Southern Lord.

YES!!! I love that collaboration!!! So So Much. I am absolutely in love with the song The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep) I have to be honest I don't love Sunn O))) by themselves... but I really like Boris and I was stellarly (if that's a word) excited when I found out they were opening for NIN

I thought this would be a good opportunity for anyone who reads this to share some personal Boris favorites with the rest of us. Thank you xoxo from kansas city

deconstructer member Joined: 09/23/08 Location: Japan Posts: 334	They have six songs streamed at their MySpace page. Their music is ... heavy, fast, dreamy, slow, and whatever you like. [www.myspace.com] If you are into harsh noise, you would want to listen to their release as Boris with Merzbow, Sun Baked Snow Cave and Rock Dream. My all-time favourite Boris CDs are Flood, Mabuta No Ura and Pink. With the latest album, Smile, they expanded their musical horizon again. It's just amazing.

WayniacGutsfuck member Joined: 10/18/08 Posts: 76	Saw Boris & Sunn0))) live last year (I think?) and it was bloody awesome!!! Boris opened and were one of the most impressive live bands I've ever seen (Japanese bands KICK ASS - So full of energy!!!). Unfortunately I only have Akuma No Uta on CD, though I have downloaded both versions of the Vein album (love both, especially the hardcore version - so unlike all other Boris, yet it still has the Boris flavour to it <if that makes sense> If anyone is attending NIN in the next couple of weeks, BE EARLY, YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON WITNESSING BORIS!!! SEN-FUCKING-SATIONAL!!!

I was so stoked when I found they were chosen as the opener for NIN, I'm actually going to see them play their own show in Toronto then drive an hour to Hamilton the next night to catch them w/ NIN. Can't wait

wasteland member Joined: 11/21/08 Posts: 3	I was at the Grand Rapids, IA show on Nov.20th and Boris opened up for NIN. I was wondering if anyone knows the setlist they played or would perhaps be able to help me in figuring out one of the songs they did, it was probably close to 15minutes long, not sure if they were just jamming out or if they normally have songs that long on their albums, regardless they are very talented musicians.

Do you mean Grand Rapids, MI, or Cedar Rapids, IA? I was at the Grand Rapids show, but I still couldn't help you with the setlist. Just wanting to clarify for others that may be able to help you.

Dr_Lloyd member 'Anachrony makes the law' Joined: 12/17/08 Location: London Posts: 302	I cannot believe there is not more discussion on this band seeing as NIN fans were lucky enough to experience them live. Seen them 3 times, own pretty much all of their discography (well, a lot of it) and have as my lovely Christmas present from my significant other Rock Dream on purple vinyl. Beautiful. Photos. Live in London playing Flood in its entirety. Intimate showcase show for Smile. Supporting ISIS.
