New Boris - Dear

[Blackened Soul]

Every time I've seen then they have been great, although, the opening bands they pick......

[Inconuucl]

They are doing a small tour with Sumac and Endon...but of course not anywhere near me. But damn that's a fantastic lineup.

[imJonWain]

they are playing Boston?

[benjuro]

They're playing Boston on Halloween

Also, these.

[imJonWain]

I am.

But I haven't liked anything of Boris since 2008, except by like 5 songs.


Jackson Head!

I fucking love this shit man. I don't know how you can not dig it, but I get it at the same time. It's different than some of their other stuff, but the heaviness is fucking great to me.

Shit, they're retiring? Glad I saw them... one of the best shows I've ever been too, I'd reckon.

I dunno, when I saw them it was SubRosa and Atlas Moth, I thought it was a good fit.

The only one I enjoyed a lot was Tera Melos, that was in their last tour with Michio Kurihara in 2011.
Besides that, mostly crap =[ Like Deafheaven and stoner bands that played the same song over and over.

It's still in the air if they will or not, but with that in mind I'm definitely going to see them this tour. I missed out on Strapping Young Lad's last tour out of laziness and I don't want that shit to happen again.

[BitchPudding]

deadsong is some of the heaviest shit I've ever heard in my god damn life. I can't fucking wait for the live show.

I'm listening to Dear right now (didn't notice the rest of it was released). One of the things I love most about Boris is that they're one band that has done a bunch of different albums. Many musicians (myself included) will have an idea for a different sound and just start a different project. I don't like a lot of their J-Pop and other albums in the last few years but I respect them for giving that all a shot because they seemed interested in that. I remember hearing about them on some forums in the late 90's and then seeing this album (Amplifier Worship) with a gummy worm in the spine of the CD and I was sold. Flood still amazes me and I have a few other go-to albums of theirs over the years, mostly older ones. I'm looking forward to seeing them in SF in a few months.
