Using overpowering soundscapes embellished with copious amounts of lighting and billow smoke, Boris has shared with audiences across the planet an experience for all five senses in their concerts, earning legions of zealous fans along the way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ymlpmail2.net\/imgz\/80ww_unnamed4--7.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Boris Absolutego red vinyl\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally released in 1996, Boris\u2019s 60-minute 13-second debut \u201csingle\u201d&nbsp;\u2018Absolutego\u2019 will see an officially remastered reissue out&nbsp;on November 13, 2020&nbsp;on Third Man Records. This reissue will include updated album art and full \u201cone long song\u201d spread across one and a half LPs, with 1997 recording <em>Dronevil 2<\/em> filling out side D of the second LP, all fitting in a neatly packaged single-pocket LP jacket pressed at Third Man Pressing. This will also serve as&nbsp;Absolutego\u2019s long-awaited debut across digital streaming services.&nbsp;\u2018Absolutego\u2019 is a trek over a staggering mountain of sound. The tension builds with wave after wave of massive feedback, drums leading into a crushing crescendo of full-band repetition and clarity before descending deeper until finally reaching a surreal divebomb purring drone finale. This song takes notes out of the Melvins playbook and pushes the sound to its absolute logical and visceral extreme. It sets a solid foundation for why Boris is considered to be one of the most important metal bands of the 21st century.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ymlpmail2.net\/imgz\/80ww_unnamed5--2.jpg?resize=626%2C442&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Boris Amplifier Worship green vinyl\" width=\"626\" height=\"442\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First released in 1998, catalog staple&nbsp;\u2018Amplifier Worship\u2019&nbsp;will see a reissue (as well as its first-ever remaster) with minimalistic album art inspired by the first-press Japanese CD&nbsp;on November 13, 2020&nbsp;via Third Man Records. The Stoughton gatefold jacket will house both officially remastered LPs, pressed at Third Man Pressing. This will also serve as&nbsp;Amplifier Worship\u2019s long-awaited debut across digital streaming services.&nbsp;\u2018Amplifier Worship\u2019&nbsp;is Boris\u2019s most intense and unrelenting album to date. Not for the faint of heart, the group incorporates mythic doom-drones, up-tempo psych-sludge and even a refreshing ribbit into their signature concoction of celestial and heavy music.&nbsp;\u2018AmplifierWorship\u2019&nbsp;is a critical chapter in the Boris canon. The album is a testament to the group&#8217;s bullishness in pushing metal to its uncomfortable and unfamiliar edges. And it is also undoubtedly one of their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-save\/pre-order&nbsp;\u2018Absolutego\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpmail2.net\/0771debqumafaehyjualawjjaoawjbu\/click.php\">here<\/a>, and pre-save\/pre-order&nbsp;\u2018Amplifier Worship\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpmail2.net\/90e27ebqujanaehyjuaaawjjaiawjbu\/click.php\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Japanese doom pioneers Boris&nbsp;have announced digital and physical reissues of 1996&#8217;s&nbsp;\u2018Absolutego\u2019&nbsp;and 1998&#8217;s&nbsp;\u2018Amplifier Worship,\u2019 both&nbsp;due&nbsp;November 13, 2020&nbsp;via&nbsp;Third Man Records.
