The Profile

Boris is a Japanese experimental rock trio active since 1992, known for extreme volume, heavy distortion, and frequent stylistic shifts across drone, sludge/stoner, shoegaze, ambient, and noise, including collaborations with artists such as Sunn O))) and Merzbow.

From the reviews: described as a Japanese guitar-bass-drums trio, active since 1992, with a large discography and notable collaborations (Sunn O))) & Boris; Merzbow; Michio Kurihara).

Across these reviews, Boris come off as a hyper-prolific Japanese trio with a reputation for constant reinvention. Writers highlight massive distortion, drone/doom rituals, sludge-rock bursts, and occasional melodic/shoegaze or pop-leaning pivots. Several albums are framed as immersive, long-form experiences (Flood, Absolutego, Feedbacker), while collaborations expand the palette into noise and psychedelic rock. Overall consensus: challenging, excessive, and frequently rewarding.

Notable Quotes

❝ But remember: it's always just rock'n'roll.
❝ This Boris produce music at the same speed with which an eighty-year-old pees.
❝ The ever-evolving hydra from the Land of the Rising Sun mocks those who can't seem to evolve..
❝ Probably the best noise record ever.
❝ Uh… Yes! "Absolutego" is all of this! This album is pure terror in audio form, human screams coming from the deepest abyss, sixty-five and a half minutes (all in one go) of sounds that will shatter your highs and make your subwoofer rejoice (if you have a 5.1)!
