 The Boris are a headless monster, or perhaps they have infinite heads: Japanese, guitar-bass-drums, active since 1992, with countless releases on numerous editions and labels, numerous stylistic deviations and contaminations, a series of collaborations among which the project Sunn O))) & Boris stands out, father of an excellent album, Altar.
