LA RECENSIONE

Is your dealer bailing on you? Don't want to drink? Not sure how to get high? Well, there are two options: either complete resignation with subsequent head banging or "Absolutego" by Boris!

I have to say that it is not a common listening experience, simple, smooth, tranquil, no, it is not at all, so better not alone… if you're really forced to use it alone at this point, I suggest you find a marker and write "Absolutego" on the palm of your hand...

"You fall asleep, wake up in a deserted city, dark, with a light rain and a strong wind, the motion of the planet is much faster. At this point, you wonder where you are, if you are alive if you are in a parallel dimension, but voices capture your attention. You can't figure out where they are coming from; you run a little in search of someone, a being like you, meet a little monster sitting behind the drums, playing on the ride, doing his thing, but notices you and begins to unleash hell by banging on the bass drum, snare drum, and various cymbals. You turn and run, faster and faster, but the sound of the drums follows you, it doesn't leave you, and is accompanied by apocalyptic reverberations. The ground begins to tremble; you start to tire but continue to run, without a destination, without a safe place to reach. The buildings start to collapse, but you continue to run; you don't know where you are, but you can understand that wherever it is, it's at the end… yes, the end, the end that you like so much and gives you so much adrenaline, and so you decide to let go and die along with it…"

DarkNight arrives: hey… hey… hey wake up! What happened to you? What's written there on your hand? Let me see… What an idiot you are to have listened to it alone again...

Panic: hey DarkNight! Great timing, I almost didn't make it...

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)!

Boris' Absolutego is an intense and unique listening experience that demands attention and respect. The album spans over 65 minutes of immersive, apocalyptic soundscapes that evoke a sense of running through a dystopian, collapsing world. It is a challenging but rewarding journey, best experienced with company due to its overwhelming nature.
