>Music that matters: Boris

Boris.
This japanese power trio is probably most well known for the collaboration with Sunn0))) on the absolutely massive Altar album, one of last years best releases. Incorporating all the styles we all should obey and believe in – drone, doom, noise, psychedelia, shoegaze, ambient, metal and pure rock’n’roll meltdown – they are on my worship list forever.
They’ve released tons of tracks on tons of albums and EP’s with and without additional musicians and I haven’t had the time to listen to them all, but one of my favourite songs is definitely Evil Wave Form. Cheesy song title, but what the hell… The music speaks in tounges, and that’s what matters. This is raw blasting doom on the verge of destruction.
Download it here (31 Mb), and please, pretty please with sugar on top: LISTEN TO THIS LOUD ON A GOOD STEREO SYSTEM. Your worthless MySpaceymobilephonelike stupid little computer speakers won’t do, you dumb ass borninthe80’s-90’s new school freak with no sense of direction.

Here’s a breakdown of the song’s most vital parts:

00:00:00 …begin…
00:00:14 …now you know this is going to be something special…monotony prevails…
00:01:42 …the march of doom has begun…slow…gentle…
00:03:28 …breakdown… tension builds…
00:04:25 …warfare begins…slow, harsh…darkness arise…distortion to hell…
00:05:11 …hold up and analyze…
00:05:17 …WAAAH!!…your soul is being destroyed…your face begins to melt…
00:05:38 …hail Black Sabbath…turn up the volume…crushing power…
00:06:33 …brains collapse…families die…enter evil wave form…
00:07:06 …tune in to psychedelia…
00:08:00 …it kicks in for real…noisy wave form…
00:08:30 …crushing riff…
00:08:40 …drifting into ambience…coughing in the background…exhaustion…
00:09:37 …ambience alone…holy monotony…
00:12:30 …disappearances…
00:13:19 …FUCK!! …the return of darkness and evil…you shit your pants and worship once more…
00:13:50 …we will rock your sorry ass…
00:14:07 …guitars so damned distorted and weird it starts to transform into noise…the horror!
00:15:10 …drenched in filth…abyssic bass line…
00:15:24 …BAM!!…crushing your skull again…
00:15:30 …guitar frenzy…Satan’s sirens…
00:16:00 …transformation into blackened noise again…melting riffs…
00:16:19 …psychedelic chaos…
00:16:28 …the song of sirens…
00:16:48 …hail Jimi Hendrix…
00:17:22 …the ending is near…infernal attack…drop out…
00:17:57 …noise…mayhem…worship…
00:18:30 …shrieking guitars…insanity’s dawn…
00:19:04 …breakdown…evil wave form…turn up the volume…kill the christians…and then you die…
00:19:40 … end…

Evil Wave Form was released on the Dronevil – Final – double cd on Inoxia Records (2006).

  1. >Man, I just love how you described that track! I’ve been listening to that shit for one hour straight now, reading your “breakdowns”… Fuckin’a amzing! Thanx for making me discover this heavy song man!

    As for specific albums… wow, that’s really hard since they’ve released so much stuff in a very short period of time. A lot of that stuff is obviously really bad… From what I’ve heard I can definitely recommend the “Dronevil FINAL” album as well as the “Rainbow” album, and their collaboration with Sunn0))) entitled “Altar”. You’ll just have to download randomly and find out yourself.
    Cheers!
