No (Boris Album)
''No'' (presented as ''NO'' in conjunction with its follow-up album '' W'') is the twenty-sixth studio album by Japanese experimental band Boris, released 3 July 2020 on the band's label Fangs Anal Satan. Background ''No'' was written and recorded quickly in March 2020 when Boris entered self-isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspired by current international political trends, Boris described the album as "a mirror that gathers and reflects people’s negative energy at a different angle, one that is positive. That is the power and potential of the dark, extreme, and brutal noise music that we have experienced up to this point." Unlike the lengthy experimental tracks that dominated the band's last few albums, ''No'' consists mostly of short, hardcore-based songs. It includes the cover song "Fundamental Error" by 1990s Japanese hardcore band Gudon. Japanese hardcore guitarist Katsumi makes a guest appearance. The album was self-released. Composition With ''NO'', Boris cra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
W (Boris Album)
''W'' is the twenty-seventh studio album by Japanese experimental band Boris, released 21 January 2022 on the Sacred Bones label. Background ''W'' is intended to be a companion piece to the band's 2020 studio album '' NO'', with the titles of the two albums combining to create the word ''NOW''. Whereas the previous album focused on aggressive hardcore songs, ''W'' focuses on ethereal and ambient compositions to serve as a counterpoint. The two albums are intended to address the conflicts and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the band describing the project as “a continuous circle of harshness and healing". Several reviewers noticed that ''W'' builds upon the song "Interlude" which closed the previous album, with other reviewers finding connections between various songs on each album.
