Tripper (2011)


The most recent full-length from the hella rad math-rock duo from Sacramento, California. Imagine Lightning Bolt and Behold...the Arctopus making a collaboration album and you have these guys. They're a really groovy and powerful blend of noise and math. It's hella sweet.

"We wrote, recorded, and mixed Tripper in only 16 studio days but we did it in short 2 or 3 day sessions spaced a couple of months apart each. 95% of the album is just one guitar track, one bass track and one drum track.  On Headless I doubled the guitar part and on a section near the end of the song I actually played a harmonized lead for a second."

Heavy Rocks (2011)


The sequel to the trio's 2002 album. Just as loud and just as redefining as the original, Boris does not disappoint. I'm also going to include the record version of the final track on the album, since the track fades out after about a minute or so on any other format.

They intend to conquer the universe.
We're gonna kick out the evil guys.

Heavy Rocks (2002)


Known by many genres (including drone metal, psychedelic rock, ambient, sludge metal, ambient, and stoner metal), this Japanese trio is loud. Like, hella loud. Their mix of nice and spacey ambient sections, catchy choruses, and very sludgey droning rifts make them the band they are today. Overall, I would describe this album as being a very enjoyable assault of loud distortion.
