CHIRP is excited to welcome Japanese metal legends Boris to the new Ramova Theatre on Friday, October 11th as they perform their debut, Amplifier Worship Service, in its entirety!
Boris has been in constant pursuit of their own ideal “heavy” since their formation in 1992. From the outset they were a chimera, evolving at a rapid pace, establishing a unique style with extreme downtuning and megavolume. Their broad sense of “Heavy Rock” engulfed powerviolence, ambient and drone, with a trance component, elements of krautrock and more.
From the Tokyo underground to the rest of the world, Boris' name become more widely known. Five years after their formation, the band went deep into the beyond of heavy music to make their first album, one that can be said to be a palace constructed in unexplored realms. However, the album by no means serves as a resting place/gravestone for those compositions. Rather, it was a map to the beyond that Boris drew up at the time, a blueprint pointing to the future.
25 years after the release of Amplifier Worship, that guidance has been revealed: a full length tour to perform all of the songs on the album in a double-drum-format drone set.
