Boris

Japanese experimental doom/sludge/drone/psych/metal band

Boris, the acclaimed Japanese experimental doom and ambient metal band, have forged an enduring legacy since their formation in 1992. Renowned for pushing the boundaries of heavy music, Boris blend elements of sludge, drone, psychedelia, and ambient to create immersive sonic experiences that defy genre conventions. Their discography is testament to their restless creativity, from the influential “Heavy Rocks” to inventive collaborations and the forthcoming album “Rainbow 2”, scheduled for release in May 2026.

Boris remain an electrifying presence on the international live music scene. October 2026 sees them headlining Digital in Newcastle upon Tyne, part of their ambitious UK and European tour. The band’s unique live concerts are celebrated for atmospheric intensity and experimentation, ensuring each performance is distinct. This tour also features select dates in cities such as Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, and London, many of which have quickly sold out, reflecting their dedicated following and critical acclaim within the underground and avant-garde music communities.

With a continually expanding catalogue and a reputation for boundary-pushing shows, Boris invite listeners old and new to delve into their world of uncompromising sound. Follow Boris for news, tour dates, and to stay updated on upcoming gigs and unique live experiences.
