Boris rattle the brain harder than any flag-waving, metal-zone-stomping, B.C. Rich-tapping good ol' boys ever could. The Japanese doom lords are just heavy in a way that is difficult to describe, down-shifting seismic grooves into a cathartic mess of overdriven guitar and satanic incantation. While collaborations with Sunn O))) and psych-shredder extraordinaire Michio Kurihara reflect the trio's droning and melodic tendencies, respectively, the group's recent Smile LP is perhaps Boris' most accomplished and varied foray into the nether regions of psychedelia. Tonight, they conjure a small earthquake alongside fellow wave-shaking force Torche.
