BORIIIIIS! First two albums! Heavy double vinyl in gatefold sleeves! BORIIIIIIIIIS! I guess if you're more familiar with their recent straightforwardly balls-out rock stuff some of their earlier material might come as a little bit of a surprise being super droney and everything but these two by no means jettison the riffs entirely, preferring to use them as the crushing payoffs to lengthy periods of buildup, tension and zoning out that conjure a psychedelically doomy post-metal kind of impression. Absolutego is the more minimal of the two.. It's a good 'un but personally I'm more of a fan of Amplifier Worship with 'Hama' being a particular favourite. Flood, Heavy Rocks and Akuma No Uta nxt plz.

What their label says...

* 75 copies only for the UK!
* For the first time ever the first two Boris albums, Absolutego and Amplifier Worship are being issued by Southern Lord.
* Due to the enormous length of the songs, as well as the originally crafted flow of the albums, they were previously only
available on CD.
* After much deliberation and clever editing the albums' massive content was made ready for vinyl. The artwork have
also been given a tasteful overhaul by Southern Lord graphic wizard, Stephen O'Malley.
