From southernlord.com: Boris was ultimately inspired by the Melvins (in particular the Lysol album) and Earth. Besides pure heavy riff-droning bombast, Boris adds a unique experimentalist ambience to all they touch. This perfectly explains their involvement and collaboration with such cult-experimental artists such as MERZBOW and Keiji Haino. Every release from this group is different. Each is colossal in it's own right, but Absolutego is the group's finest achievement. Words do not describe this mammoth accomplishment. Earth moving drones swallow the listener whole, then regurgitate you as a mass of sloth like jelly. More Info
