Documented collaborators
Hailing from Tokyo since 1992, Boris is a fearless experimental force in heavy music. Consisting of Atsuo (drums/vocals), Takeshi (bass/guitar), and Wata (guitar/keys), all members contribute vocals, creating a dynamic, genre-defying sound that traverses drone, sludge, noise rock, post-rock, and doom. Their prolific output—frequently releasing multiple albums in a single year—has earned them a lasting place in the modern underground scene. They’re known for iconic records like Pink (2005), which Pitchfork highlighted among the top releases of 2006 and which continues to influence artists and fans alike. Boris tours globally, bringing their expansive sonic landscapes to North America, Latin America, Europe, and beyond.
