Third Man Us Vinilo y CD

Review: The first of three albums from the Japanese post-everything auteurs titled Heavy Rocks, arrived in 2002 with the second and third installments coming in 2011 and 2022, respectively. These volumes served to allow the group to fully explore their heaviest tendencies with full abandon, and none are as adored or praised (or essential to own on vinyl) than the minimal orange adorned first entry. Plumbing the depths of psychedelic stoner rock, heaving sludge and cavernous doom metal, all whilst retaining accessible grooves and absurdly catchy riffage, this is Boris at their most abrasive, face-melting and imposing, while also serving as a solid entry point into their beastly 20+ album discography.

Review: The first instalment of the three-album cycle from Japanese post-everything auteurs Boris, titled Heavy Rocks, originally landed in 2002 with the second and third volumes arriving in 2011 and 2022, respectively. These projects offered the subversive trio a chance to fully explore and expand their heftiest tendencies with total sonic abandon, with none being more adored or praised (or vital to collect on vinyl) than the minimal orange adorned first entry. Plumbing the depths of psych stoner-doom with forays into heaving sludge metal, all whilst retaining catchy grooves and absurd riffage, this is Boris at their most abrasive, face-melting and imposing, while also serving as a solid entry point into their beastly 20+ album discography. This pressing also comes on orange vinyl for the extra aesthetic-bothered collectors.
