Brian Parker A bunch of straight-up Boris ragers on here, with that occasional saxophone adding to the sonic chaos! Nosferatou achieves amazing depths. Ghostly Imagination sounds like what the CyberKids will be thrashing to when we’re gifted with Heavy Rocks 10 forty years from now!!!

VUKARI Boris shred, Boris style in this installment of HEAVY ROCKS. No doubt they have continued to obliterate eardrums and expectations as they do punk, industrial, proto-metal and own each style. Heavy Rocks is a joy to blast.

Sergio Olavarrieta I haven't been very fond of previous Heavy Rocks albums, but this one is very unique and interesting. It defies rock with a very in your face, noisy, avant garde force. Pretty hard!

about

The legendary BORIS celebrate a 30 year career as one of experimental music's most forward-thinking, heavy, and innovative bands with the new album Heavy Rocks (2022). Continuing their series of Heavy Rocks records, BORIS once again channels the classic proto-metal sounds of the 70s into something all new.

The album, 10 pulse-pounding tracks, highlight the very trajectory of BORIS and their storied career - from the driving, fuzzed out Rock N' Roll opener "She is Burning", to the punk, raucous "My Name is Blank", BORIS are heavier than ever before. "Question 1" is just kickass - D-beats give way to a doomed, spaced out and heavier-than-anything guitar wailing and feedback, before diving back into their Metal, sending the listener into a complete frenzy. This is unmistakably BORIS, and this is the band at the height of their powers.

Elsewhere on the record, a more daring, "out there" side of the band begins to shine on tracks such as the aptly titled "Blah Blah Blah", the industrial "Ghostly Imagination" and the truly wild "Nosferatou". Noisy passages (not unlike prior collaborations with legendary artists like Merzbow,) collide with visceral vocal howls while a relentless, almost Zornian-saxophone shreds harder than any guitar solo ever could.

In 2022, BORIS cement what Heavy Rock means to them, and release one of their most captivating records to date.
