The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked Vol. 2 & 3



The second and third volumes of Boris' "The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked" both equally serve as a nice expansion on the idea and even more so, take it to the next level (by adding some percussion this time) as the band continues the sonic disposition of the first volume. These two volumes were released at the same time following the sole release of the initial volume. Once again, I believe these three volumes are best when heard as a single unit. Of course, most people don't have the time today to sit down for two hours and listen to some trippy music, but if you can somehow make the time, I'm sure you'll find it rewarding the more you delve into this little-known set of gems.

Boris - The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked


This is the first volume of "The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked" series out of three on vinyl release only. The initial three tracks are laid back in comparison to the latter two volumes (no drums, trippy guitar, etc.) and in that approach I think the series finds appeal over repeated listens. Most albums deal with songs on an pickup&letdown basis or vice versa; this temperate choice allows for a certain mood to set in long enough before progression is made. Things are echo-y here...and melodic in a sense of dream-like waves and thrusts that leave you lying in the white crystals or shadowed in the moss of a deeper sesshin. Boris really stand out here less as climax enthusiasts as compared to newer releases; they come in quietly, make harsh strokes and leave bruises. Scene 2 is a druggy sort of awakening...like the first moments after a car crash...you know something big has just happened. It reminds me a bit of Earth in many ways; I guess a lil' twang on guitar reminds me of highways. The record really achieves an unmistakable enormity in The Dead Angle Which It Continues Showing; Boris show their discipline in the way of sustain and movement in the waves of vibrations taking place that close attention to every second pays off with a trembling mood in its wake. A Bao A Qu could be familiar to some; though I think this version, like most of the other variations, is quite different in many ways and fits more with the flow of this installment and, really series overall. It's a carefully placed flagship song, but intelligently placed just as much. Like most things I love for a long time, I did not enjoy this series upon initial listens, but I'm sure most of you interested in Boris will find it's charm more and more over time; particularly when listening to the entirety of the series. Give it a few tries...I've found it to be one of the most fulfilling reminders of why I am a Boris fan.

Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 4 - Seasons


This is the sole track from the remaining 4th volume of Boris' "Japanese Heavy Rock Hits 7" Vinyl Series." I'm gonna go ahead and assume that if you're here, you're resourceful enough to know where to find the rest of the non-exclusive singles or you've purchased them and did not order the limited package deal that included this rare gem. Either way...


enjoy.

Beneath The Blackened Earth - And The Dead Will Outnumber The Living




This album was recorded by me during the spring of 2009 (with the exception of "Rise Of The Inferi" which was recorded in winter of 2008). It's concept is one centered around a great devastation that leaves virtually no life left on our planet. The arising by-product is mutated animal-life, eradicated plant-life and virtually no humans to speak of save for the shambling undead masses that now roam the planet. The sounds used to reflect desolate atmosphere and unruly creatures are heavy guitar distortions, primitive percussive instruments, minimal vocals and unconventional "abuse" of instrumentation both physically and in production. I hope the rest speaks for itself. It was quite a joy to record this first foray into darkness of a dying world.


Satan, bless Mediafire.

FIRST ACT !?!?






Ok, soooo....this is Takeshi's newest beast...a double-necked guitar/bass combo (of course). What makes this particularly interesting to me is how i failed to find any other listings of such an instrument having been made for mass public. This leads me to believe that ol' Takky has acted as purveyor of some Custom First Act Cult. I DID, however find a LINK on the manufacturer's website talking about a new doubleneck model design...but alas, nothing on the subject of this black and white beauty you see above you. And just when I was wondering why Boris have the First Act logo featured on some of their newer (2009) releases; even more so was "...what the hell would any of the members of Boris use out of the First Act assortment? Certainly not the guitar strings...or the distortion pedals...or the band-in-a-box...maybe the chromatic tuner? The plectrums?"

Another interesting point to me here is that First Act is more or less better known for introductory level instruments and equipment. Most of the items in their catalogue are priced at lower-end consumer levels (for poor-asses) and usually feature photography depicting children using the items more often than adults. What kid is gonna need to find his musical purpose on this hoss? And how the hell is he gonna lift it!?

I think the lesson here is that Boris do what Boris do.

Which is whatever the fuck fits.

BORIS Translated Lyrics

Akuma No Uta


Ibitsu


infinite metamorphosis connecting worthlessness
"AKUMADEMO AKUMANONAI"
won't be weathered away
keep on being
hate formulas
worthless rites

distorted intentions
EVIL intentions

do not resist, eat up the will
up above the awareness
sand storming
I will keep on being

no need for forced logic

want to achieve this wicked formation
deform the sign of retaliation

with the light of the rite
let it come out

want to get ecstacy from this wicked formation
deform the sign of retaliation


Furi


I want to know
about your weary remembrance
I want to sneak
around your obsession

I already know
about your shaking remembrance
I've already got
to your obsessed innermost

stab, fabrication, breach
sob, falsification, betrayal
stab, fabrication, breach
sob, falsification, betrayal

it's mistaken
five hundreds patches for misunderstandings
onto your organized remembrance
entangled and tucked
"concreteness" turns the doorknob
just a little and break with familiarity
with ease

stab, fabrication, breach
sob, falsification, betrayal
stab, fabrication, breach
sob, falsification, betrayal



Naki Kyoku



sequel to this ending

all the sorrow

waiting for it
sequel to this beginning
all the agony

waiting for it
please don't let it pass
please don't hesitate



Ano Onna no Onryo



those stone-like eyes know my ending
"cast shadow"
that femme whispers without a blink,
I only hear persisting echo
with her hair waving, la danse des morts
"I'm gonna be taken away"

losing the sky this eye want to see
losing the color this eye want to see
and for you

this hand knows my ending
"nails that touch the evil"
the gauzy figure of the femme
eludes with vague voice without touching
she spills out doom
I can see it from the shape of her lips
"I'm gonna be invaded"

losing the pain this hand want to feel
losing the shape this hand want to take
and for me

tried to escape, but in vain
dragged into malevolent singing, and burnt in ashes
then I see no ending

Pink



PINK



I knew that, but I chose it
You knew that, but you chose it
You chose it after ignoring why, with no time to look back
No eyes to meet, but a smile you made

What color would I use to paint all over
To open your eyes

In a line, trying to kill off the dizziness
In an agony, trying to make the reason

In a line, without averting the eyes, as always
Knowing the reaction, making an empty attempt to make the reason

"The reason why ... well, I can't tell"
And such a smile
"My eyes are ... just reflecting"
And such a smile,
painful smile

Following the line,
It's all so superficial, all these eye-contacts
that are going back to the lies

In a line, as always, without averting the eyes
Knowing the reaction, making an empty attempt to make the reason
Already I knew it


WOMAN ON THE SCREEN



Lowered winding look, and obscure wet sound
The more swirling, the more craze in your dance
Winding slowly you give a gaze
It's partly because you are weak,
isn't it better to have your fingers
in your mouth?

Lies coming near, I think I'm going to be broken up
Throwing away all the mirrors, tack them back of the door
Anyway after some violent moments, you'd be cracked
It won't take too long for you to stop
You'll vomit, trying to seize a headless image of future

I'll open the doors
And I'll stub you
That will fill your fantasy
Hey I'll penetrate it



NOTHING SPECIAL


It sits here, the dark anxiety
It sits here, now it's waiting
Somewhat flippant, somewhat damp, it's mid-day

Quite right, you can blame the night when you see it

Just like me
It sits somewhere, it sits somewhere far
The darkness now sits

This is the end, you know

It sits, the anxious darkness
It touches, and it turns red

Somewhat flippant usual day, and this is the end



BLACKOUT



By-standers, who claim to be innocent, who are just looking on
Look at this, I'm gathering up all the filth, I will show it to you

You can't change anything

Black out



SIX, THREE TIMES



Now, there's no one around here on the floor
Look, it's always cutting apart
Make a call, press six, three times
Sing now

Happy lies, made by the evil thingy
Let them talk, just like that
Fill the vacuum with your empty loose words

You always say the word
You know it's wiwa, spit it out
Here are the answers you want,
Shuffle

Fill the vacuum, one-man show, a total nonsense
Fill the vacuum

Re-dial only




AFTERBURNER




When you feel the chill - "flame, watered down"
It's always like this - "too lazy"
When you feel you're going insane - "flame, watered down"
It's always like this - "just pour it down"

Overflow
Take a sip

Now, look at me
You'll be knocked out

It's been like this,
I've always found it's like this

Image, can't control, let it overflow - "indeed"
Image, can't control, let it overflow - "isn't it?"

a bunch of them falling down, happily and randomly

When you feel the chill - "disappear"
When was it that was like this - "disappear"
When was it that it was like this - "flame, watered down"





PSEUDO-BREAD



Mornin' and dizzy
Shaken and awaken
Not such a good start, my head not very clear

Starvin' and lookin'
Kickin' at these empty boxes
Where's my cereal?
No room for cherry-pickin'

Crampin' reason
Floodin' guesses
Here's the pseudo-bread
Puttin' it on a chipped plate

I've eaten the side I can see
What's inside? Not yet

A line of glasses, you're made to buy them
Who made you buy them?
With these designs that every one knows

Shut the fuck up, I already knew that!
(The water in the glass goes silent.)
Shut the fuck up, I already knew that!
(The water in the glass spills out.)

You think you see, well what do you see?
It's me that I see now

"Generally" is doubtin'
"Basically" is betrayed
"Better than nothing" is no fun

I've eaten the side I can't see
What's inside? Insane butter

La la la ... betrayed it



FAREWELL


Farewell
It's long gone, gone away
Words were almost lost and gone

I felt it was far away, even if it was near
I felt I could reach at least

Ready-made answers are here, sitting like a guidepost
And always tries to deliver
I turn away from those kind of things
Get up and go, my will
Just wave a good-bye

Farewell


JUST ABANDONED MY-SELF



What is it on your mind, eyes close shut, with no words
What is it on your mind, ears tight shut, overwhelming

The proof that you want to cry

Afraid of "the present", loaded with the past,
and you suffer from thirst
Afraid of the future, losing "the present",
and you lose and you suffer from thirst

Think of THE ONE THAT RULES and superimpose the image remaining
What is it on your mind, with your eyes swollen up
You know how to make a choice?

The world keeps dying, THE ONE keeps dying
If there is THE ONE, therefore I am

Reverse the meaning, question myself
All these meanings superimposed are covering up
and question my-self
See what is ahead after making a choice?

Get over the meaning, grab
Turn it over, grab
Get over the meaning, grab
And question my-self

Agonizing noises are now put in a line
This bunch of strings are now roaring, dazzling
Blurred sights are now gone
I am here, and everywhere else

Blurred sights are now gone
I am there, and everywhere else


Rainbow (With Michio Kurihara)


RAFFLESIA


Something continuous that connects grey scenes
Something blurred that is off-frame, illuminating tones
You are looking at the sky that is going to be shakier



RAINBOW



Something continuous that connects grey scenes
Something blurred that is off-frame, illuminating tones
You are looking at the sky that is going to be shakier
Something swinging that could be a pendulum
Something dark that is deteriorating, illuminating tones
Raindrops are falling, and touching you
Flicking off the droplets gently, feeling the breeze
We'll have the same colours
Flood of colours that replaces the grey scenes
An amplified swing that blows up the tones
Without touching, could I ever change?
When will it be, could I ever tell?
Without touching, could I ever change?
Raindrops are gaining colours
Flicking off the droplets gently, feeling the breeze
We'll be looking at the same sky



STARSHIP NARRATOR



Now I'm telling
Everybody has known that there is never any entity
The charade is over now
The effect of illumination that is of no principle, that's dazzingly slow-motion
So let us begin watching the sequel
Everybody has been saying that they are all pretending
The charade is over now
Elaborate agreements, those tormentors
So let us go, far beyond the space
At the backstage of the easy threats, gasping voice of narration
At the backstage of the easy wonders, cunning voice of narration that pretends there are things we know we don't know



SHINE




Bewitched
But with no touch
Brightness only within
Dreams, empty dreams
Be ready for
Despair, not for desire
Because now I do know at heart
There is nothing there
And I find myself standing and
Looking out to the shining glare



YOU LAUGHED LIKE A WATERMARK



The sunlight, bright gleam, is an eyesore
You are by the window
My sense of depth is confused
Your shadow stretches out on the wall like an ornament
It looks so frail that it could fall off
This is so familiar to me
You are yearning for the sun
I know you are trying to make yourself look fragile
So fragile that you look transparent in the sun
You may not know, but your staging it irritates me
A dissenter of the sun
A dweller in the shadow
A wistful gesture, a wishful thinking
You are just lost in reverie, it's you as I see
Trying to clip down the sunlight
You have used thousands of hair pins that are
Now scattered around there in your room
Your profile that looks as though you're looking at those pinned-up dreams of your own
Accelerated melancholy, that's yours
You smile back at me, but it's so empty
Oh I know you know too much
Oh that empty that empty gesture of your
I know you don't know you are empty inside



SWEET No. 1



Wrapped up in a sheet of mud
Immortal laughter, infinite afternoon
Balanced on a seesaw made of mud
Beginning to melt like sticky clammy candies
Sticky clammy candies, still so sleepy
Must keep it mine, my sweetness, it must keep on and on
So sweet noon mud, sweet mud
Too sweet mud, mud wrapped trap
Sweet sleeps, mired in the muddy mud




Smile


BUZZ-IN

Ah, how I adore this hair-do, it's blown up!
The gloves are high up, how I shiver and quiver!
Now, I am here to show my love and allegiance,
hurry up, go and dance to the ear-splitting sound!
Lesson two!
BUZZ-IN, the guitarist has his pocket turned out and shown
BUZZ-IN, he wears a purple bikini, and he has two sticks sticking out
of it, on his right and left
Here comes a big mosh!
"OMG, the music hasn't started yet!"
Can't resist this vibration
Can't resist this vibration
Can't resist this vibration
Can't resist this vibration
Yeah it rocks my ribs
Yeah it crashes my ribs
Yeah it rocks my ribs
Yeah it crashes my ribs
"You know, Joe was wearing a witch hat!"

LASER BEAM

You want some pain, you get it tonight
It eats up your mind, the trap of darkness
Shout it out! No way! You are chained
and you are tame, until you overcome the pain
You've got to crush the darkness named control
You've got to destroy the darkness named system
You're chained and manipulated
You're driveling, being kissed by the pain
For it, you've got the rock 'n' roll
The roll of thunder, thirst for pain,
it evokes the dizzy sensation
You've got to kill the darkness named isolation
Hear the roam, get yourself free
The pain, it's always stalking you
The pain, it's got to be overcome
Let it go, the fang of volume, here! Let it go, the fang of volume, now!
Let it go, the fang of volume, here! Let it go, the fang of volume, now!

STATEMENT

Responses with no substance, the meter indicates "ignore"
Find out someone who shares your forename and last name
Stimulate the same spot deliberately
I'll lure it out, the wet system of yours
Oh, I'm a wanderer, I'll just keep singing this annoying song
Laughing, laughing, laughing, la-li-lu-li-la-lu-la
Laughing, laughing, laughing, la-li-lu-li-la-lu-la
Just laughing
This is our STATEMENT
Quick responses, you're on high alert,
illuminated in an unfamiliar colour
Don't stop, you're begging, holding your breath
Usual handling, here's the message I'm pouring into you
I see some surface condensation, the fluorescent yellow is now wet
Oh, I'm a wanderer, I'll just keep singing this annoying song

MY NEIGHBOR SATAN

The ideal, he seems quite uneasy,
is almost crying, and he just sits there.
He's got a pair of dark, innocent eyes.
"So tell me." The lies quivers together. "Tell me, don't shy away." Scared.
"Tell me." The lies squeeze each other, very tightly.
This is like a prayer, I thought, till the night came.
Bring it down, you've got the blade in your left hand. Don't hesitate.
Trying to or not trying to terminate, he has some tears in his eyes.
Caught off-guard, his eyes give somewhat dismayed look,
with the innocence deep inside.
Look, it's so wistful. Why, why do you blame me?
The melody penetrates his chest, and stops him crying.
The melody penetrates his chest, and makes him pray.
It drives him insane, oh he still has those innocent eyes.
It makes him pray.
"How does it feel to be driven insane?"
He still has it in the chest, it seems.
Somehow he feels it's inside of himself.
The Satan might have given him nowhere to go.
It's sticking into his chest, and it's the Satan.

KA RE HA TE TA SA KI - NO ONE'S GRIEVE

Totally dried out, even tears are no more.
They were singing a song, they were sand-coloured, they were left behind.
Where did they go? Where's the sorrow that bloomed over me?
He's singing for more than ten decades, is this right? He knows or he knows not,
nobody knows for sure. But it suddenly turned out true. It is now officially true. They plan
it, and he's besieged by countless nights, and it sucks him dry. Yeah it's as if the world
has sucked him dry. The wind feels heavy. They say now he looks like the night. His face,
well, the worlds have become stars, being blamed for all of this, is this right?
NO.
Totally dried out, nothing comes out of me. Nothing it can do for me, I've got to bury the
darkness. Even when I'm doing it. I get thirstier and thirstier. But there is no darkness left to
be painted over. Well, you know what I mean.
Morning light. How I wish for it.
You know what I mean.
Where does the sound come from, they wonder and look out.
They strain their ears to catch it.
DRIED OUT. What can be seen?
DRIED OUT. What are you watching?
HE'S OUT THERE, and shows a smile.
When the morning comes, they will...

YOU WERE HOLDING AN UMBRELLA

I saw beads of rain running down on your umbrella, wondering when I could tell you
that I was hoping you would see everything in your dream. In a dream I am waiting,
and when I open my eyes to find out you aren't there. In a rain I am still waiting with my
eyes wide open so as not to be waken from this dream. I am dreaming of your wet hair
sticking onto your face, or drenched shoulder and fixed eyes that are gazing
When I catch your fingers reaching me, I can superimpose my dream in my dream.
I had a dream of you, blaming me. You were pointing your fingers at my eyes.
You blamed me in my dream. Always you laughed at my eyes.
The leaden sky conceals colors, making someone look down who isn't afraid of rain
The rain of betrayal sinks the dream. The whirl is taller than me, at which I make a
scream. I get swallowed, and carried away. I can't see anymore. Where's the umbrella
gone? I can't see. I hear a voice, deep inside. I'm going to search for you.
I hear a voice, and when I finally find it, my dream would come true.

I think now I can close my eyes. I've been blinded.

[ ]

She is destined to fall and fester while whispering,
a sweaty woman.
The usual tactics, her second nature,
She is inviting me on the game board.
No use doubting any more,
just can't resist and get abducted,
Let me be inside, tight-closed,
with the square grids filled up, this will never be completed
Forbidden beings, the game begins, tumble of the dice
She spurs me. She makes me get some more speed.
Have just buried all the distress in the scnet of the skin
Have just realized everything has been assimilated
Ah, never know what happened, Am so Complicated.

FLOORSHAKER

I found a ripped ear on the floor
This must be yours
I found the sand stained darkred
But still now you must be dancing
I'm here far from you and I'm thinking of you

On this empty forlon dancefloor
You're crazily dancing crying and wailing
There is no music to be heard or is there any?
I am on the edge of the earth
The sky is burning red and is being shaken

You're dancing something is missing
I'm thinking of you who is missing

The deafening sound is here to flood
You're seeing this the roar is deafening

Is here to overwhelm you
Is just here to overwhelm you




Chapter Ahead Being Fake (Split w/Torche)


Luna

Wondering what the moon shines down on
Wonder what it is that it's describing on the sand
It's reflected on the waves
Better be forgotten
And storm on into the night, in tears

Getting washed away by the familiar future
Getting carried away by the flooding lights
Getting washed away by the conceived future
Getting duped by the phases of the moon

Luna. Flashing. Sand. I ran
Once. Yours. it was vaporizing.
Left. Out. Alone.

Because you're waning.


Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 3


16:47:52...

Winds blowing through the buildings make me lonely
I couldn't wait until 19:00
I was chased away by the evening sun
I couldn't help but sigh out loud

There are people all over here, walking up and down
This evening glow just before the sunset reminds me of you
This evening glow is shining brightly on a stray cloud
I couldn't help but sigh, it is just like me
And it walks away to the neighbouring sky

I can't argue back, can't help but allow
Would like to ask to take me to the soft orange sky, but...

Winds blowing through the buildings make me lonely
I couldn't wait until 19:00
I was chased away by the evening sun
I couldn't help but sigh out loud

There are people all over here, walking up and down
There are people all over here, crying their eyes out




...and hear nothing


"I doubt it."
You are standing there
In awe of
The touchable unknown
In the end
The expectation
Appear and disappear
Appear and disappear

The damned, the intermixed
Beings of the world
Go away from me

So I pray deafeningly
And that is my prayer

Hey Everyone


Me and other two kids
They're satisfied with this!
The show starts at noon tomorrow
I have this heavy pair of castanets
I don't want to do this!
They made me have these
This is not my choice!
Everyone, hey, everyone

Standing still...
I'm gonna make no movement on the stage!
I don't know why
They make me sing this song!
Everyone! Together! One, two, three...
And they're getting worried
They're looking into each other's face!

Who cares, 1, 2, XU
Say Yeah! 1, 2, XU

I have this heavy pair of castanets
I don't want to do this!
Who's that "everyone"?
This mindless bunch?

Everyone, hey, everyone
Who cares?
