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.
