Boris is a Japanese experimental trio from Tokyo, formed in 1992 by drummer Atsuo, guitarist/bassist Takeshi, and guitarist/keyboardist Wata. Spanning drone, sludge, noise, shoegaze, and psychedelic rock - often within a single record - they have released more than 28 studio albums on labels across the world. The band is best known for the monumental double album 'Flood' (2000), the breakthrough record 'Pink' (2005), and a long-running creative partnership with noise artist Merzbow.
Boris announced a major Europe and UK tour in October-November 2026 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album 'Pink', the band's first visit to the region in three years.
Boris performed at Roadburn Festival in Tilburg with two separate anniversary sets: a 20-year set for 'Pink' and a 25-year set for 'Flood'.
Boris released the live album 'Boris Live Noise Alive' on Bandcamp - a recording from the final concert of the Japan tour in 2014.
Boris released a split 5-inch with the Czech powerviolence band Skiplife via 625 Productions and Mighty Morphine Power Violence.
Boris released the collaborative album 'Hello There' with Coaltar of the Deepers via Dog Knights Productions.
