BORIS  Absolutego  2 x LP   (Southern Lord)   24.99
Absolutego IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

��� This pulverizing drone-metal classic from 1996 has been out of print for years now, but we recently stumbled across a stack of the vinyl version that Southern Lord put out in 2010, hidden away in some dark corner in the bowels of one of our suppliers warehouses. Move quick, as quantities are limited. Here's the ancient writeup on this album I did way back when the original Southern Lord CD came out:

���More than a decade after they were originally released, the first two Boris albums are finally making an appearance on vinyl courtesy of Southern Lord, who has reissued Absolutego and Amplifier Worship on 180 gram vinyl in gorgeous heavyweight tip-on gatefold jackets that feature new package design from Stephen O'Malley.

���Here's the crucial 1996 debut album from Japanese power drone / sludge / metal trio Boris, released domestically on doom metal powerhouse Souther Lord. This Super Low Frequency Version (an obvious reference to the Earth influence splattered all over this album) gives you new artwork and an additional bonus track, "Dronevil2", for a combined 2 tracks in 73 minutes, with "Absolutego" clocking in at close to 65 minutes (here split across multiple sides of the multi-album set by way of some creative editing). Freaking monolithic feedback-soaked slomo glacial drone-sludge. An essential part of the contemporary drone metal canon alongside Sunn O))) , Khanate, Growing, Isis, and Earth.
