Boris Announce "Pink" Reissue +North America Summer Tour

It seems like only yesterday we published our write-up of the legendary Japanese metal band Boris. In fact, it WAS yesterday. This morning, the kings (and queen) of drone doom announced that they would be reissuing their seminal record “Pink” for the album’s 10th anniversary. In addition to the reissue, Boris will release an extra disc of unreleased content from that era, called “Forbidden Songs”. “Forbidden Songs” will feature, among others, the track “Are You Ready?” which can be heard below. Spoiler: it's HARD, it's HEAVY, it's classic Boris at their finest.

To commemorate this incredible event, Boris will be touring in support of “Pink”, playing the album in full from front to back, similar to what they did with their latest full-length effort “Noise”. The reissue includes “long versions”of a couple songs, most notably “Farewell”. Read our Throwback Thursday article on “Pink” to know just how incredible this album is, and why this is an event which should not be missed.

Boris will embark on their tour in the summer, with support from fellow doom legends EARTH. The trio will be hitting up cities all over the US, so make sure you don’t miss out! The “Pink” reissue will be hitting shelves on July 8th as a 3x LP box set or a 2x CD set, or through digital download on most distributors, all on July 8th. Save that date!
