Boris and Merzbow have collaborated on a new record to release Dec. 11, 2020. Titled 2R0I2P0 by Boris with Merzbow, the record contains 10 tracks that merge the pummeling core of Boris' notable catalog with the harsh soundscape tones mastered by Merzbow.

2R0I2P0, the artists explain, means "Twenty Twenty R.I.P.," with Boris adding the statement:

This year was a period of trial for everyone in the world...This work becomes a monument to the requiem of the previous era. From here, a new world begins again.

Check out "Away From You" below. Relapse Records is handling the release.

2R0I2P0 Tracklist:

Away From You
To The Beach
Coma
Love
Absolutego
Journey
Uzume
Evol
Boris
Shadow Of Skull

New Album
Sargent House (2011)

New Album is a bit of a misnomer, at least on this side of the pond. It was actually released all the way back in March in Japan, two months before Heavy Rocks and Attention Please were released globally. The rest of the world had to wait until November to get their paws on it. Somewhat frustratingly, there are actually … Read more

Heavy Rocks
Sargent House (2011)

Boris' sound is defined by their insistence on rocking the fuck out. Their earliest works, like the classic albums Heavy Rocks and Pink, revolve around taking heavy metal and, to borrow from Sp?n?al Tap, taking it up to eleven. These albums have an absolutely huge, dirty quality to them that leaves Boris' peers in the dust. So Boris released their … Read more

On their latest record Immersion, the trio has forced forth … Read more
