Boris celebrates its 30th year as a group attributed for being an innovative rock band following its recent release of Heavy Rocks. The new album comes from its series of various Heavy Rocks releases and will match their previous sound that “channels the classic proto-metal sounds of the 70s into something all-new,” the press release reads.
“The world has changed over the last two years. Everyone’s thinking is simpler and pragmatic,” Boris notes on the new album. Now, it is easier for everyone to grasp what is important to each of us. We leave it to the future and pass it on. The soul of rock music is constantly evolving. A soul that transcends words and meaning to reach you – instinct, intuition, and fangs. This is the heavy rock of Boris now. As we land on our 30th anniversary, Boris continues to evolve, accelerating the latest and universal. Boris does not lead anyone anywhere.We just keep showing this attitude.”
Boris’ album release was accompanied by a video of “She is Burning” which is available now. The full tracklist for Heavy Rocks can be found below the video.
