A collaborative reimagining where Merzbow’s abrasive noise textures consume Boris’s melodic sludge, creating a dense, apocalyptic wall of sound for 2020.
December 11, 2020 · Relapse Records
This isn't just a metal album; it is a sonic autopsy of a year in crisis. By layering Merzbow's legendary harsh noise over the tracks from their previous album, Boris creates a claustrophobic yet strangely beautiful experience. It sounds like a radio station picking up signals from two different dimensions simultaneously: one playing heavy, melancholic rock and the other broadcasting the heat death of the universe. The listener is placed directly in the center of this interference, where the physical weight of the bass and the sharp edge of the electronics create a sense of total immersion.

The writing leans far further into death mortality than the rest of the catalogue.
