In 2024, Boris will undergo a tour performing all the songs off their first album. We have already reached a
quarter-century since the release of that 1st album, “Amplifier Worship”. Boris has been in constant pursuit
of their own ideal “heavy” since their formation in 1992. From the outset they became like a chimera,
evolving at a rapid pace, establishing a unique style with extreme downtuning and megavolume. Their
broad sense of “Heavy Rock” swelled grotesquely, as it engulfed powerviolence, ambient and drone, with
a trance component of krautrock and so on.
From Tokyo to the world, Boris spread out from the underground community to have their name become
more widely known. Five years after their formation, Boris went deep into the beyond of heavy music to
make their first album, one that can be said to be a palace constructed in unexplored realms. However, the
album by no means serves as a peaceful "end" or resting place/"gravestone" for those compositions.
Rather, it was a map to the “beyond” that Boris drew up at the time, a blueprint pointing to the future. 25
years after the release of "Amplifier Worship", that guidance has been revealed: a full length tour for
performing all of the songs on the album in a double-drum-format Drone Set.
As a pioneering effort in Drone Metal, a palace under the name of "Amplifier Worship" was constructed and
revealed as both a point of departure as well as a destination. Amplified oscillations and volume, going from
anguish to pleasure and back, being in fear as well as in awe at what can be called heavy— we venture
into this palace of worship together.
For this tour Boris are taking along Starcrawler, a band that intensifies the prayer of rock 'n' roll. This only

The Melvins are one of modern music’s most influential bands. Having formed in 1983 Montesano, Washington, the group - founded by vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne, with drummer Dale Crover joining a year later - has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all their own. Over their 40-plus-year career, they’ve released more than 30 original albums, numerous live records, and far too many to count singles and rarities. Recent releases include 2024’s Tarantula Heart, a really good collection of what the Melvins do, what they can do and what they want to do, and Five Legged Dog (2021), an ambitious 36-track acoustic collection that reimagines their heaviest songs alongside covers of their favorite artists. Throughout their discography, the Melvins have collaborated with Jello Biafra, Mudhoney, and Fantômas for individual releases and toured the world many times over. Remarkably, they had the misfortune to be in both Christchurch and Tokyo for their 2011 earthquakes. In 2012, the Melvins completed the “51 States in 51 Days” (50 states +DC) tour, which was chronicled in the film “Across The USA in 51 Days.” The currentincarnation of the band is Osborne, Crover, and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross). Previous line- ups included a pairing of Osborne and Crover with Jared Warren and Coady Willis of Big Business, a four-piece featuring the current trio plus Butthole Surfers’ Jeff Pinkus, as well as Melvins Lite, which partners Osborne and Crover with Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn. Sometimes, if you’re extra lucky, one version of the Melvins will open for the Melvins.
