Japanese experimental rock legends Boris are celebrating the 20 Year Anniversary of landmark albums Pink and dronevil with special editions of each release, incoming October 17 from Relapse.
The iconic album Pink will be available for the first time in a decade as a 20th Anniversary Reissue featuring the original CD sequence as a 2XLP for the first time ever, with an exclusive D side etching on the vinyl. Additionally, Pink will see a deluxe reissue box set with a limited edition 6XLP collection including 3 LP’s worth of unreleased music. The deluxe box set features the original vinyl version of Pink, expanded “Forbidden Tracks” from the Pink sessions, live material never before released on vinyl and previously unreleased rough mixes.
Boris’ classic album dronevil will be available for the first time since its original release; two different albums of soaring ambient space and frenetic headbanging rock ‘n’ roll meant to be played at the same time. This new edition is a joint 2XLP mix available for the very first time on vinyl and is titled dronevil – example -.
Preorders are available from Relapse direct and on Bandcamp (Pink, dronevil).
Additionally, Boris will embark on a 20th Anniversary Tour this October and November in North America where Pink will be performed by the three-piece lineup from that era. The tour will feature the very setlist that once boldly repainted the map of heavy rock with its vivid sonic colors.
