After school yesterday I went and saw Boris play in store at Criminal Records. It was pretty sweet seeing that much amp in one tiny little area of the store. Obviously I knew Sevanada was more than likely going to get a good listen from across the street but that didnt stop me from the excitement. While they were setting up I got to hear Atsuo(the drummer) doing sound check, he had so much delay and reverb in the drum monitors, it was pretty crazy since i had never heard drums sound anything like that before. When it was finally time for them to start playing, all you could here was the resonance from all four guitarists jamming on their E-Bows. It was like some long drawn out opus with nothing but distortion and feedback present. After about 5 minutes of complete guitar onslaught, Atsuo came out from behind the back and started going crazy on the gong from behind the drum throne. Everything the band played was so polished and precise, it blows my mind how bands even rehearse music like that. I wish they would have played "The Sinking Belle," off of Altar but thats just wishful thinking. Check out there new record Rainbow.
