Boris (ボリス) is a Japanese power trio, respected amongst musicians, fans, and critics alike for their ability to regularly switch between musical genres from recording to recording without ever losing touch with "their" sound. The band is most commonly associated with the drone metal scene, though they have experimented in psych, noise, ambient, sludge, post-rock, stoner-rock, and even straightforward rock styles.

Taking their name from a cut off of The Melvins' record Bullhead, Boris formed in 1992 and released their first album Absolutego on their own Fangs Anal Satan imprint. Since then, they have released 16 studio albums (including Absolutego), and a slew of EPs, 7" singles, and full-length collaborative recordings, on various record labels across the world.
