Official press release:
More than 30 years since their inceptions, Melvins and Boris remain at the forefront of heavy music. Last year, they co-headlined the Twins of Evil tour where they grew close and agreed to release a split with the help of legendary label Amphetamine Reptile Records. Now, 2024 brings the Melvins/Boris Twins of Evil album.
Available on CD and incoming on vinyl on June 30th, the release features two songs: Side A from Melvins (an exclusive edit of “Funny Equals Pain”, Side B from Boris (“Cry -狂叫-“). Both songs are high concept, running around the 20 minute mark, with a strong emphasis on listening on analog record format.
The limited-edition vinyl will be an instant sell-out for which collectors around the world will be waiting. Pre-order here and check out a teaser that features footage of the first on-stage collaboration with Boris from Melvins’ Japan tour this year.
Additionally, this fall, Boris will trek across North America performing all of the songs off of their beloved first album, Amplifier Worship. Featuring two drummers and an extended backline, this will be a Boris tour not to miss.
For this tour Boris are taking along Starcrawler, a band that “…intensifies the prayer of rock ‘n’ roll. This only takes us further into the beyond, embarking on this worship service. Welcome to the ceremony!” comments Boris. Purchase tickets fo the tour here.
