BORIS (Japan – Southern Lord)
UNA CORDA
MOTHER TRUCKER
“Southernlords’ favorite, and most
excellent Japanese power trio; BORIS are back with another offering
from their eclectic catalog. Akuma No Uta is a 39 minute, six song
album that offers up a variety of styles from past Boris albums,
drawing from the heavier-than-thou rumble of Absolutego and
Amplifier Worship (both previously released on Southern Lord), to
the exquisite beauty of Flood, and the sheer jams-out-kickin’ of
Heavy Rocks.”
Una corda hail from Birmingham, England. Featuring two
guitarists, two bass players and una drummer, the band features
ex-members of illustrious underground acts-Cradle, Marker, Ackbar
and Mistress. Their unorthodox line up makes heavy music for light
sleepers, a darkly melodic epic soundscape carved out with black
headspinning riffs.

success” – Metal Hammer (Demo of the month)
