Boris And Merzbow Releasing Collaborative Album "Gensho"

Renowned Japanese innovators Boris and Merzbow have teamed up with Relapse for their new collaborative 2xCD/4xLP "Gensho."

Named after the Japanese word for phenomenon, "Gensho" is a unique release featuring over one-hundred-and-fifty minutes of new music spread across two CDs and four LPs (available as two separate double LP sets or a deluxe 4xLP edition).

The Boris songs are percussion-less reinventions of classic tracks from the band's storied catalog, while Merzbow's tracks are entirely new compositions. The two sets are intended to be played at the same time at varying volumes so that the listener can experience their own "gensho/phenomenon" every time. The artists also commented, "of course you can enjoy both albums as a separate work."

The droning experimentation of "Gensho" is due out worldwide this coming March 18th via Relapse Records.
