Today we're pleased to share news of live shows on the horizon in support of the album and their 25th Anniversary, including festival appearances, all dates below:- BORIS 25 ANNIVERSARY / DEAR TOUR DATES 03/08 - Moscow, Volta - RU 04/08 - St. Petersburg, ClubZal - RU 05/08 - Vienna, Szene - AT 06/08 - Katowice, OFF Festival - PL 07/08 - Leipzig, Naumans - DE 08/08 - Berlin, Lido - DE 09/08 - Jaromer, Brutal Assault - CZ 10/08 - Munich, Backstage - DE 11/08 - Frankfurt, Das Bett - DE 12/08 - Lausanne, Rock Altitude - CH 13/08 - Leper, Ieperfest - BE 15/08 - Cologne, Underground - DE 16/08 - Hamburg, Hafenklang - DE 17/08 - Bielefeld, Forum - DE 18/08 - Amstelveen, P60 - NL 19/08 - Bristol, Arctangent Festival - UK 20/08 - Dublin, Whelans - IE 21/08 - Cork, Cyprus Avenue - IE 23/08 - Belfast - Limelight - UK 25/08 - Helsinki - Nosturi - FI Dear marks the band’s 25th year of existence and while the 10-track album is chock-full of early-Boris calling cards, the avant-garde ravens aren’t learning on old tricks, describing the album as “heavenly—far beyond heavy.” Boris have shared the album’s first single and magnificent new music video “Absolutego”. Though Boris have traversed a broad swath of sonic territories, they have always been consistently embraced the excess, pushing their myriad of approaches and stylistic forays to points of intoxicating absurdity. Eventually the band reached a crossroads in the early years of their third decade together, leaving them wondering if there were any new horizons left to explore. The renewed vitality yielded an album that fortifies their monolithic wall of sound while also allowing the individual band members to explore the nuances and intricacies of minimalist riffs played at maximum volume. Songwriting for Dear initially yielded three albums’ worth of material by the end of 2015, but as the band was slated to spend a large chunk of 2016 on their “Performing Pink” worldwide tour, they decided to hold off on releasing any new material. The tour further rekindled their passion for the craft, spurring the band to return home to crank out even more new material while scaling down three records’ worth of sonic deluge down to one. From the glacial pacing and earthquaking rumble of the album opener to the smouldering rock ’n roll-infused “Absolutego”, Boris have managed to find wildly thrilling work in the familiar trenches of metal. Never ones to shy away from a challenge, the trio carves even experiments with fuzz fuelled dream pop. “At the very first moment, this album began as some kind of potential farewell note of Boris,” the band said. “However, it became a sincere letter to fans and listeners… you know, like ‘Dear so-and-so, this is the new album from Boris’ or something like that. We feel so grateful we can release this album in our 25th anniversary year.” Dear will be released to the world on July 14, 2017 on CD, 2xLP, and digital formats. Stay tuned for more news to come.

This highly anticipated debut album with astounding 14 brand new tracks is entitled ‘This Is The Sound’. “In less than a year we’ve formed a new band, written an album and come up with what we believe is our sound. This is who we are and we’re looking forward to what happens with it!” - Anna Murphy "This is it: this is the result of nearly one year of incredibly intense creativity, of ups and downs, of loss and gain. This is the most personal work of our lives. This Is The Sound.” - Merlin Sutter The band showcased their freshly recorded songs two weeks ago for the very first time: "We’ve had the best time at our show in Lucerne earlier this month!", the band states. "For the first time, we got to play our brand new and freshly recorded songs live for you. We only wish that all of you who couldn’t make it, but who showed us such amazing support in the last year, could have been there with us. It was a magical and unique experience and we can’t wait for more.” This was Cellar Darling’s very first performance after producing their debut album at New Sound Studio, under the watchful ear of the legendary producer and guitarist Tommy Vetterli (Coroner, Eluveitie). After an incredibly successful first show, the band will bring their new material, exclusively pre-release, to a few select clubs in Europe at the beginning of May.
