Boris and Uniform announce new collaborative album ‘Bright New Disease’
BORIS and UNIFORM have announced a new collaborative album!
Titled Bright New Disease, the upcoming album sees the Japanese experimental rock band teaming up with the American industrial metal band, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Sacred Bones Records.
“On tour, we learned more about the depth of their musicality, which we felt was compatible with our own expression,” BORIS’ Atsuo and Takeshi say of their 2019 tour mates UNIFORM. “They are a band that can be described in many ways—punk, metal, industrial – but they truly excel because they are not locked into any style. They are always experimenting and innovating.” The feeling was mutual.
“UNIFORM have been longtime fans and admirers of BORIS. Supporting them on tour was a dream come true,” says UNIFORM vocalist/electronics wrangler Michael Berdan. Guitarist and producer Ben Greenberg was equally excited by the opportunity to team up with BORIS and shape the recording of Bright New Disease in his studio. “Wata is one of my favourite guitar players ever, so I’m very stoked we got two duelling solo tracks on this record,” Greenberg says, referring to the intertwined guitar leads on Endless Death Agony.
Alongside the announcement of the new collaborative album, the bands have released the first song from the upcoming album; You Are The Beginning.
