From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Absolutego is the debut album by Japanese experimental doom band Boris. It was released in 1996 by Fangs Anal Satan. This album shows a primitive sort of inspiration from the Melvins. Excluding the Merzbow collaboration Sun Baked Snow Cave, it's the only "one-long-song" Boris album that isn't broken down into multiple parts. Notably, up until Amplifier Worship, Takeshi had been called "Ohtani." Whether that may be a nickname or his surname (in recent years, Atsuo's last name has been revealed to be Mizuno) is unknown. In 2001 Southern Lord Records re-released this album as Absolutego+ and included a bonus track.
