Dronevil is a double album by Japanese band Boris. The Drone disc's tracks are quieter and fall in the more ambient/drone spectrum of Boris' work. The Evil disc's emphasis is on guitar-work, falling into the doom-metal range of Boris.

The album was originally released on double vinyl in a pressing of 1000 copies; 200 on grey vinyl and 800 on black,[1] but is intended to have both LPs played simultaneously. The artwork for this release was done by Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))).[2]

Dronevil was re-released through Inoxia Records as Dronevil - Final in 2006 on (double) CD format, remastered by Jason Lescalleet with two additional tracks not found on the original release.
