Japanese cult favorite sludge/doom rock trio Boris took their name from a song on grunge godfathers the Melvins' Bullhead album. They also have a lot in common with the Melvins musically, including a fondness for heavily downtuned guitar/bass tones and exceedingly slow tempos.
Don't get tricked by the endless beginning, will pay off like a bomb later on (almost half an hour into the record). This is Boris' most melancholy release, definitely recommended for the self pitying. a variety of pharmaceuticals may enhance the experience, but is definitely not needed.

Les Rallizes Dénudés
Les Rallizes Dénudés are one of the earliest and most revolutionary Japanese psychedelic rock bands, and existed off and on through four decades. The band formed in November of 1967 at Kyoto University, inspired by Exploding Plastic Inevitable-era Velvet Underground as well as the over-amplified rock of Blue Cheer and Mario Schifano's avant-garde ensemble Le Stelle.
Listening to Les Rallizes Dénudés cancels out time. It defies it, in the sense that every listen to it is of arbitrary length. If you put it on repeat you can just soak in it all day long, bass lines that drag on forever and ever. You turn it off, then, your clock resynchronizes to the right time but as long as it's on it creates a world of itself.
