Noise (Boris album)

Noise is the twenty-first studio album by the Japanese experimental rock band Boris, released in 2014. Characterized by a blend of elements from their diverse discography, Noise incorporates aspects of drone, metal, shoegaze, and pop.

The album is often described as a culmination of Boris's exploration of different genres throughout their career, representing a synthesis of their heavy and more melodic tendencies.
