The music video for ‘She Is Burning’ aptly captures the chaos of its accompanying single. The band perform surrounded by flames while trumpets blare and fuzzy guitar riffs back singer Atsuo’s frenzied vocals.

Watch the music video for ‘She Is Burning’ below.

‘She Is Burning’ is the opener of the 10-track ‘Heavy Rocks (2022)’. The album will arrive on August 12. Pre-orders for the album’s release on vinyl, CD and cassette tape are available here.

The upcoming album will be the third entry in the band’s ongoing ‘Heavy Rocks’ series, with two prior entries of the same name, released in 2002 and 2011.

Boris said of ‘Heavy Rocks (2022)’ in a press statement via Consequence: “The soul of rock music is constantly evolving. A soul that transcends words and meaning to reach you – instinct, intuition, and fangs. This is the heavy rock of Boris now. As we land on our 30th anniversary, Boris continues to evolve, accelerating the latest and universal. Boris does not lead anyone anywhere. We just keep showing this attitude.”
