Dronevil is the eighth studio album by the Japanese experimental band Boris. It is a double album: the first LP, Drone, showcases a more ambient sound, while the second LP, Evil, showcases a heavy guitar-oriented doom metal sound. Though the two sides can be heard separately, the original intention is for both to be played simultaneously.[1]
The album was originally released on double vinyl with the artwork for this release done by Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))).[2] 1,000 copies were pressed of this album, 200 of which were printed on grey vinyl with the other 800 copies pressed on black vinyl.[3]
The album was re-released through Inoxia Records in 2006 under the name Dronevil -Final- on (double) CD format. This version includes two additional tracks not found on the original release.
An alternate mix of "The Evil One Which Sobs"/"Interference Demon" appears on Heavy Metal Me, while a live version appears on Archive II.
In 2025, a remixed version of the album, titled Dronevil -Example-, was announced, to be released by Relapse Records. This release included new versions of the songs previously released on Dronevil -Final-, with each pair of songs combined into a single new song.[4]
