"In 2025, to mark the 20th anniversary of dronevil, a new version titled dronevil -example- was released.

The original album dronevil was first released in 2005 as a double-vinyl set with four tracks by Misanthropic Agenda. In 2006, two additional tracks were included and the complete version, dronevil -final-, was released as a 2CD set.

The concept was to play the two discs, drone and evil, on separate players and speakers, allowing each listener to mix them in the air of the room at a balance that felt natural to them. With differences in volume balance, playback timing, and distance from each sound, the listening experience was never the same twice. It was a highly conceptual work, celebrated and acclaimed as experimental, but also regarded as challenging due to its concept, and it had long been out of print.

The recently released dronevil -example- is a version in which the simultaneously played discs were stereo-mixed on the Boris side and presented as one example of a reference.

Now, dronevil -final- has been digitized for the first time. To allow new listeners to experience this “masterpiece of experimental + drone metal” in its original concept, it is being released directly from the original sources.

As noted above, disc evil forms a pair with disc drone. Of course, each disc can also be enjoyed individually for the quality of the songs in a straightforward way, but we strongly encourage you to experience it in its intended form, using your smartphone, computer, or other multiple digital playback devices.

We want dronevil -final- to be completed by you, in your own way."
