Amplifier Worship is the debut studio album by Japanese post-metal band Boris, released originally on November 26, 1998, later reissued by American labels Southern Lord and Third Man in 2003, 2010, and 2024.
This album marks the first time that Takeshi performed lead vocals for the band (although Atsuo performs lead vocals on "Huge"). "Vomitself" was written and laid down separately at Sound Square while the other four songs were recorded at Sound Crew. Japanese production company (and friends of the band) FoodUnited created videos for the songs "Hama" and "Kuruimizu". These were initially only available in 1998 on a promotional VHS but following the band creating their own (subscription) YouTube Channel in 2023, these videos are again available to watch.
