Borracho are back with their sixth studio album “Ouroboros“— a searing, riff-driven assault on the cycle of societal decay. Due out this August on Ripple Music, the record channels the ancient symbol of self-destruction into a blistering critique of modern ills: mental health crises, authoritarian oppression, and cultural rot. Stripping back the Psychedelic explorations of their last two releases, the power trio delivers a straight-up, take-no-prisoners Hard Rock manifesto. Badass riffing, groove-heavy swagger, in-your-face vocals and unrelenting energy drive home their message: humanity is devouring itself, and Borracho are here to soundtrack the chaos. Fans of Orange Goblin, Clutch and The Obsessed should love this!
About the song, the band comments:
In the future, the Earth and everything we know is reduced to a subterranean hellscape ruled by a single global supercomputer. This computer, this machine, passes the time torturing the half-dozen humans still alive. It controls their movements, disfigures them, and keeps them alive. Adapted from the Harlan Ellison short story “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream,” this song revisits a five-decade-old story as an all-too-accurate description of our near future, if not current present.

Borracho is a veteran Heavy Rock trio from Washington, D.C. Over 15 years of consistently strong releases and live appearances have solidified the band as a staple of the Stoner/Doom scene and earned them a large international following. With five critically acclaimed LPs, a compilation of non-album releases, and numerous single and split releases, the band has sold thousands of records all over the world and shared stages with some of the genre’s most popular and influential acts.
In 2025, Borracho are set to deliver yet another sonic journey with the release of their upcoming sixth studio album LP “Ouroboros.” This new offering from the mighty trio explores the ancient alchemist concept of continuous transformation as applied to contemporary social ills. Track by track, Borracho take up consequential issues like mental illness, authoritarian brutality, automation, and the corruption of culture and paint a picture of humanity eating itself. Luckily for everyone, these tales are told with the kind of blistering, face-melting riffs the band has become known for. After the last two albums’ musical exploration into Psychedelia, on “Ouroboros,” Borracho are saying it’s time to Rock.
