"Beyond Good and Evil" follows the album's lead single "Drowning by Numbers", which landed in November 2021, and is accompanied by a YUTARO-directed video.
The band said of the release, "There is a vast magnitude in a huge mushroom cloud and in decaying ruins. We feel both the sadness and beauty of these things at the same time; that is who we are. This video was made from the perspective of a mushroom cloud. The album W focuses on Wata’s vocals - and she is from HIROSHIMA."
W will follow Boris' July 2021 album NO, and is the group's first album on Sacred Bones Records. According to a press release, the two records respond to each other and together form NOW.
