curiosity put the cat in a deep sleep.......2006-11-03

I am a devoted fan of experimental cutting edge music. Anderson and O'Malley are riding the wave of some admirable wild innovation. They are interesting individuals and I will continue to follow my curiosity with their projects.

With that being said I keep falling asleep to Sunn albums; this one in particular. The album featuring Merzbow on 2 tracks is better in my opinion. I haven't heard Altar yet, so that one stands as my pick of the Sunn stack.

In The Beginning...............2006-01-12

When a band releases an album with the word "demo(s)" in the title be careful before buying because it usually indicates that said demos will sound little to nothing like the band in their current form (e.g. The Melvins "Mangled Demos From 1983"). The same applies to "The Grimmrobe Demos". If your first exposure to Sunn O))) was listening to "Black One" and you're looking for more of the same music, don't look here. This is Sunn O))) at their most primitive. No vocals, no black metal type overtones, just dark, heavy drone.

I love Sunn, but I couldn't stand this.......2006-01-11

I love Sunn and Earth. But this cd bored me so much that I had to sell it. Simply put, this was missing the subtlety and maturity that are behind Sunn's other stuff that makes it interesting. It really did feel like they were just playing riffs (or whatever you'd call it) without the sensibility that keeps it from being trite and makes it profoundly affecting and absorbing. I still come back to the beginning to The Flight of the Behemoth with a lump in my throat ( you know where it sort of "kicks in"? ), but Grimmrobe had no moments like this. But at the same time, I could see someone digging this, because it isn't BAD: it is heavy after all.

You Wanna Know What This Sounds Like?.......2005-11-28

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzZzZZZZZZZZZSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... and so on. All 4 songs are a super low distorted buzz. Seriously. Nothing else happens. Each song is 15 minutes + too. Yeah, this album gets two stars because it's hilarious.

The death throes of the Leviathan........2005-04-29

"Grimmrobe" is an awakening. I like "White2" because it's a retreat from sheer, crushing doom to sheer, ambient doom. "White1," mixed as I am about that album, is much the same experience. "Flight of the Behemoth" lacks one thing: clarity. It doesn't sound sludgy, it just sounds as though it's being recorded very, very far away. So the atmosphere is good, but the sound itself leaves me longing. But "Grimmrobe" is what Sunn0)) must sound like at the apex of their Earth-worshipping, Sabbath-following project. Crisp, raw sound, but never lo-fi. Slow, massive riffs, amply walking the line between "Come My Fanatics" and "Earth2"; in other words, unholy doom and drone that engages the willing listener and keeps his or her attention until the end. So many, more "straight-forward" doom outfits lose my attention in a hurry -- if only because I feel that other people have done it, and they've done it better. But Earth and Sunn, for all their similarities, are distinct units with distinct sounds (like night and day for the initiated). "Grimmrobe" is the sound of the Leviathan in its death throes, writhing on the ocean floor. And the ocean is on another planet. It does not paint a pretty, sunny picture, and so this is not for everyone; but it will get inside your head, it will stimulate and calm you simultaneously, and it will leave you with questions, with curiosity, with the desire for more. Doom on, gents, and keep it coming...
