highly recommendend doomy dark ambient metal drone subconscious haunting creepy lownoise - the subtle quiet companion to your favourite nightmares
John Lithium
The absolutely phenomenal first album by Holy McGrail and Howard Marsden. Ultra-low bass pulsations, clattering, and feedback. A must for any drone fanatic.
“If the doom metal of Khanate is the ideal soundtrack to the 21st Century Odinists’ hanging upon the tree of Yggdrasil, then the vegetal music of Slomo is the unfolding, nurturing, ever-becoming ur-ooze that titanically irrigates the roots of that sacred tree. Slomo restores our timeless beginnings and fulfils the Ginnungagap… motherfuckers.”
JULIAN COPE
“…seeps into your subconscious, where it flutters like a trapped and burning moth at the back of your brain. Ghostly sounding and ominously rumbling with atmospheric threat, The Creep is an undeniably effective chunk of subterranean echo, whose quaking aftershock could cause sleepless nights.”
THE WIRE
“Uneasy, brooding, and honestly unsettling, this disc slowly works its way out of the speakers and into the psyche. Ingrained, it’s impossible to put it down, lock it away, carry it to the street with the beer and Scotch bottles to be recycled. Inactivated, it defiantly surfaces in the cat’s purr, the Volk’s engine knocks, a fritzing hard drive.”
DUSTED MAGAZINE
“A completely culty piece of oozing metastain.”
STEPHEN O'MALLEY
“A botanic mono drone that transforms the air”
DANIEL REHN
“Could a band have a more perfect name? And an album a more perfect title? In this case, no... Creepy, creeping, slow motion music.”
AQUARIUS RECORDS
This may be my all-time favourite SUNN O))) LP. Hell-O)))-Ween is excellent, SUB-BASS and then some. BassAliens begins pretty chilled, develops a twang to it similar to Earth circa Hex, then becomes an organic yet alien sound which could soundtrack the creature in John Carpenter's The Thing. I really like the choral elements to Decay2. Always after listening to this LP I'm in the mood for Unearthly Trance's Deathothic from their In the Red LP.
Favourite track: Decay2 [Nihils' Maw] Master of Alchemy
This was the first Sunn O))) album I listened to after Altar. I used to annoy my friends by adding "My Wall" to the playlist at parties. Now we're not friends anymore. This will never be my favorite Sunn O))) album, but it will always remind me of my miserable twenties. nosohryuforyou
I listened to this so many times before it expired online on the BBC. I was hopeful it would oneday eventuate in a release. Now I'm smiling.
