Free Music Notes for The Grimmrobe Demos
Free Music Review: Yes.
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes it is almost nothing but drone.
Yes, yes you do want to take a very long drive along an unlit road.
Yes, yes you do want to listen to sound, to the world, to your mind.
Yes, the epic poem in the album notes is as absurd and genuine as SunnO))) itself.
No, no you cannot appreciate SunnO))) without knowing their work in full.
Free Music Review: curiosity put the cat in a deep sleep
Hit: 3 Stars
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.
Free Music Review: In The Beginning........
Hit: 5 Stars
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.Free Music Review: I love Sunn, but I couldn't stand this
Hit: 2 Stars
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.Free Music Review: You Wanna Know What This Sounds Like?

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.
