Sunn O))) - The GrimmRobe Demos (Southern Lord, 2005)
Rating: 1/10 The GrimmRobe Demos is not the latest offering from SUNN O))), but rather a reissue of a previously rare out-of-print offering available on a limited CD pressing of 700 copies and Vinyl that quickly sold out. After this, the GrimmRobe Demos went back into obscurity... which is where it should have stayed. The GrimmRobe Demos contain four songs that offer absolutely nothing but distorted drawn out white noise throughout each and every song. The publicists at Southern Lord Records and the band themselves may describe it as a creation of soundscapes, drone and low end frequencies, but the content on The GrimmRobe Demos is nothing but white noise and a waste of time. There is nothing to either one of the four songs on this disc, absolutely nothing! The listener would not even know they finished "Black Wedding" and moved onto "Defeating: Earths' Gravity", because none of the tracks are different from one another. SUNN O))) is two man project featuring Greg Anderson of GOATSNAKE and Steve O'Malley of KHANATE/BURNING WITCH, with BOOTSY KRONOS lending a helping hand on Bass. The only thing this record has going for it is the beautiful artwork, booklet content and crisp black and white picture of Anderson and O'Malley. Otherwise, this disc is simply an hour and 12 minutes of a listener's life wasted and unable to retain if they spend their time listening to the GrimmRobe Demos.
