Maybe the first /true/ Drone Metal album, although there’s really nothing metal about it unless metal just means “distorted guitars.” The last track has some bass and drums backing it to sound more metallic and lifelike, the rest is just very simple and slow guitar “riffs” with a ton of distortion.

Earth’s first demos actually had a slightly doomy feel to them, with a full instrument ensemble and even vocals at times. This is, for all intents and purposes, just Ambient Drone. It’s fuzz and noise that is inoffensive and stagnant for over an hour. I can see how it could be relaxing, at the best of times. Problem is, even if I want to relax with some Ambient music, I still want the music to do something. This is essentially background noise, if you lived in an amp warehouse, or a Guitar Center underwater.

Maybe there is some genius in the exact frequencies or textures here, maybe there was some grand blueprint for these no less than 15-minute tracks, or maybe there’s absolutely nothing special to it at all. Either way, it’s not for me.

This kept my attention 100% of the time, and it was a great soundtrack for people-watching, seeing the local environment, and taking in an amazing grey sky. Meditative as you'll expect if familiar with drone. I liked it a lot.

Pretty simple; you meditate for the devil. How could this be bad?

드론 둠메탈의 기념비적인 앨범, 다만 드론의 특성상 긴 러닝타임에 반복 리프는 지루할 수 있다. 많이...

둠의 끈적 끈적한 분위기는 알겠으나 드론이 원래 이런지 좀 지루하다..
level 9   95/100
Can't believe I haven't made a comment on this amazing album. It's like slllooooowwwly drifting away in a lake of lukewarm brimstone and quicksilver, and it's freaking brilliant.
