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.”

I remember first hearing Decay2, years ago, sitting at a desktop with headphones. The song began, all those screeches, like a chorus of hellish bats. It led into Attila’s throaty, rasping intonations. Brian Parker
«Soudain l'homme se réveille
au milieu de la nuit
il est saisi par le malaise
et écoute malgré lui
le silencieux vacarme de l'angoisse
le bruit qui ne fait pas de bruit
le silence qui hurle à la mort
dans le grand coquillage de la nuit (...)»
(Jacques Prévert, Soudain le bruit) Ol64
Definitely the most relaxing and peaceful Sunn record. I also love the trombone on Troubled Air. This might be my favorite thing Sunn has ever done. colek_WM
