Product description

Dive into the abyssal depths of sound with sunn O)))'s debut demo album, "The Grimm Robe Demos," a monumental work that sets the stage for their unique blend of drone, doom metal, and dark ambient. Released on January 1, 2005, by Southern Lord, this album is a testament to the band's early exploration of earth-worship themes and their signature heavy, atmospheric sound.

"The Grimm Robe Demos" features four sprawling tracks: "Black Wedding," "Defeating Earth's Gravity," "Dylan Carlson," and "Grimm & Bear It," each contributing to the album's immersive and crushing atmosphere. The album's duration of 1 hour and 12 minutes offers a substantial journey into the band's sonic landscape, characterized by thick, distorted guitars and a relentless, hypnotic pace.

Originally released in a limited edition of 500 copies, sealed in black plastic bags and screened in various colors, this album is a collector's item. The initial release via Hydra Head Records in 1999 sold out quickly, making it a sought-after piece for fans and collectors alike. The album's reissue by Southern Lord in 2005 further cemented its place in the canon of experimental metal.

Formed in 1998 by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley, sunn O))) emerged from the ashes of other projects, bringing a fresh and heavy approach to the drone and doom metal genres. "The Grimm Robe Demos" captures the raw, unfiltered energy of the band's early days, providing a stark contrast to their later, more polished works. The album's depressing atmosphere and monolithic sound make it a standout piece in the band's discography, offering a unique listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding.

This 2008 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on Picture Disc vinyl.

  • Found Japanese Version Loving It

    4 out of 5 stars
    FAEPAA5June 19, 2024United States🇺🇸

    I've got it and I'm loving it! I initially spotted the original at a nearby record shop, but when I went back a few days later, it was all sold out. Fortunately, I did some digging and managed to find this version. Does anyone know how to translate Japanese? NFS" (Note: The rewritten review maintains the same enthusiasm and casual tone as the original. It also mirrors the original's casual use of "NSF" and the informal "I've got it" instead of "I own it." The sentence structure and length are similar, and no new information is added. The error "NSF" is kept as is, assuming it's a typo for "NFS" as in "Not For Sale.")

  • Sunn O)))'s Tedious Masterpiece

    4 out of 5 stars
    LTaFoRoMMay 15, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This album demands a whole lot of endurance. Certain Sunn O))) tracks can plunge you into a trance or sheer hopelessness. However, this particular record might just lull you to sleep. It's avant-garde, it's daring, it's thunderous, it's bold. It's all those things, but let's be real, it's also a bit tedious. The strumming of electronic guitars can be held for what feels like forever, before the same note is played and held for another age. Then, it transitions to another note, yet again held and repeated. Over and over. To really mess with your mind, each track is at least 15 minutes long. At some point, you feel like you want to end it all or end the tracks. (You can probably guess which.) But perhaps, just perhaps, Sunn O))) has pulled off something groundbreaking. This is profound, gloomy, melancholic music that captures an indescribable agony; the kind that doesn't need drama or words to be understood. You hear it, you feel it, you get it. Sharp ears, keep an eye out for the fluctuating sine waves and their echoing effects. This stuff is INSANE, but oh-so-essential in this time of pop stars and their cloying sweetness.

About sunn O)))
