Another batch of audio cookies fresh out the Blackest Rainbow oven and I have two of them to munch on. First up is a CD by Robe. Now I'm not usually one to judge a record by its cover but the photo of crucifix grave stones and the medieval style font have me thinking this aint gonna be no bubblegum pop effort. So I hit play on 'Time Dimension' and my suspicions are confirmed. It's super dark vibes all the way, reminding me of some of the ambient/ black metal type stuff. I get the feeling of an impending storm brewing but it never quite manifests into total sonic brutality which I quite like. Plenty of the obligatory menacing drone action as you may expect. The label recommend this for fans of Sunn O))) and Robedoor. I heartily second that notion... mighty tasty. Ltd to 150 copies.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Massively epic new release from this American duo of stark echoing multi-instrumental drone, layers of charcoal to black emptiness that has gathered pretty solid sound throughout the releases they've unleashed last year, this is bleak, not harsh, just dark, and unrelenting for it's immense near 80 minute duration... Fans of Sunn O))), Robedoor, and occult ritual nightmares will zone into this. Limited to 150. Pro duplicated with on disc print.
