Paysage d'Hiver
Paysage d'Hiver
"The music of Paysage D'Hiver is used as a monomanic, minimalist musical mantra. This mantra is supposed to help the listener to visualize Alpine winter landscapes, and to experience this landscape as sublime, an aesthetic emotion of simultaneous attraction and fear, an emotion which finds its origin in Romanticism. Listening to Paysage D'Hiver is a phantasmatic practice.
How this practice is connected to other elements of the listener's lives (social, economic, psychological, political etc.) falls outside of the scope of this post."
From surrealdocuments.blogspot.com . Best description I could find, since I certainly can't explain it. The album is low-fi and underproduced, and contains some of the most atmospheric black metal material I've heard. Its worth a few listens. Great for bedtime.

Live in Los Angeles 10/10/2008
First show of the Grimmrobes tour live at the Regent Theatre in LA (moved from Safari Sam's). First night of the tour. Excellent quality. They actually released this show as a tape (well, 45 minutes of it at least) for the final leg of the tour in Japan.
Really REALLY good quality. Bass frequencies come out very well. For those of you in Japan, go see them if you get the chance. Its great to see just the two of them. Better in my opinion.

Live in London 2/22/09
From the Lord site:
With honor, SUNN O))) is announcing one exclusive live performances in the United Kingdom, the first since their phenominal Altar concert at The Kentishtown Forum December 2007, to recognize the 10th anniversary of SUNN O)))’s creation. To coincide with the recording of the first album, The GrimmRobe Demos, SUNN O)) will be playing material from it exclusively. It will be a return to their primal origins, and approach respecting a zen concept of shoshin, the beginner’s mind, the yet undyed pure wool, the clarity in initiation upon the untraveled. The attitude of embodying the basics precisely, point by point, line by line, with an immovable faith in the teaching, experience and of beyond the possibility. Of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when approaching, even with much experience, just as a beginner would upon the initial impetus and thirst to seek the path. And so, with this mindset, they will be approaching these live concerts. Pure, raw, uninhibited invocations featuring O)))s core members: Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson ONLY. No guests, no vocals, no keyboards. We hope you will join us!
