very limited "olive green" lp (500 only) 2006’s ‘starless and bible black sabbath’, released on vinyl for the first time.here’s what brainwashed.com had to say upon it’s original cd only release back in 2006 … “the title track is the meat of the beast, beginning with a minute of booms and gongs reminiscent of a thunderstorm before launching into some slow, heavy sabbath-esque riffs. squealing guitar and synth effects accompany the vocals of bassist tabata mitsuru, whose voice captures some of the sound and feeling of ozzy's more than it does the melody. the pace is slower than most amt fare, but things speed up considerably around the eight and a half minute mark. the group convincingly imitates the sabbath guitar sound here and the rhythm section is particularly tight, giving listeners something on which to hang their ears or even providing them with a chance to gasp for air during makoto's guitar explorations. around the sixteen minute mark, everything comes to a wailing halt before the band returns to the dirge-like tempo that started the song. this pattern continues for the duration of the piece, until a couple of minutes before the ending, when the group makes a smooth transition to acoustic guitar and processed vocals to cool down.clocking in at nearly thirty-five minutes, the length alone may tax some listeners. however, the second track, "woman from a hell, "provides relief, which with a running time of six minutes is uncommon in the acid mothers canon for its brevity. this one condenses many of the ideas of the title track, and accomplishes much of the same evocation of sabbath, but with the vocals in a more prominent role. the disc comes full circle, ending with thunderstorm sounds much like theones which started the album. though the title track could have been shortened and perhaps an additional track included, this album remain some of the group's more accessible releases in some time and should please fans old and new alike."
