Lamentations of the Ashen - EKIMMV
To say that Lamentations of the Ashen is boring and slow is like saying that Stalin might have killed a few people. It’s the understatement of the decade. If Varg from Burzum had decided that he wanted to do an album of his favorite Sunn O))) covers during the time period in which he recorded Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, this is pretty much what it would sound like. It has the same minimalistic characteristics of Burzum but at 1/10th the speed. Interest in the music is lost about five minutes into the second song. The first track, “…of Wraiths in White,” is just an intro (clocking in at a little over five minutes), so most listeners would suffer through that in hopes that things not only pick up but get better. Sadly, that doesn’t happen. It just continues to drone on and on and on. This album is about as exciting as being paralyzed from the neck down. I had to listen to this in chunks, taking in one song a day in hopes that the boredom generated by the music wouldn’t cause me to fall asleep in the middle of it. Even doing that, this was borderline torture to sit through.
