Hank These guys belong in the 90s, they're like a pastiche of every good grunge band I grew up listening to. Great stuff, really varied selection of tracks so it never gets stale. Favorite track: The Ladder.

Off the wall doom/sludge following in the footsteps of Harvey Milk, Nightstick and Melvins, but add a dash of SubRosa and even The Ramones in (small) doses. An odd, but very satisfying concoction.

listen to the first track Sleep Doctor, and be hooked. Favorite track: Sleep Doctor (I Have a Light).

jic In the first five days after I bought this, I changed my mind about which track I liked best three times. Not a dud on the album.

Edit: Make that four times.

Edit: Five times, dammit! Favorite track: My Sister, My Sister.

about

"We Watched the World Turn to Ash Through the Porthole of Our Bunker" is the debut LP of GOD JR., the relaunched Ambient Sludge (or Cosmic Doom Metal) two-piece that was formerly known as Sister Sister.

The album finds the band pushing the sound established on the lone Sister Sister EP, "Anti-Cult," to its logical ends: slower, more ominous, more aggressive yet never without the melodic qualities that barely held together the chaos that defined "Anti-Cult."

The Change is apparent immediately, as "Sleep Doctor" starts the album with a creeping drone collage before ripping into a riff coated with a thick layer of sabbath-on-codeine sludge. From there, things only get stranger, with detours into hardcore ("The Ladder") and bubblegum-grunge ("Himitsu") only hinting at the bizarre depths plumbed by the final two tracks - "Mirrorlands" and "My Sister, My Sister," repectively - which combine to form a 23-minute suite of ambient roadhouse-doom that alternately pummels and drifts.

Taken as a whole, you start to get a clear picture of the music that GOD JR. makes now; huge, monumental doom jams with operatic and/or terrifying vocals that can veer off into pure drone or combustible guitar leads at any given moment, all bolstered by a constant droning quality that comes equally from the soundscaping of ambient music and the amps-at-10-only mentality of your local convenience-store dwelling heshers.
