Warthur
Some of the dronier doom metal bands are able to take sparse, minimalistic riffs dragged out for an ungodly length of time and somehow manage to avoid the monotony or boredom which might otherwise be associated with such music, finding ways and means of making their ambient metal endlessly fascinating. Earth's second album is a good example of that, and I understand a lot of people think Sunn O))) pull it off. But Om? Maybe they are able to do it, but they don't quite manage it on their debut album. Then again, it's nice to see Al Cisneros of Sleep return to the music scene at all after his absence.
