5.0 out of 5 stars atomic blasts licked by the flames of hell, March 25, 2006

this is an incredible, stirring slab from the Cosmic Inferno line-up. a thunderous riff anchors the majority of the title track enthralling the listener to shake his or her acidic bones to the rythm of a hellish beat as Kawabata lays out seductive flame licked solos that harken back to a simplier time, when everyone knew the best music came from satan.

all cliche and pretension aside, i am a heavy listener when it comes to AMT(in any form)and i've heard some people complain about the amount of releases. the music is great, so it does make sense for them to keep putting it out there for us. but i do certainly understand that as much as we enjoy it, we can't always afford everything. so let me say this about "starless and bible black sabbath" if youre an AMT fan you want this, and if you've got the money burning a whole in your pocket..why not let these cats burn a whole in your brain.

(buy independent!)

This is some crazy stuff right here. Japanese psychadelic monsters Acid Mothers Temple have created another slab of thick riffage and crazy ambience. For fans of early Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, and Boris, this is for you.

You pretty much have to take AMT +CI on their own uncompromising terms; this is not for the fainthearted alt-rocker or black t-shirted but too casual a listener, but neither is it some inaccessible piece of doom-metal or experimental thrash. They know the power of a good riff. This is a bit less harsh than Electric Heavyland, and may be a better point of entry for new listeners. It does, for the 34 minutes or so of the main tune, of course dawdle in Sabbath territory, but it does not get mired there.

AMT adds enough space in the densely mixed--my only drawback, a minor one, here: it's too sludgy a mix even considering this genre--grooves to prevent this from becoming airless. King Crimson? Well, that's where this added element of airiness mixed with the heaviness of the Black Sabbath influence comes in. At first this may sound monolithic, but repeated listenings reveal the variety that any AMT project revels in, thank the gods. The added six minute song is a bit more artier, and grating, but does not wear out its briefer stay.
