Starless And Bible Black Sabbath is an album and song by the Japanese group The Acid Mothers Temple and the Cosmic Inferno. The album's title refers to the album Starless and Bible Black by King Crimson and a self-titled album by Black Sabbath, the album cover also is very similar to the Black Sabbath album, except featuring group member Kawabata Makoto instead of a woman on the album cover.
Overview
The song "Starless and Bible Black Sabbath" begins in a similar fashion to Black Sabbath’s eponymous opening track on their debut album, but less dramatic. The song grows slowly until a third of the way through the track vocals. The vocals have a large echo effect and there are two drummers playing virtually the same drum beat during a lot of the track, but with slightly different timing.
The second song, "Woman from a Hell" is a much faster and shorter track. As the song closes there is a Godzilla roar.
