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.
