Green Vinyl
Continuing Riot Season's quest to get all of the classic early AMT albums released on vinyl, they turn to 2006’s Starless and Bible Black Sabbath, and with the help of Makoto Kawabata’s studio wizardry, they've made it possible. The title track is the meat of the beast, beginning with a minute of booms and gongs reminiscent of a thunderstorm before launching into some slow, heavy Sabbath-esque riffs. Squealing guitar and synth effects accompany the vocals of bassist Tabata Mitsuru, whose voice captures some of the sound and feeling of Ozzy's more than it does the melody.
The original CD artwork has been recreated for these vinyl editions from archive photos stored in the vaults at the Acid Mothers Temple in Osaka, Japan and the original audio remastered by James Plotkin.
