BDSR Review

"Ukiyo" by The Big Drum In The Sky Religion is a 70 min trance-inducing journey into the unexplored waters of the eighth ocean; accompanied by 'spirit women' and 'hidden fortresses' of night. This one hour+ song is gloriously bleak like a fossilized tongue in abscess yellow- where archaic shadow beings concoct hallucinogenic poison plants for the weakened mind-warrior. (Think 1800's locomotive carrying nothing but animal bones). Droning, distorted, dueling guitars combined with ethno ghost chants erect foggy Appalachian landscapes, while scalping decapitated heads along the great mescaline conquest to the west. But as with any journey into the unknown, there are periods of unease; like the anxiety of a LSD trip while locked in a laundry room with the machines rumbling and tumbling. Total blackened chaos. After listening for a while, all thought processes become deranged... You see the decayed soil of the Earth-Lord, and reap the ceremonial harvest.  The Big Drum in the Sky Religion have an extensive discography of limited CDRs, and cassettes; either self-released by their own "Free Studio" or released on an DIY label.
