ALBUM REVIEWS:
THE SLUDGELORD:

"Clouds Taste Satanic's opus “To Sleep Beyond The Earth” is singular in vision and monolithic in intensity. The opening section of the first track bleeds power and infernal majesty with huge ringing chords oscillating into the distance interspersed with verbed out tremolo picking. You can tell right off the bat this was recorded at eardrum-bursting volume and echoes of Sunn O))) weigh heavy in the background. Moving into some nice melodic sections, Clouds Taste Satanic use a sprinkling of what sounds like a very subtle background effects at times a la Ufomammut. The occasional ringing gong at the beginning and ending sections are really fun to and do a great job at setting the atmosphere. Parts III & IV quickly move into an ascending stompy riff. At just before the five minute mark Clouds Taste Satanic settle into a nice groove then quickly break it up and move back into a stompy section. This track has more interesting song writing as the rhythmic changes are substantial and pummelling. These sections at the beginning of the second track are of a higher tempo then the lumbering opener. The middle bridge section echoes the huge intro with huge ringing chords. Interesting they move into a section around the fifteen minute mark that reminds me a lot of the band Tempel from their fantastic album “On the Steps Of The Temple” but slowed down and drugged out a bit. I love the tones and production on this one, everything is raw and huge. The guitar tones in particular are well into doom buzzsaw territory and the drums are pounding. I would also be inclined to say I like Parts I & II a bit better as the beginning of Part I is incredibly epic, literally a perfect opener."

CVLT NATION:

"Stop what the fuck you are doing and give yourself 40 minutes to inhale this very special album called To Sleep Beyond The Earth from Clouds Taste Satanic. What’s going to happen when you listen to this band? You will say to yourself, I see what CVLT Nation means when they say that there are some amazing bands in the underground that need to be heard. The thing about this album is it’s better listened to as a whole, because then you will be able to experience the journey the band takes you on. To Sleep Beyond The Earth parts III & IV will make way more sense after the first two parts, because then you will be hooked on Clouds Taste Satanic!"

THE SLEEPING SHAMAN:

"To be completely honest I absolutely love this record! I hate to just unabashedly gush over a piece of music, but when it’s good it’s good. Clouds Taste Satanic have created a record I have wanted to hear for quite some time and have never found since Earth 2. While I love straight up drone, sometimes there is not a lot you can do with it. Sunn O))) found a way to get past the trappings by going in a more arty direction. Clouds Taste Satanic have gone another path, they added the rock n roll element, and while they could be considered “arty” they lean way closer to the “rock”, and keep the musicianship complex enough without simply sustaining the same power chords over and over. To Sleep Beyond The Earth gives off the mellow vibe that you would expect from a 45 minute song, you can pick your poison, relax, and just get lost in the music."

DECIBEL:

"Get the fuck out of here with that name. I'm not even sure I can legitimately review this without constantly thinking about it, honestly, but I will try. This one long track split up for vinyl purposes is pretty much just repetitive, instrumental stoner metal with a hazy, meandering vibe that can sometimes be riveting and other times pretty navel-gazing. Does it live up to its name? I'm still not even sure if I like the name, but yeah, this is okay."

INVISIBLE ORANGES:

"slow cooked a doom stew heavy on the wums."

VERTICAL CHAMBER APPARATUS:

“Crushing” and “majestic” are probably the simplest and most immediate ways to describe the debut from New York instrumental four-piece Clouds Taste Satanic. ‘To Sleep Beyond the Earth’ is comprised of a single track in four movements that effectively combines the grandeur and spaciness of post-rock ambiance with the ominous crawl and lumbering riffs of doom metal. Clouds Taste Satanic are here to fill the void left by the unfortunate dissolution of Germany’s Omega Massif.
