"Starless And Bible Black Sabbath" is an album and song by the Japanese group The Acid Mothers Temple and the Cosmic Inferno. The albums 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, also notable is the use of two drummers playing virtually the same thing much of the track, but with slightly different timing, adding to the spaceyness of the track.

The second song, "Woman from a Hell" is a much faster and shorter track. As the song closes there is a Godzilla roar.
