Sunn O)))

With core members Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson, Sunn O))) is regarded as the world’s leading drone doom band. Originating in Seattle and named after the Sunn amplifier brand, their music also incorporates elements of noise, dark ambient and black metal genres. 2009’s “Monoliths and Dimensions”, the band’s seventh studio album, has widened their audience even further, regarded as their greatest achievement to date, bringing in elements of modern composition and jazz. It features guitar player Oren Ambarchi, vocalists Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Earth's Dylan Carlson, woodwinds, brass, strings, male and female choirs. “Monoliths and Dimensions” has been critically acclaimed, from The New York Times to Pitchfork and Wire, who wrote of it “almost a perfect album… great art knows no boundaries.” The philosophy behind a Sunn O))) live show is “maximum volume yields maximum results.” It is a highly physical and emotional experience, as well as musical. Sunn O))) release on Southern Lord Records.
