Sunn O))) is an American doom/drone metal band formed in 1996. The name is pronounced "Sun" and was inspired by the band's amplifier brand of choice. Founding members Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson have been a constant presence in every concert and release under the SUNN O))) moniker. Throughout their career, they have collaborated with notable guests such as Attila Csihar, Julian Cope, Oren Ambarchi, Merzbow, and Tos Nieuwenhuizen.
Known for their unique sound that combines heavy guitars with slow tempos and droning atmospheres, Sunn O))) has established themselves as pioneers in the doom/drone metal genre. Their music creates a mesmerizing experience that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of heavy music.
With a discography spanning over two decades, Sunn O))) continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their powerful live performances and critically acclaimed albums. Their dedication to pushing the limits of sound has earned them a devoted following and solidified their status as one of the most influential bands in experimental metal.

sunn o))) is proud to present their 7th studio album after 10 years of existence. work that spanned a year and a half resulted in their most intense, mature work to date. recorded at various points throughout 2007 and 2008 by randall dunn and mell dettmer, it features an array of other players including longtime collaborators attila csihar and oren ambarchi, and other luminaries such as julian priester (notable for work with sun ra and herbie hancock), and slow music god-father dylan carlson of earth. in addition, arrangements were handled by noted composer eyvind kang who has worked with john zorn, bill frisell and mike patton amongst others. fleshing out the usual sunn o))) lineup is an upright bass trio, french and english horns, a harp and flute duo, piano, brass, reed and string ensembles. despite this, this is not 'sunn o))) with strings' or 'metal meets orchestra' material, this is something altogether more exciting. cover art by eminent artist richard serra.
