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.

'oo void' was originally released in 2000 by hydra head in the usa and rise above in the uk and europe. they have been out of print for approximately 8 years now. 'oo void' (also known as double-o void) was the second album recorded by sunn o))) circa 2000. at that time the guitarist and core members: stephen o'malley and greg anderson were joined by guest bassist collaborator stuart dahlquist (burning witch, goatsnake). 'oo void' also features some incredible contributions from both petra haden (violinist / vocalist) and pete stahl (vocals). their melodic evocations are seamlessly woven within this thick sonic tapestry. the group approached the compositions of this album in a different way than their previous recordings. each member focused intently on one composition / song and brought it into the recording session. then each of those songs that were brought in were translated to the other members and nuances were worked out on the spot in the studio. greg anderson aka the duke brought in: 'nn0)))', stephen o'malley aka mk ultra blizzard brought in: 'ra at dusk', stuart dahlquist aka g.subharmonia brought in: 'richard'. the exception to all this was the inclusion of a rendition of a obscure melvins song called: 'rabbits' revenge'. this song was actually never recorded in the studio by the melvins and the riffs were salvaged from a live tape that anderson had of the band playing in seattle from march of 1985! this album was recorded to 24 track 2" tape at grandmaster studios in hollywood, california. a large step forward in production values from the band's debut recording the grimmrobe demos. fellow sub-sonic entusiast scott reeder (the obsessed, kyuss, goatsnake) captured that particular incantation of sunn 0))) on huge reels of tape.
