Our Take

Album: SUNN O))) - Flight Of The Behemoth

SUNN O)))'s latest sonic escapade, Flight Of The Behemoth, takes listeners on a mystical journey through the depths of doom metal. With their signature blend of bone-rattling riffs and ethereal drones, the band creates a sonic landscape that is both punishing and transcendent.

From the opening track, "Aghartha", it's clear that SUNN O))) is not here to mess around. The relentless onslaught of distorted guitars and rumbling bass creates a sense of impending doom that carries throughout the album. Tracks like "Hunting & Gathering (Cydonia)" and "Ra At Dusk" showcase the band's ability to create tension and release in equal measure, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats.

But it's not all doom and gloom on Flight Of The Behemoth. The band shows their softer side on tracks like "Orthodox Caveman" and "F.W.T.B.T.", where delicate melodies and haunting vocals create a sense of introspection and beauty amidst the chaos.

Overall, Flight Of The Behemoth is a masterclass in doom metal, showcasing SUNN O)))'s unparalleled skill and innovation in the genre. Whether you're a seasoned metalhead or a casual listener looking to expand your sonic horizons, this album is not to be missed. Strap yourself in and prepare for takeoff, because SUNN O))) is ready to take you on a wild ride through the depths of heavy music.

About the artist

Sunn O)))

Sunshine, smiles, and laughter are not typically associated with the music of SUNN O))). This avant-garde metal outfit, formed in 1998 by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley, is known for their bone-rattling, earth-shaking compositions that feel like a descent into the depths of a dark, cavernous abyss. SUNN O)))'s signature sound is characterized by slow, heavy riffs, droning guitars, and layers of distortion that create a wall of sound unlike anything you've ever experienced. Their music is not for the faint of heart - it's intense, abstract, and wholly immersive. With album titles like "Black One" and "Monoliths & Dimensions," SUNN O)))'s music is as monolithic and titanic as the names suggest. The band's live performances are legendary for their overwhelming volume and physical impact, with audiences often describing them as a visceral, transcendent experience. Despite their minimalistic approach to composition, SUNN O)))'s music is incredibly complex and rich in detail. Each album is a sonic odyssey that demands repeated listens to fully appreciate the layers of sound and texture at play. So, if you're looking for music that will melt your face and shake you to your core, look no further than SUNN O))). Just make sure you bring earplugs and a sturdy pair of boots - you're going to need them.
