Our Take
Our Take
SUNN O)))'s latest offering, "Life Metal," is like a thunderstorm on a lazy Sunday morning: intense, brooding, and absolutely mesmerising. This album is not for the faint-hearted or the casual listener – it's a journey into the heart of heavy metal, where distortion reigns supreme and complexity is king.
From the opening track, "Between Sleipnir's Breaths," to the epic closer, "Troubled Air," SUNN O))) delivers a sonic assault that is both brutal and beautiful. The guitars are loud, the drums are pounding, and the vocals are haunting – this is music that demands your full attention.
But don't let the sheer weight of "Life Metal" scare you off – there are moments of quiet beauty sprinkled throughout, like the delicate strings on "Aurora" or the haunting chants on "Novae." This album is a masterclass in balancing light and shade, brutality and tenderness.
As you listen to "Life Metal," you can almost feel the vibrations reverberating through your body, shaking you to your very core. This is music that demands to be felt as much as heard – a true visceral experience that will leave you breathless and wanting more.
In a world full of cookie-cutter metal bands, SUNN O))) stands out as a true original, pushing the boundaries of what heavy music can be. "Life Metal" is a triumph, a monument to the power of sound and the beauty of chaos. Give it a listen, and prepare to be blown away.

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.
