Our Take
Our Take
SUNN O))) has never been one to shy away from pushing the boundaries of what we consider to be music. Their latest offering, "Life Metal" released for Record Store Day 2019, is no different. This album is a sonic journey unlike any other, with layers upon layers of droning guitars that seem to defy the laws of physics.
The opening track, "Between Sleipnir's Breaths," sets the tone for the album with its crushing waves of sound that wash over you like a tidal wave. It's a cacophony of noise that somehow manages to be strangely beautiful at the same time.
As the album progresses, we are taken on a journey through the darkest recesses of the human psyche. Tracks like "Aurora" and "Novae" are haunting and hypnotic, with the guitars creating a sense of unease that lingers long after the music has stopped.
But it's not all doom and gloom on "Life Metal." Tracks like "Troubled Air" inject a sense of playfulness into the album, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on your toes.
In conclusion, "Life Metal" is a triumph of experimental music that defies categorization. It's a challenging listen, to be sure, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a rewarding experience that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about 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.
