who knows/like them here? =) "SUNN 0))) is a side project of Khanate/Burning Witch (Steve O' Malley) and Goatsnake (Greg Anderson) members. It was formed in memory of the cult drone-riff founders EARTH and honors the beautiful Ozma. The SUNN0))) mission is to create trance like soundscapes with the ultimate low end/bottom frequencies intended to massage the listeners intenstines into a act of defecation. SUNN 0))) have gathered 2x for live performances, at which they have succesfully made audience members instantly nauseous, or better yet run for the toilet in terror. The powers that be contracted the heaviest low end destructors SUNN 0))) to create the most subharmonic drone recording ever put to tape. A test impossible for most mortals. Prepare your sound system!" - http://www.southernlord.com/sunn.htm (but apart from side effects, i like their music. ^^) |

i've heard some of their songs but i'm not that familiar with them. what album would you recommend? i'm really into Earth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are very good, i almost bought White 1 on cd but im holding off and buying the vinyl version which has an added track and really nice packaging+ white vinyl. by the way, Earth is going to release something new this year! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
r40f > i haven't bought an album yet, i'm discovering! but i will buy one soon... i'm thinking of buying Flight Of The Behemoth. (it's the best rated on AMG, has a nice cover art - well, all their albums i've seen have nice cover art -... and there are two tracks in collaboration with Merzbow too) i don't know Earth well, i've just heard one or two sound samples but from what i've heard i prefer Sunn 0))) : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good, but I don't listen to them often. I like to get really stoned and listen to them loud on headphones. Get flight of the behemoth, which also has two remixes by merzbow on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah.. Khanate is some of the scariest music I have ever heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Flight of the Behemoth is fucking wicked.. Very mesmerizing O_o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow... just discovering right now, that Khanate indeed sounds really good... |
||||||||
|
|

wow wicked whateva |

I can see how you must feel elated in finally disclosing your longtime-repressed homosexuality, but it does get rather tiresome reading that you are indeed "gay". We all know now, and we all accept. now let's move on. |
||||||||

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer 00 void to flight of the behemoth, the opening track being monumental! tho both are very very good. imo the Sunn O)) is better than Earth .. building on the sound of Earth and adding new subtleties. and being even heavier of course! :-) i really need white-1 don't i? |

"SUNN 0))) is a side project of Khanate/Burning Witch (Steve O' Malley) and Goatsnake (Greg Anderson) members. It was formed in memory of the cult drone-riff founders EARTH and honors the beautiful Ozma." I'm glad you said that, cause it's all clear now! |
||||||||

i personally think very little of what i've heard by Earth. I was trying to track down a nice track off the documentary Kurt & Courtney, and, in thinking that it was an Earth track, downloaded some of their stuff (after a lot of effort). Needless to say it wasn't their stuff that I was after, and what I did get (crooked axis for string quartet / tallahassee) was quite shite and boring. |
||||||||

|
|
i got the 'black one' album yesterday..fcukin love it! can't wait to see them live!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just enjoy Earth |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got their hex:orprinting in the infernal method yesterday as well. great stuff both! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was some live performance, it was like a wall of noise when you entered the concert room. amazing experience. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're a bit boring live, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're not into music that may be so i imagine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've only heard White 1 and it's really good except for the cheesy lyrics on track 1, and the inappropriate Norwegian folk song in the beginning of track 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love them on CD, it's just that live... ehh.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did they perform on pc speakers or something? i can't possibly imagine how they could suck live.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nope, the speakers were alright. Very loud, very heavy, a dirge of bass. But it progressed too slow for my liking, and there was incredibly little variation/texture to the performance. A friend of mine really enjoyed it though, these things are so subjective... I just didn't enjoy the extreme monotony in a live setting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see..well, i would have to see it for my self to judge :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think they are playing bristol some time soon. they are great, but the new album is crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you like Sunn O))), you must check out ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey that's a news to me!! thanks! i'll check it out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks Uzim! I will be checking this out. I was always curious because of the name |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Steve O' Malley was a writer in Metal Maniacs some years ago, also he was involved with the artwork of some black metal bands |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Black metal bands have the worst artwork of all the genres, I think, although the stuff Steven O Malley has done for Sunn 0))) is bloody excellent. |
||||||||

And I stood upon Wan’s Dyke And I did survey the land And I did become the Reaper with my own bare hands... And then I was King Vikar with his arms outstretched And then I was King Vikar with his broken neck And then I was the villain and the victim and the priest Was grim misunderstanding and was grim as death itself My Wall My Wall caught in the thrall of my Wall My Wall My Wall caught beneath the thrall of my Wall. Here in the bloodlust deeper scar For here be the wall of Johnny Guitar Here in the bloodlust deeper scar For here be the wall of Johnny Guitar Play your gloom axe Stephen O’Malley Sub bass ringing the sides of the valley Sub bass climbing up each last ditch and combe Greg Anderson purvey a sonic doom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I finally checked them out. I've downloaded White 1 and Black One and prefer the latter. It's like listening to ambient generally, but with a little bit of Neurosis feel. That kind of puts me off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sunn O))) are good but Earth are better. I have said it before and I will say it again oh yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seen these live at atp... i had no idea what to expect but i found the music very boring live to be honest, not enough variation, how do the albums compare? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw them live and i'd say their structure live is pretty much the same to that on albums..the only difference is the heavy sound you experience live. and well, some details get more space on records, but overall it's pretty much the same thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they get to empty the stage when playing at sonar this year... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
saw sunn O))) this weekend. while their studio material doesnt entice me at all, i must admit that they were great in creating an eerie atmosphere whilst wearing ridicolous clothes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats a shame, as there is definitely some potential there... there was atmosphere for a while, bit that turned to boredom after the same distorted riff was repeated over and over.... i may try out a studio album sometime though, any recommendation of which one to try? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get black one. but maybe you could get that collaboration with boris first if you like variation. it's an awesome album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only discovered them this year. black one is brill. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what was the costume the singer wore on stage? I couldn't tell what it was.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they always wear : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the singer was Mayhem's vocalist, not a Sunn O))) member.. i couldnt see what it was exactly, twigs on his head and white uv glowy suit on body. |
