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.

Back In Stock

New Sunn O))) album recorded by Steve Albini. It is fully realised and completely real. The record was produced by the core of Stephen and Greg and arranged by the greater constellation Sunn O))). Paintings by visual artist Samantha Keely Smith graciously adorn the sleeve and provide a perfect suitable mask to the proceedings. They collide ideas of 19th century romanticism and late 20th abstract expressionism (mysticism) with Sunn O)))’s approach to metal (via reference points of Arbo, Turner, Delville, Richter, Turrel, Wou-Ki). Photographer Ronald Dick shot them in baths of light colour representing depth of sound pressure in the work.
