kichiguy Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Agreed. I'm not too familiar with Sunn but I bought myself a ticket to the London show. Looking epic, but so so far away right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest couch Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's basically ambient drone with power chords tuned super low so if you can tolerate ambient music styles then this is sort of a similar vibe...just not all feel goody blissful ambient.

Ivan Ooze Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I saw them once but i'll never forget, Stoned like hell i was and it sounded and felt like a huge lawn mower driving over me, for an hour, in a very nice way! Merzbow also played that day it was pretty heavy i have the album they played but it can never top the feeling when i experienced them live, i highly recommend you go see them if they play near you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Hearos for playing with bands. Specifically these: https://www.hearos.c...y-ear-plugs-311 Get em at music/band stores. Clean them after each use with a klenex or something. Not sure how much they would help at a Sunn gig. The most noticeable difference for me when I have them in is it cuts out high frequencies like cymbals and very sharp ear piercing guitar notes.

Even if it is Sunn O))), there's no point seeing them where the acoustics are absolute shit, a pint costs over £4 and you're pratically walking around in other people's piss. EDIT: Just noticed it's being run by One Inch Badge, which explains why booking such a shit venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Jan Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Didn't see this! I went to Sunn in Amsterdam last thursday. It was the most intense concert I've ever experienced. I was really sceptical of everyone saying it's the loudest show ever, but I can confirm it for myself now it´s one of the loudest, my ears still rang the day after even though I wore fairly good earplugs the whole night. I guess it was a typical Sunn show, but what an experience. All the fog, Attila, the lightshow and the drones... a friend of mine joined us without ever hearing them and I only told him it would be something you have to experience at least once in your life. He was totally off the map after the show, even more blown away than I was. How is Nurse With Wound live? I saw Aluk Todolo before Sunn, they were pretty good but I wasn't really in the mood yet for 1-riff-per-10-minutes-black-metal with stoner influences.

I saw Aluk Todolo before Sunn, they were pretty good but I wasn't really in the mood yet for 1-riff-per-10-minutes-black-metal with stoner influences. The first twenty mins or so were great...NWW soundscapes with treated guitar, samplers etc. It was all sounding immense until they were joined on stage by some joker on vocals and a fucking kazoo...cringe worthy stuff really which almost ruined the set for me. Luckily he was only on briefly. They then switched things up and cranked out two longish beat/guitar driven jams. Parts of it were surprisingly accessible and it was pretty refreshing to see these guys work together as a band in the conventional sense. I guess I enjoyed NWW for the most part, but I cant help but feel like a space music/lilith styled NWW would have been a more fitting prelude to Sunn, who were fucking amazing..but you already know that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
