milkface Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I'll have to check that out. I'm a massive fan of Life Metal but haven't heard the demos yet. Edited May 5, 2020 by milkface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebotmakes Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I’m loving those demos, good stuff for bandcamp day. My favourite is White 1 though - such a weird mix of heavy riffs, mythology, humour, doom - shouldn’t work but it’s brilliant. Absolutely love Sunn O))) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a massive fan of Life Metal but haven't heard the demos yet. they were released for one day only - you might have missed your chance... unless you find them in a bush ofc i'm digging them. but that might be because i love tape saturation and "lo-fi" recordings in general; there's less structure to the tracks and they definitely function more as sketchbooks of ideas rather than stipulated releases. but, i like that immediacy and rawness(?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone must've been standing there so awkwardly.Oh man you gotta check em live, their amps are unreal, pure fuckin sonic slaughter that makes your gut rumble and your ears almost pop. You can hardly see anything from all the smoke but i saw a girl pass out and a guy puke. Glad i only consumed just a little joint or i was gonna be slumped aswell. If you like sunn you just HAVE to hear em live, can't recommand em enough 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I've spoke about Altar a lot, and I don't wish to sound like a fucking demented parrot. Altar with Boris is a weird, dark psychedelic classic, Pyroclasts is for me their best album because the drones are heavy as fuck and uncompromising but also strangely uplifting and tinged with sunlight (I'm listening to this right now in honour of this thread ), then White 2 because Bassaliens sounds like ambient metal from a devil worshipping Cajun band created deep within the bayou while tripping on UFO drugs (something like that, and the album art is wicked). The Black One sounds absurd and a bit of a joke and I wish I could finish it but get to a certain point and think 'yeah whatever I think I'm gonna put me on Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People and the sooner the better'. Don't get the big wank fest over Monoliths and Dimensions. BWOOOOOOOO Edited May 5, 2020 by beer badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 They’re the best band named after an amp of all time, imo. And I’m not even a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italiceyeball Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 nice shirt design here. Sums up perfectly my range of motion at the last gig...before the hand melted down my arm. https://sunn.southernlord.com/store/sunn-o-louis-alexandre-beauregard-t-shirt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailings Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Does _Altar_ count? What about KTL? No, I suppose not. I do love Sunn 0))) but I can honestly say I listen to the NWW remixes of 00 Void, along with Altar, more than anything else branded Sunn 0))). Straight up, I'd have to say Grimmrobe Demos.

beerwolf Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Beware The Demented Parrot All Hail the mighty Altar https://sunn.southernlord.com/altar/ One of the greatest albums of all time (in my humble opinion) is being repressed. As with all Sunn O)) stuff the ltd yellow vinyl is long gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I have seen them live like 10 years ago and it was one of the most intense experiences I had with musical performances. You could even taste it and I had to leave early because it was just too loud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Ostanek Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Used to have actual meditation sessions to Black One at uni with a few particularly pretentious mates. Got wrecked but enforced strict silence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
