Sunn o))) C/D, S&D.

even though the band sights earth and melvins as their biggest influences this guy wants to make it seem like Sunn0)))'s music comes from nowhere - just these two crazy metal guys.

Exactly.

Heres a David Byrne review of Sunn o)))

I like the music itself, but only occasionally, and my affection for the band depends greatly on their nonmusical appeal (production of collectible objects, think value, weirdness factor, etc.).

Black One is the best thing they've ever done, closely followed by the White albums and Flight of the Behemoth. Didn't like 'em so much when they were following more closely in Earth's footsteps. Earth just did the dreamlike magma-metal thing a million times better.

P.S. Haven't we passed the pull-date on their novelty value? Where does the line for the backlash start?

how long have you been here?

- Sir Mix-a-Lot

quick Sunn 0))) question/comment

have you HEARD the new Oracle release? fucking great. Sunn, Boris, Earth/Melvins, and Mayhem collab? sure .... why the hell not?

thoughts?

Oracle is great.

wasn't into it. the jackhammer was annoying.

It's funny how you can track their influences over time. "Hey, Greg, you think anybody else has ever heard of this band Einsturzende Neubaten?" "Nah, we're still the coolest guys on the block, Steve..."

D

I like Oracle too.

dud

why?

Anyone heard the Dømkirke recordings? Haven't heard one second of it, but with Attila Csihar, Steve Moore and Lasse Marhaug on the team, it must be worth a listen.

Domkirke is badass. The first side is pretty organ heavy and has Attila Csihar basically belting Gregorian chant, and the rest is pretty "standard" Sunn 0)), but still great.

I'm going to see them tonight!!!!!!!! OMGz WTF

I got my Domkirke lp yesterday. Its great.

Btw at the current gigs theres a 3xlp of Grimm Robes Demos. It has the extra tracks on vinyl that were on the Daymare cd version. $40. My mate picked me one up.
Apparently the hoodies are very in demand and are selling out very fast as theres only a ltd amount on sale at each gig.

I love em, but I have no idea how this band convinced people to buy all this expensive vinyl

Even from a sound stand point, yes the lows are hypothetically better, but to me drones sounds best without crackles and bullshit.

Some people just prefer vinyl.

yeah, I saw them a month or so ago here. pretty memorable. set off the fire alarms three or four times.

At the Gothic? Yeah, that would be a rad place to see them.

I was at the Philly show, though after the first 20-25 minutes I spent the rest of the set seated out in the lobby because it was a standing affair and I was afraid the intensity would cause me to pass out.

L.A. is sold out but idk how I feel about big crowds in the post Covid era

What if it was all but impossible to see or hear the person next to you?

I was standing right behind the front-row folks and could barely see anyone around me through the insanely dense fog.

I'm guessing the show is still relatively close to the late 2019 iteration and that was intense!

I did end up taking a short hallway break. It was during a festival, though, and I'd honestly felt satiated with fifteen minutes left
