that's an awesome story! I love stumbling across cool shit, to experience something with 0 preconceived notions or expectations.
also, not to stereotype, but the sunn fans seem grimm + humorless.

maybe its an american thing. i get the impression american metal fans take the genre and themselves a bitmore seriously than british ones?

Can't find much in the ILM archives on Ascend's Ample Fire Within album, which I understand Greg Anderson is involved with. How does this compare to Greg's other stuff -- Goatsnake, Sunn O))), Teeth of Lions..., Pentemple and anything else I'm forgetting?

The most recent one on the page, from a couple of weeks ago in Bristol, was the most brutal Sunn show I've seen out of more than half a dozen, and features a Burning Witch cover at the start.

New interview via Whiney is up on Stereogum, too.
STEREOGUM: There was a story about dead pigeons falling out of the rafters somewhere during a Sunn O))) show that could use a fact-check. Is that real or fake?O’MALLEY: I’ve never seen a dead bird. I’ve never seen a dead creature.STEREOGUM: That’s what separates you guys from Slipknot.O’MALLEY: I guess so.ANDERSON: That’s one of the things.
O’MALLEY: I’ve never seen a dead bird. I’ve never seen a dead creature.

Another interview with a bit more details on both albums: https://newnoisemagazine.com/greg-anderson-on-sunn-o-new-album-life-metal/?fbclid=IwAR1s-yVTVaKvXzbzANe6SodeeXePg7fDaBqwzuG01E6lMY2m0jITeIXHajU
Love this part (so all analog the record is not ;)
Life Metal also features other collaborations on the first song, “Between Sleipnir’s Breaths.” “The intro is actually stolen from Bathory, the [1988] Blood Fire Death record,” Anderson admits. “What happened was that Stephen and I are obsessed with Bathory, especially that record. That’s my personal favorite. In the past, on [2005’s] Black One, there is a riff from Blood Fire Death that we just slowed down. Same notes, but you can’t tell; it’s unrecognizable, because we play it so slow. I love that intro of the horses going into battle, and I just joked and said, ‘Why don’t we run that through some amps?’ It was funny, because I was thinking, ‘Albini is not going to be into this idea. He’s probably going to be like, “I don’t know, guys,”’ but right away, he was like, ‘Where can I find that?’ He looked it up on YouTube and then ran that through his board. The only computer in the room is the one that Steve uses on chat forums, but there is no recording going on there. So, there was a computer involved in that he transferred YouTube, ran it through his board, and then we ran it through some amplifiers and distortion pedals and added our own horse samples.”
