Sunn O)))Sunn O))) is an American doom/drone metal band consisting of Stephen O'Malley (Khanate / Burning Witch) and Greg Anderson (Goatsnake). The band was formed as a tribute to Earth, another very heavy band, and is named after a make of amplifier. Their sound is extremely slow and heavy, using droning guitars accompanied by feedback and other sound effects to create 'soundscapes'. There is very little drumming and a lack of any discernable beat. The band are currently signed to influential doom label Southern Lord. When they play live they wear long-hooded cloaks. They've also collaborated with a wide variety of artists. Merzbow, known as the Japanese 'God of Noise', worked with the band on the album "Flight of the Behemoth". Julian Cope worked on a song from the "White-1" album, and Attila Csihar, best known for his vocal work on the classic black metal album "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" by Mayhem, did vocals for the song 'Decay2 [Nihil's Maw]' on the album "White-2".DiscographyThe Grimmrobe Demos Demo, 1999 ии Void Full-length, 2000 Flight Of The Behemoth Full-length, 2002 Veils It White EP, 2003 White1 Full-length, 2003 Live Action Sampler 2004 Live White Live album, 2004 The Libations Of Samhain Live album, 2004 White2 Full-length, 2004 Cro-Monolithic Remixes for an Iron Age EP, 2004
