For any Sunn O))) fans, Black 1 is due October 18th through Southern Lord. Just found that info on the net.
i’m into all things experimental…stuff as wierd as Suicide, Nautical Almanac and Einsturzende Nuebauten.
But when I bought Sun 0)))'s “White 1” CD after people raved about it on this board, I was sorely dissappointed.
The “music” seemed so tedious and self-indulgent that I immediately returned the CD. I mean the droning certainly put me in a bleak mood and brought forth abyssal imagery in my mind, but after a minute or two each song became an excersize in frustration, just trying to force myself not to hit the skip button.
Is this band normally so boring? Fuck, the production even sucked! It was all just a murky, repetitive blur of utter crap.
Maybe I missed some Gregorian chant about the ninth level of hell thirteen minutes into the album or something…
Seriously, can anyone explain what I’m missing with these guys?
Do there other releases have more variation, or are they all just one fucking chord over and over?
grimrobe demos are the best sunnO))) when they still really were an earth tribute band…speaking of earth they are a vastly superior product.
Yeah, check out the Southern Lord forum too.
Great shit posted here - wowsers!!
New Earth album out in September. It will be called Hex. It will rule. Probably.
My bowels are loosening in anticipation.
Long live Doom!! Long live Sunn O))) !!!
Southern Lord definitely gets my vote for the most interesting label around (now that Ipecac quite frankly sucks).
Be interesting to see how long before the DOOM novelty thing wears off.
And the forum there IS excellent…
