Hey all you DOOOOOOOOOOOM shitballs!

[Nate The Great]

I just thought you'd like to know I have the new Sunn 0))) . . . 'White 2'.

. . . and I probably won't have time to tell you what it's like until I get back from my upcoming 2 week vacation.

SUNN O)))
White2

Official text:

BLACKFEEDBACK VIOLENCE

With their fifth album, "White2," the celebrated SUNN 0))) partnership of guitarists Stephen O'Malley (Khanate) and Greg Anderson (Goatsnake) bears its blackest fruit yet: this is profound music for those beyond burnout, for those wishing to lick the void, for those who want to kill time dead or just step outside of it for a while.

You get three epics here. First is "HELL-O)))-WEEN": the sound of leviathan riffs issuing from subwhere, the worksong of tarry entities crawling through the cold veins of the universe's dark matter. This is the cut that cleaves closest to SUNN O)))'s initial mission as living-homage to legendary slow-drone goners Earth: it starts slow and then...slows...down....some......more. It is a fantastic grounder and a great party-ender. Keep it close. Next is "bassAliens," a sprawling, buzzing, squeaking headcase cross-section composed of unfound space, tolling guitars and blackfeedback violence. Everything decays before your ears. Fans of Coil, Keiji Haino, Non and Godspeed You! Black Emperor will soil drawers on this one. Final number is the stunner, the breakthrough hit: "Decay2 (NIHILS' MAW)," in which the SUNN O))) darklight shifts to guest vocalist Attila Csihar, just as he falls into the pit of a beast. Or did he jump? Hard to tell: against a swirling, droning miasmic backdrop, Attila's majestic chanting and throat-singing suggests devotion as much as the eternal sadness of a sun-less mind. If you've still got some human in you, this will move you. Darkness knows no borders. —JAY BABCOCK/ARTHUR MAGAZINE

<-- jealous

 

[Black Winter Day]

<--- needs it

sunn0))) are one of those rare minimalist bands that you don't feel like you're wasting time listening to them.

 

[Nate The Great]

You've probably heard some different bands use them. That is where Sunn 0))) got their name, I believe.

 

[Nate The Great]

Tube amps FUCKING.CRUSH.EVERYTHING.

 

[NAD]

Tube amps FUCKING.CRUSH.EVERYTHING.

YES.

I've always wanted an Orange amp and I've never heard one, except probably on recordings.

 

[NAD]

<-- listens to lots of hippie music

I want a David Eden stack too, shit's too expensive though. SWR RULES OMGOMGOM!!!1111

 

[JayKeeley]

No Runhild Gammelsaeter on the new SUNN 0)))? That's a shame.

I'm going to listen to Dommedagsnatt this weekend. I suppose I might as well just sit on the toilet while it's on to save on underpant soilage.

 

[unhinged]

nice

 

[JayKeeley]

By the way NAD & BWD, this promo came in a while back. I'll get a new list of promos sorted out this week, assuming everyone can get their backlogs sorted....

Papa Josh just submitted 9 reviews a couple of days back, including a 10/10 result!

By the way NAD & BWD, this promo came in a while back.

BAWRNG!!! Since I got the first one it's only fair someone else get the second, but I'd love a CD-R from said receiver.
