I mean, SERIOUSLY, is it any good? No pretentious elitism bullshit please, DO YOU LIKE THIS RECORD, I MEAN TRULY LIKE IT?

I heard the first track of White 2 and it bores the shit out of me. Boredoom at its best. How does it differs from the new record?
 
Bored? Sorry, but I don't think you quite get it yet. Sunn0))) is not about keeping you entertained or interested, just melting your brain.
 
"For the epic side 4 piece, "Bathory Erzsebet", sunn0))) procured a casket then loaded it into a Cadillac hearse and locked Malefic inside with only a microphone and a sever sense of claustrophobia. The result is truly suffocating and disturbing!"

I have the promo, that's the press release. Haven't heard it yet, but you know, press releases are always spot on.
 
Black One fucking rules. if you don't like Sunn O))) but think you might someday, this is the one to get. that doesn't mean they've gone pop, but with a handful of shorter songs with some more stuff happening, it's an easier pill to swallow than their other albums.

What do you mean by "melting your brain"? And come on, track #1 of White 2 is absolute garbage. How can anyone remotely LIKE this track, out of pretentiousness...it's not possible. And don't get me wrong, I love ambiant stuff, especially dark ambiant...but if it's 3 notes looped for 15minutes, it's totally worthless.
 
time out New york, the weekly party mag reviewed it last week ... even they liked it ...

nevermind, don't waste your time on Black One.
 
By the way... we saw Sunn/Nachtmystium on Tuesday. Let's just say...

The place was about the size of my room at home. After Nachtmystium blew up a Marshall half-stack and couldn't do any vocals, Sunn came on and the place filled up with faux-smoke so you couldn't really see three feet in front of you. Two guys come through the audience in druidic robes, and basically there's the background drone for five minutes. All of a sudden, one of the guys leaves, and comes back with another guy. The new guy goes on stage, pulls his hood down and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM fucking loud as fuck opening riff. The guy screams in synch with the first "note" and at this point, it is very obviously Malefic.

Dude, this is music that can't be explained. Either you get it or you don't. Any amount of words/descriptions of experiences/etc. won't get you any closer to Sunn0)))'s inner-chambers. Try drugs.
 
I have a dream..one day people will stop listening to SHIT, I MEAN TOTALLY SHIT, SHITTY AS IT CANT GET MORE SHITTY bands like SUNN0))))))))))))))))) and start being interested in GOOD RIFFS AND MELODIES. SUNN0000000--- is the MOST PRETENTIOUS CRAP THE WORLD EVER FACED, but they are good merchants, the retards who buy their material (WOW THEY HAVE SUCH COOL AND ARTISTIC ARTOWRK BUT THE MUSIC IS SCAT, WHO CARES MAN LOOK AT THE COOL BEHEMOTH) need a castration.

Yea, Malefic did some totally sick vocals when I saw them last weekend. Did they have the crazy shaved white guy doing interpretive dance at your show?
 
Lol yea, they had 4 guys on Stage in Robes, Greg Anderson, Steven O'Malley, Malefic (Xasthur), some guy on Moog (cant remember his name) and this other guy, shaved from head to toe, and covered in a semi-white dust. For two hours he did this painstakingly slow interpretive dance to the music. I dont think I would have the patience to do that.
