[Chromatose]

oh neato, didn't know wrest was going to be on there.

 

[MFJ]

I think I may have just creamed my pants.

 

[M.Lehto]

That cover is Forest Poetry ripoff.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

The fact that there are people who like this band, is one of the most weird things in the universe.

That cover is Forest Poetry ripoff.

Meh, who cares, half of all black and death metal album covers are "Transilvanian Hunger" and "Symphonies of Sickness" ripoffs anyway

I know, I just left the smiley of, since I was using that quick posting-thing.

Anyway, it really reminds me of Forest Poetry.

There is no way I could disagree with this statement. You hit the nail on the head there.

What's with the USBM musicians? What could they possibly bring to Sunn O)))?

 

[MFJ]

Maybe Sunn is trying something new! That's why I'm so excited to find out!

 

[Nico]

I just don't see how USBM and extreme drone doom could possibly have anything to offer one another...

 

[IOfTheStorm]

noise instead of music

 

[MFJ]

Anyway, it really reminds me of Forest Poetry.

I can see where you notice a lot of similarities, but I think this Sunn cover is A LOT better... Wrest could have easily done it (even though he didn't), for it really reminds me of his style!

 

[M.Lehto]

Oh, here's one of the Forest Poetry pictures if someone wonders whatta hell am I talking about.

Yes, listening to White2 I certainly got the feeling they want to do something more than generate uninterrupted feedback for twenty minutes, and I think collaborating with the likes of Wrest will work, especially if they add some dark ambient textures...

Oh yes, that cover art is the shit.

 

[MFJ]

:Smug:

 

[NAD]

Nifty cover. Looking forward to this. Sunn O))) rules. Noise instead of music indeed.

I just don't see how USBM and extreme drone doom could possibly have anything to offer one another...

Well I certainly don't listen to or play only one style of music. :Spin:

 

[AsModEe]

Call me ignorant, but what kind of metal is Sunn O))) playing anyway? ( and who the fuck found that band name? )

 

[Chromatose]

( and who the fuck found that band name? )

the amp

for example
