Ulver collaborates with Sunn O)))

[MajestikMøøse]

I saw this on the Ulver page:

In between: A collaboration with our long time friend Stephen O'Malley and his SUNN O))) has taken place. The result is a 15 min. epic with Julian Cope speaking out of the dark. The piece is commisioned for a Swedish radio broadcast, and it will be on SUNN O)))'s bastard WHITE 4LP BOX scheduled for spring 2005.

Let me try to predict Adrian's response:

Blood rush...
Boner rising...
Boner extending...
Boner... fully... erect...

 

[Hell Mike]

when on radio?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

eh.. it doesn't say.

 

[NAD]

Yeah I saw this earlier on the Ulver board, and your prediction is pretty close.

Oh fuck me, I love Sunn 0)))! SOLD!

 

[JayKeeley]

What does this mean: <3

 

[NAD]

<3 = heart on its side = love

I remember seeing it quite often during my brief AOL stint last year, finally figured out what it meant.

 

[J.]

how do you pronounce Sunn 0)))??? particularly the "0)))"? Is that kinda like the Artist formerly known as Prince symbol?

 

[NAD]

A buddy of mine pronounces it "Sunn Ooooooooooo-o--o-o-ooo" and that pretty much does the job.

Although I doubt the 0))) is pronounced, because Sunn amps (where the band got it's name) are just referred to as Sunn.

PS this just gave me a 50 foot boner that cannot be heard by humans, only felt:

 

[NAD]

That amp was once owned by Buddy Miles. I just Peter North'd my desk.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Better get a new desk.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I hear that the band tells the audience to lay down and close their eyes or something during the set and they play behind the curtains. Soemthing like that. Anyways, I couldn't even imagine being at a Sunn O))) event. I'd probably either A) have an outer-body experience, or B) throw my guts up. Either way, under the right influences, it would rule.

what is the story with Atilla Csihar (the mad Hungarian ) doing vocals for these guys ???? found this pic on southern lord with no explanation.

 

[Krilons Resa]

He's on one of the songs (Nihil's Maw) on White2.

 

[NAD]

Doomsniffer forgot to mention it's one of the creepiest vocal deliveries EVAR. Think I'll put that on now...

 

[lurch70]

Does he have a creepy hungarian accent ala Landau as Lugosi in Ed Wood ?

 

[General Zod]

This and another RC thread is the first I've heard of these guys. Can someone give me an idea of what they sound like? Thanks.

[Krilons Resa]

Have you ever heard Earth? It is bass drone for the most part.

 

[General Zod]

Have you ever heard Earth? It is bass drone for the most part.

No, never heard Earth. Bass drone? Odd.

Sunn 0))) is pretty much heavy noise. I prefer their later material (the White Albums ) because they rely less on a wall of sound and more on creepy textures. Not as inaccessible as a group like Khanate, but I couldn't recommend these dudes to anyone unless they were looking to be psychologically disturbed.

@lurch: Quick! Who would win in a fisticuffs match, Landau or Lugosi?
