Via The Morning News, an absolutely wonderful and spot-on article on doom metal/review of Sunn 0)))'s latest, Monoliths & Dimensions. It's best summarized by a conversation the author has with Jim Jarmusch, at the end:He spoke about the "dream architecture" in the music, how "beautiful" and "peaceful" it could be. "It can be heavy and dark," he went on, "but that peacefulness is because they ta...

Monday is my day in the office, and I'm separated from my music -- which is a particular shame because The Morning News highlighted an article, in The Believer, on U.S. black metal. And thank God, cos I'm bored as snot. Photograph of D. of Vrolok, in 2004, by Joshua Heckathorn What was more interesting than the Scandinavian mythology that underpins black metal (not death metal, thank you, keep ...

It’s my second night in a row at The Independent. It would be wildly different than the night before.It still took me only 15 minutes to park (yay!) and I was surprised that my guestlist spot came with a VIP wristband…but was very glad it did because I was one of the only girls [...]

Every step I take incites a symphony of cackles from the lunatics seated in the pews. Where do I sit? Should I sit? Why am I even here? I last saw my girlfriend two hours ago. She was talking to a black-haired boy wearing spats and violet cape. Who was he? Does he work here? Of course he doesn't. It's a musty old European church. No one works here but fake monks and tour guides. Still, someone ...

[09-19-2009] sunn 0))) and Eagle Twin packed AS220, the legendary Providence community center and art space. (Well, sunn 0))) drew the crowd, but Eagle Twin proved themselves good enough to headline a future tour.) I arrived at 8:30, half an hour after tickets went on sale and half an hour before the doors opened, and the line stretched maybe 200, 300 yards down the sidewalk. It was a long queu...

Sunn O))) came out last night in a completely different form than what most people would expect. Colorful rainbow confetti streamed down from the rafters of the small stage at sonar, images of rainbows and baby deer galloping across grassy fields were projected onto the audience. They brought out their acoustic guitars and started [...]

For a band that plays at the speed of death, these dudes sure have been hitting the road pretty fast and furiously lately (at least, for them - remember, only a few shorts years ago this was a band that wouldn't be caught dead on a stage within three years of their last performance). However, [...]

Plenty of news coming out of ATP HQ today, the biggest item of interest is a London show for Sunn O))) - everybody's favourite dronesters. They'll play the KOKO on 14th December 2009, with support from the rather impressive OM (who also have a record out very shortly).

Drone-ambient-doom-based duo Sunn O))) are just a little bit strange. Often dressed from head-to-toe in full hooded attire and creating some of the most hypnotic, noisy yet atmospheric and organic alternative music today, they've been favourites here at SG for a long time and so we're more than happy to announce a UK tour set in stone for December of this year.
