Monoliths & Dimensions

Practitioners of the glacial school of extreme-volume music, Sunn O))) are the leading exponents of doom, the darkest and heaviest of all metal sub genres. While the group's black-cloaked garb & ritual theatrics have firmly aligned them to the imagery + aesthetic of metal, leader Stephen O'Malley's numerous forays into noise & experimental music, and member Greg Anderson's sideline as label head of Southern Lord (the leading label for adventurous metal) has fashioned the duo as gatekeepers to metal's uncharted paths.

'Monoliths & Dimensions', the seventh Sunn O))) album, continues the monolithic low-end throb & stentorian guitar drones the duo are best known for, and features an array of past collaborators (Attila Csihar + Oren Ambarchi) plus brand new guests, Julian Priester (trombonist for Herbie Hancock & Sun Ra); Dylan Carlson (Earth); and avant-garde composer and violinist Eyvind Kang.

Sunn O))) are: Greg Anderson & Stephen O'Malley.
