Sunn O)))
Sunn O))) (pronounced “sun”) an experimental heavy metal drone duo out of Seattle have teamed up with legendary producer Steve Albini on their latest album Life Metal (an inside joke on the genre Death Metal).
The very intense opening track Between Sleipnir’s Breaths should be played at maximum volume.
