This band is amazing.
Edit:
Since there is now a doom metal thread, I thought it would be wise to revive the old Sunn O))) thread to give doom a companion. In fact, this can be about drone music in general, not just drone metal.
Drone.

Re: Sunn O)))
I like them. They seem like a slowed down instrumental version of early Black Sabbath, and their imagery also reminds me of Black Sabbath.

Re: Sunn O)))
Indeed. Their usually formless music also - fundamentally, even if not in sound - reminds me of Brian Eno and his concept of ambient music. They can use percussion/drum machines effectively, but I prefer their music without any drums.
I got an album by Gravetemple, one of the many Sunn O))) spin-offs, yesterday. The first fifteen or so minutes are extremely quiet ambience, then they go through 45 minutes of doomy noise, with Attila Csihar providing very odd vocals (probably in Hungarian).
Their collaboration with Boris is worth hearing because it is very different to any of their other albums.

They sound like our petrol lawnmower as it passes over grass of varying thickness! How anyone can sit there listening to shit like that I will never know. You ought to be ashamed Mr PublicImage. Shame on you.

Re: Sunn O)))
Sound like shit to me. I prefer Eyehategod and Crowbar in the whole sludge genre, as they actually have songs, not just tediously drawn out chords and stupid monks cowels.

Sludge metal, haha. I always thought this was called 'doom metal'.
Anyway, I prefer their albums to that video, but the instrumental stuff is far better than their songs.

2 minutes of that crap was enough for me. I hope I never hear that again.

Sunn O))) is neither sludge nor doom metal. The genre is called "drone metal".PublicImage wrote:Sludge metal, haha. I always thought this was called 'doom metal'.
