For over twenty five years, sunn O))) have been challenging the way we think about music. From 1999’s The Grimmrobe Demos to 2021’s Metta, Benevolence, core founding members Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson have forged connections between the worlds of Metal, Drone, Contemporary Composition, Jazz and Minimalism with startling results while remaining true to the eternal principles of volume, density and weight. While sunn O))) history of artistic collaborations is legendary, founders/guitarists Stephen O’Malley & Greg Anderson have recently returned to the live aspect in its core, original raw form as a duo performing several tours across Europe and North America as well as merging forces with and creating new recordings for the legendary label Sub Pop. Their concerts are storied with remarkable performances at spaces such as David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center in New York, Italy’s impressive cultural complex Labrinto Della Masone, Germany’s Ruhrtriennale Festival of Arts, the Venice Biennial of Music , The Barbican, London and Manchester International Festival being a few fine examples. All hail. SUNN O))) cover art: No. 64{Untitled}, 1960 by Mark Rothko © 1998 Kate Rothko Prizel & Christopher Rothko / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
