Sunn O))) – Live in concert
Sunn O))), founded in March 1998, has definitely influenced the history of music in the last 20 years with there synthesis of drone, metal, minimalism and maximalism. Especially there physically powerful live performances made them famous all around the globe.
Albums like the 1999 published "The Grimmrobe Demos", the classics "Black One" (2006), "Monoliths & Dimensions" (2009), "Soused" (2014) & "Kannon" (2015) as well as the newly published "Downtown LA Rehearsal / Rifftape" (2018) draws tight connections between metal, contemporary art, jazz and minimalism. The basic principle remained the same: Opening space to a maximum of volume and density in an elastically stretchable time. The current cast includes selected guests as well as the power trio Stephen O'Malley (guitar), Greg Anderson (guitar) and longtime band member Tos Nieuwenhuizen (Moog). For 2019, the band has recently announced a new album.
