SUNN O)))
Domkirke

Superior to "White1" and sounding like it really means business, this album revels in taking the Sunn0))) drone concept to its farthest limit. The grand declaration of war sounds off in opener "Hell-O)))-Ween", a series of monumental twisty-turning guitar riffs that are actually very restrained and not at all scary. The weather changes in "bassAliens" - the withdrawn guitar scrapings bring up a dark chilly feeling and the space embracing the piece seems cold and damp. Guitar tones suggest raindrops and drones hint at mists and grey clouds drifting toward us; as the track progesses, choppy textures herald harsh winds and other disturbances in the atmosphere and beyond.
 

White1 marks the fourth missive from the darkest regions of Sunn O)))’s distorted, drony netherworld. Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley’s newest long player follows a year after the excellent 3: Flight of the Behemoth, a record that broadened their sonic palette with contributions from Japanese noise guru Merzbow.

Con "Flight of the Behemoth", secondo full-lenght ufficiale dei Sunn O))), si manifesta in tutto il suo sulfureo splendore la grandezza della formula che ha reso celebri Anderson ed O'Malley, ed al tempo stesso si viene a palesare il vuoto che sorregge le fondamenta della maestosa cattedrale di suoni da essi eretta.
