Sunn O))) August 6, 2009

Sunn O))) (pronounced simply sun) is an American drone metal band in its broadest sense. However, it incorporates elements of the dark ambient, black metal and noise genres as well. Their sound is extremely slow and heavy, using droning guitars accompanied by feedback and other sound effects to create their soundscapes. There is very little drumming and a lack of any discernible beat. When performing live the band emmbers wear long hooded cloaks, fill the air with fog, and play at an extremely loud volume. The band consists of Stephen O'Malley (Khanate, Burning Witch) and Greg Anderson (Goatsnake).
