Named after a rare amplifier favored by the Melvins, Sunn O))) play impossibly loud drone metal. The duo dons black robes, cranks up its equipment, and patiently builds through a series of tones until a claustrophobically dense sound fills the room. Although "heavy" is still their guiding criterion, Sunn O))) disregard all expectations of what metal should sound like, taking inspiration from minimalists like Phillip Glass and John Cage while maintaining metal's visual stereotypes and sonic palette. The end result is as much rock show as dark ritual.
