<biography>
Stephen O'Malley (G)
Greg Anderson(G)
SUNN O))) was created in 1998 by Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson. Their
collaboration and direction continues to exist through expanded constellations
and various forms. SUNN O))) produce explorations in drone, psychedelic and
experimental minimalism/maximalism as well as fusions with such underground
metal cultures as Black, Death and Doom Metal – the former defined by its
abrasive guitar sounds, uniquely demonic vocal stylings and dark, dramatic
lyrical content, Death defined by its excessive adheration to the heaviest
guitar sounds possible, and the latter often characterised by low and slowly
played distorted guitar tones as well as nihilistic lyrical content. SUNN O)))'s
emphasis on collaborative practice sees them working with an array of artists
from different traditions, performing with experimental composers and sound
artists, as well as musicians deeply rooted in underground music, sound and art
cultures.
