Sunn O))) announce new self-titled album

Sunn O))) announced their signing to Sub Pop last October, alongside the release of three tracks, Eternity’s Pillars b/w Raise the Chalice & Reverential, both digitally and on 12" vinyl. sunn O))) is the first full-length album on Sub Pop from the drone metal duo, with closing track "Glory Black" being the first single from the new record.

The album was recorded at Bear Creek Studios in Washington with producer Brad Wood. Of the process, Sunn O))) co-founder Stephen O’Malley says: “The vast tracking room had big windows looking out on trees,” says O’Malley. “We could go hiking and be out in the woods, spend time outdoors. That became a big part of it.”

Although Sunn O))) have previously welcomed collaborators, the instrumentation was performed entirely by O’Malley and Greg Anderson. “What’s been happening with our performances over the last couple years with the two of us and no other collaborators has been really fresh and exciting,” Anderson comments.

In addition to its digital release, the album will be issued on two different LP variants, with the North American pressing being on opaque blue vinyl, while the UK/EU pressing will be on oxblood vinyl and will feature reversed album artwork. In support of the new record, Sunn O))) have also announced a North America spring tour, which is set to kick off on 1 April in Phoenix, Arizona.
