The Pyroclasts album is the result of a daily practice which was regularly performed each morning, or evening during the two week Life Metal sessions at Electrical Audio during July 2018, when all of the days musical participants would gather and work through a 12 minute improvised modal drone at the start and or end of the day’s work. The piece performed was timed with a stopwatch and tracked to two inch tape, it was an exercise and a chance to dig into a deep opening or closing of the days session in a deep musical way with all of the participants. To connect/reconnect, liberate the creative mind a bit and greet each other and the space through the practice of sound immersion. The players across the four pieces of Pyroclasts are Tim Midyett, T.O.S., Hildur Guðnadóttir, and as always Stephen O’Malley & Greg Anderson.
The music on Pyroclasts is inextricably woven to Life Metal. It exists on the very same tape reels, was explicitly recorded by Steve Albini. The brightness and vividity of that glorious session glares through these four tracks, the precision and radiance, prismatic lustrousness of the saturation, the elemental sculptural shapes, the abstract renderings. It is a sister, or perhaps a shadow album. Or perhaps the now apparent miasma or aether. But it also exists in a form of a pause, a time space which exist in between and around the compositional structures of Sunn O)))’s titanic works.
For the listener or recipient/participant there are deep rewards within the patience of pulling down the walls and letting the music feel, and feel the music. To be immersed will reveal great detail and color, clarify image, encourage a depth of focus and stillness which may lead to a quite profound experience. Sitting inside the space of time. A deep form of elementalism, even atomism, and connection with presence moment, time and reality.
Sunn O))) would invite our audience to consider these points of perception when experiencing and listening to Pyroclasts. Sunn O))) would also invite and encourage our audience to use Pyroclasts as a lens to review and reexperience the complexity of the Life Metal album, and even to interrupt its sequence with Pyroclasts. This elaboration can bring the astute listener both abyssal, hallowed rewards.
Pyroclasts was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio on two inch tape July 2018, and mastered by Matt Colton through all analogue AAA process at Metropolis July 2019. Four of Samantha Keely Smith’s incredible consciousness memory landscapes grace the album sleeve.
Stephen & Greg would like to dedicate this album to the memories of Ron Guardipee, Kerstin Daley & Scott Walker Видеоклипы
I’ve been whistling these catchy tunes all day
*opens my mouth and a grinding sound comes out*
nice. truly reddit gold worthy
Whistling? These are farting tunes - that brown note, yo.
@@jhernandez1222 *teleports behind you*
pity lips ov yours-
To everyone claiming that this is not music and they can compose it as well: *please, do it!*
If you succeed, we have more drone to listen to and you prove your point. Everybody wins.
If you fail, who cares? In both cases we will keep enjoying Sunn O))).
please don't tempt me :)))
Very well put.
@@garvalf645 I'm absolutely tempting you. Compose some noise for us, c'mon. Prove your point!
@@Mattebodra My point certainly wouldn't be that Sunn O))) is not music, but I'll try something with deep noise for sure!
@@garvalf645 didn't meant to be harsh, just wasn't sure what was your intention eheh. I'll wait for some deep noise from you!
Every year around Halloween I teach a high school horror film class. I always pair Sunn O))) with clips from Nosferatu. Usually the phones go away and the students are pretty rapt.
Great pairing - I'd love Sunn O))) to re-do the soundtrack to E. Elias Merhige's film, "Begotten."
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx I'd like to see Michael Bay do a remake of that one, starring Jason Statham and Nick Cage.. would be gold.
Teacher of Eternity award goes to Adam MendO)))la
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx I love Begotten.... I can totally see parts of "Soused" and other selections spliced up to god carving his insides out
That sounds sick- there's a RUclips video on here for Amon Tobin's Furry Head that's paired with Nosferatu to good effect as well
to be fair, as a guitarist myself, tuning and playing these kind of sounds in synchrony for 20+ minutes takes a long inspiration and concentration about the sound you are making. this is not just about the "music", but also about a state of mind and creativity
Now that's what you call pure art
Agreed. It is extremely difficult to sustain notes or a chord for just the right amount of time, before moving to the most perfect of all the choices you have . Patience, concentration, complete muscle memory doing this type of thing repeatedly. I’ve been playing guitar for 28 years now, and I think running scales for 2 hours straight is probably easier than this, ESPECIALLY with someone else. Playing some of the most rudimentary stuff can get frustrating and time consuming at times, with one than more guitarist. This is an exercise in incredible patience, and amazing dedication to a sound that they truly love playing.
And the fun thing is that this album was the thing that this album is a complete improvisation resulting from sessions they played during the recording of Life Metal. What I mostly love about this album is the fact that it's been recorded completely on analog tape
i couldnt agree more playing half my life, the greatest stuff was always in form of jam sessions with 20 minute interludes, completely high as kites. I never wanted to make money from music so i didnt even though i got the chance. i did a lot of shit but im still happy i didnt sac myself to nuclear blast and shit.
friend of mine was going that route got a deal and then his band failed through intern problems. im happy i ever saw music as self expression and not as money generating device. Real music is about the emotions of the musicians imo.
@@wulyf4lyf not with an e-bow in your palm
This has to be one of the best Sunn O))) albums, easily.
Sunn's music is the only thing, for me, that translates into sound the power you feel from looking at a mountain. I've found it's also the perfect music to pair with the vast, open desert. Man, I love this shit.
I love this and I agree with you...but...Life Metal is pure fucking win too! Those Gibsons, man....
That is a great way to describe Sunn's music goddamn
Pyroclasts is by far my favorite. I think for atmosphere I really appreciate White2 and Black One, but Pyroclasts, as well as Life Metal, really do it for me as pure Sunn. I gotta say though, their sleeper album for me is Domkirke, Cymatics and Maesk the Atmosphere are two of the creepiest songs in their catalo)))gue.
I concur.
I have to agree as this being their best. It hits special. I would say 00 Void as the best 'mission statement ' in terms of general sound, but this album is just darn beautiful.
Sunn O))) is the audiophile ring of Sauron
I feel lucky enough to have seen Sunn O))) on 4/20 play in a cave. On album they are one thing, and in person, they are ecstasy, absolute and sonic.
omg i was there toooooooo much love from the cat-stle
seriously tho. probably my favorite experience in life
This band has given me so much vitamin D.
The whole band? Hope ya used a condom!
Wow. I never saw myself getting into these guys, but there's something ethereal and calming that has drawn me in. Makes me feel warm inside, almost like going camping as a kid and laying down on your dad's lap after he finally got the fire going, just listening to it crackle as you watch the sun dip below the trees. It just lets the mind wander...
It's like a GYBE! song that never passes the intro
Lmfao
this is great
you ever listened to lamb's breath by gybe! bro?
Never thought I would see you here❤️
Haha this made me laugh quite a bit.
love the "bob ross on a manic psilocybin trip" mountainside artwork!
darillio underrated comment lmao
Samantha Keely Smith
"Today we're going to do a lovely little painting of magmatic mountains falling into the depths of a chasm. Now remember, everybody needs a friend, so let's give that chasm a friend here...just like that. Maybe we have an ocean down here at the bottom of this chasm...who knows, it's your world friend. You can do anything you want here, including psilocybin"
Now that's fucking hilarious.
Lmao
listening to this at 6:30 AM while drinking a cup of milk tea and looking out the window is giving me such good vibes to start the day.
i'm feeling really serene today.
I love how specific this is! I visualized that and I loved it!
@@carolzafiriadi1348 thank you! glad you loved it!
Sunn O))) could literally release the same album like 20 times and I'd still love all of them.
lies (ok you got me)
Sunn O)))'s music it's like a wall, but you can go inside at the same time, always amazing.
"My Wall"?
frost always makes me feel like i'm at the foot of a mountain looking up at it and just being terrified about it, incredible track
As an avid ambient listener, I should say that this is pretty amazing. It helped me fall asleep like magic, and I mean this as a very positive thing.
I like to listen to it as I fall asleep as well.
Ah yes, one of my favorites
Sunn o parenthesis parenthesis parenthesis
for some reason, i read that in Darth Sidious voice
@@MadDogXami lawdy me that's funny
50yo brazilian metalhead here. Just discovered this band and now I'm obsessed. I really hope my neighbors become as obsessed as I am because they're going to listen to this band a lot whether they like it or not.
Praise the Sunn O)))
If you don't like this you're probably not SUNN O)))'s target audience. If you DO like it you will appreciate how EPIC this is!
@@TheKeefmaster Obviously you're not their target audience, and yet you took time out of your obviously busy schedule to point out something I'd already stated. Back to your Jamie Cullum CDs with you! ;)
A true masterpiece.
'target audience '
yikes...
beautiful album cover
I always wanted the intro to War Pigs to go on and on and on...now I've found something like that
This is truly meditative... and as a Big Sabbath early era fan you can understand why I'd enjoy this...
no
This is like a sonic bath. I want vinyl but its existence is a thing of beauty in itself.
if it hasn't happened already I'd love to hear a Swans & Sunn O))) collaboration.
Swanthony Sunntano)))
This needs to happen yesterday
that would be amazing
Ewww, new swans plus Sunn would not be something I wanna listen to. It would be like LULU from Metallica.
I doubt Gira would be into that. He generally says that he doesn't really listen to heavy music - he's certainly not a metal fan. I also think he would be put off if they chatted any of the drivel that's written in the description above.
legend has it one day at band practice Sunn all fell asleep and upon waking they listened to what they recorded.... they never looked back.
Music for scrying.
I thought this would be a good background music during working. It appears this is a no-go, as I feel like my brain is leaking out my ears and nose and I'm falling back into some mindless void.
feels like a brighter, more focused The Grimmrobe Demos.
The drop A lets me fade away
I feel I can move the mountains.
Because the mountains you became
You are the mountain brother brother
I love Sunn O)))......pure drone heaven.
))) in the listed title but only )) on the album cover
it's like they're trying to mess with me
Sunn O)) and Swans in the same day! What a sacred day it has been. "Ampliphædies (E) °" gives me some serious Godspeed You! Black Emperor vibes... for being a series of improvisational pieces, it's funny how Pyroclasts, at least for me, might even top Life Metal. Transcendence found in starvation here.
It actually tops Life Metal for me.
Give Seefeel Quique a listen mate.
... and Neil Young.
found
in starvation
from rags to ritches eh?
I said this elsewhere already, but "Clean Hands Go Foul" is one of the most interesting Khanate albums and it was also improv sessions, Dubin just wrote the vocals after...these guys shine when they're off the leash
This is spiritual music
"I WANT YOU TO PRACTICE SO SLOW THAT YOU MAKE SUN O))) SOUND LIKE SPEED METAL"
-angry music teacher
drone is a state of spirit
whenever i feel sad, i always read all the comments in sunn's albums 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last summer I grew and ate a ton of mushrooms. I put on Sunn O one night, and I had incense and a hooded bathrobe, and lights that matched the stage. It was like the TV was flowing into the room. Well, I am laughing and having a grand old psychedelic time just hamming it up and not being serious but genuinely getting into it, and the fucking camera pans over to the left, and dressed in the same robes as everyone doing the same moves is a guy with a fucking TROMBONE! I couldn't stop laughing, in a good way! It was one hell of a night to remember, and these guys sent me to another world. I couldn't wrap my head around that dramatic robed guy with the trombone!!! So awesome.
You, sir, understand set and setting. Sounds like a wonderful time.
dude drugs lmao
At this stage SunnO))) have proven they can do a movie soundtrack. The production and mixing on Life Metal and Pyroclasts has really got me wanting these guys doing a movie score.
Edit: That being said I also think this a criminally underrated album because features the most immersive, meditative and gigantic guitar drones the duo has ever put on tape. It's some of their best work without question.
Have you ever seen The Limits of Control by Jim Jarmusch? It's probably the only film I've seen that features Sunn O))) music.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it.
I’ve always loved this.
You can cut the tension with a knife, and I'm not a violent person. Brilliant.
Man what a meditation state that would be if someone paired this with Lsd on their peak
Done and Done
Very happy that this vinyl is on the way, excellently crafted beautiful and engaging soundscapes. Also I fucking adore the artwork on these releases
that painting is stunning
easily the best Sunn O))) album. no question about it for me
This is the perfect music to sleep to. It's a great way to put you to sleep, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. It's so hypnotizing that you can literally fall asleep to this, like people do at the live shows!
If y'all will excuse me im gonna go move a mountain with my bare hands now..
Best live act ever......EVER.
Seen em 3 times & each time different & each time awesome.
This is an absolute masterpiece, Sunn O))) always delivers good stuff.
Always nice mantras!!!
Suprisingly for me this is better than Life Metal. I do not know why. But this is pure drone.
You can never have enough sunn in your life.
Ahhhh Sunn .... not for everyone ..... but i love it
Some of the best material they released.
gran album gran, una vez mas sunn o))) haciendo buenos temas
Sunn O)))is an absolutely spiritual experience at its most basic. I love that the newer work has an innate understanding of this, and seeks to take the listener into an elevated realm.
sounds like dirt sliding down a hill, slowly, some clouds gathering above.
soothing sounds of the dark abyss
gives me a interesting view into metal that I never knew before
This album is nice. I am enjoying it.
You don't listen to sunn. You experience Sunn
That first note!!
No lie the opening Riff made my floor vibrate and shake. Incredible.
I can't believe I waited this long... bow down to the storm
Hmmm... Perhaps I wouldn't listen to it when I would want to listen to music, but this kind of stuff really fits the ambiance of my very dark D&D campaign and I love it for it. Also... Somehow I find this drone stuff really, really soothing, especially when I work on school stuff.
Great album
To everyone complaining about the people claiming that this isn't music....fuck all that. This wasn't made for them. It was made for us. Why do people feel the constant need to defend this band? Who gives a rats ass if someone else doesn't like it?
Everyone likes to make fun of Sunn O))) for being the band of galactic refrigerator sounds. However, I think they miss the point. I use to hate Sunn O))) for being boring but I have a new found appreciation for them after looking at them from a different perspective. First off, they're tone is phenomenal. Model Ts Are the most monstrous amp ever. I think people look at them too much like a metal band and not enough as an ambient/experimental project. I would say Sunn O))) is more akin to dark ambient then to say a band like Sabbath or Sleep. Except instead of synths and pads they use guitars and feedback. Its actually cool the monstrous sound they end up getting.
I hope someday I can go experience them live. I've heard their shows are something to experience
New Genre to me. New Band to me. Whoa!
amazing vibrations, wish they went longer...it would be awesome if Sunn released an entire album meditating on one note :-)
On this topic, the band Chord from Chicago almost does this, and it's great!

Czekalem do 44minuty na perkusje i sie nie pojawila😎😎😎
Oczywiscie żartowałem hehe
Damn - Darillio!!! I've been watching Bob Ross videos while listening to this album. Brilliant combination!!!
That makes two of us, right on !
It's a bop.
meow
my kind of song that i would happily to sing in the public
I'm the only one to see a giant camel head in the cover?
yes, because it's a crushed gorilla head
I do now. I'll never unsee it.
Omg yes lol
New fav
The description reads like a university research paper written by someone who wants to impress their professor with how smart they sound.
i love how it makes my brain go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I like it because it's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to.
Let's get this pressed on CD, please. It's no fun only having one half of a two part experience.
Ya the music just isn't long enough.
heavy meditation
Yes.
How to use this album as a synth on a desktop PC: -
Use the number keys as a keyboard.
Music no have lots of notes make it not as good
@@fabiansanchez7203 haha guitar go brrrr
lmao
basically a doom metal band so stoned that theyre lying on the couch in their rehearsal room while the amps are buzzing
This makes me wanna go into a sensory deprivation tank
Coke and bowl torture

I"m fucking addicted to this music. It heals my mind like nothing else...
my top album of 2019
I'm here because of the diesel generator meme and I pissed myself laughing after skipping to a random part in the video
para ir al trabajo caminando
22:00 made me realize I hadn't clean my ears thoroughly this morning
why? I don't get it
Daum Because he had not clean his ears thoroughly that morning.
Here comes the Sunn O)))
They must get used in movies a lot!
This music works really well for sci-fi/horror scenes where the protagonists are entering a fucked up place. That really the only compliment I can give this otherwise garbage.
It's like fizzy-pop for my brain!
The complexities of music in this state is uncompasible to others...its a state of awareness..of utter sound of life
32 dislikes? What the hell for? This is a masterpiece by all means.
Thanks Sunn!
If you mountains could speak, this is what they would say.
I love the part that goes NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
This is really weird to mosh to
You don't mosh to it, it moshes you. The sound waves undulate your body slowly like a tree swaying slowly in an earthquake.
@@nodrogdivad can confirm. sound wave ripple through your organs like a jello mold
NICE
