In July 2018, Sunn O))) spent just over two weeks in Chicago at Electrical Audio (Studio A) with Steve Albini at the helm. The results are astounding: there is breadth and luminosity of colour, it sounds vast. The sessions were impeccably recorded, authentically represented and completely accurate. The spectrum cracked the firmament open in clarity. An all analogue technique was used, they recorded and mixed on tape, providing a creative gateway for Sunn O))) to evolve their production methods into stronger, confident, performance based and a more logical executive process. The LP version is a AAA album, recorded and mixed on tape via a completely analogue production, from the input of the band's amplifiers and the air coming off the speakers in front of the microphones to needle touching the pressed vinyl on your turntable.
Continuing one of the main currents of the Sunn O))) concept, depth of exploration within collaboration, brought forth Hildur Guðnadóttir to the Sunn O))) constellation. Hildur is a sometime live collaborator of Sunn O))) and a renowned film music composer, former member of the bands Múm, Pan Sonic and Angel. She was a long time collaborator with the composer Jóhann Jóhannsson (RIP). Hildur lent her incredible attitude, as well as her voice, breath and electric cello, and the enigmatic haldorophone to the proceedings, culminating in the epic composition/concerto "Novæ". The cosmos clearly expands. Prolific new music composer Anthony Pateras arranged and recorded an incredible contribution of pipe organ for a piece titled "Troubled Air”.
The resulting album is titled Life Metal. It is fully realized and completely real. The record was produced by the core of Stephen & Greg & arranged by the greater constellation Sunn O))). Paintings by visual artist Samantha Keely Smith graciously adorn the sleeve and provide a perfect suitable mask to the proceedings.

Thanks for making me spit coffee everywhere whilst reading your comment! Haha
The sheet music for this 1 hour album is 1 page.
Typical,
everything now, everything accelerated....
All noises and music and stupid chatter, one after the other,
in every single case, just to avoid a mere glimpse inside, even just for a second.
Learn to enjoy time, your time.
@@alvarh9398 ok
Loooooool
finally we can hear this album the way Albini intended: via youtube streaming
You new to RUclips?
@@CAHall-dp3vi ah, it made me laugh anyways.
I usually listen in 144p on laptop audio output
@@CAHall-dp3vi you new to jokes?
@@funnyonlineuploads That's a fair question.
I like the part with the distorted guitars.
I like the part that goes BROOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I like the instrumental part that comes between the drum parts
That is the whole song, it is drone music man.
@MomoTheBellyDancer I did not hear a sound
I like the middle eight😀
I like when he strikes a chord. And lets it ring for 14 minutes
play at 0.25 if you're one of the real ones
Oh my god, its fantastic at 0.25!
Dude
No it sounds better at normal speed.
@@youtubeisevil totally agree
I just learned of this and I'm way ahead of you, lol. 2x as well... I'm a wizard, Harry.
Friend: "I got a new sub for my home theatre system"
Me: "Let's see if it's worth what you paid"
Funny, but this doesn't come close to testing the limits of a good sub. You haven't heard sub-bass in music until you've heard a pipe organ with a 64' pipe that gets down to 8hz. At that point you no longer hear anything, you just feel it vibrate your soul.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Have you seen Sunn O))) live yet? There is much more rumbling and low end frequencies going on than on the record, I dare say it'll vibrate your soul in the same way. Just like a Pipe Organ, it's something that won't come across on the record unless you hear it live. Other than that, you're correct though, the lowest pipe of a Pipe Organ is truly something to behold.
@@whiteninja2006 Not seen them live, but I can believe they could do sub-bass live. Not sure why they wouldn't do it on the albums, though. Even if you can't get the equipment to do it naturally it can be done fairly easily digitally without sounding artificial.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Not quite sure tbh, I'm not a trained audio engineer. That said, we did actually try a Sunn O))) track at my friends house to test his subwoofer (along with many other tracks, many of them classical), and it did manage to set off car alarms in the neighbourhood... from the third floor! And without us even noticing it due to the volume! The vibrations are certainly there on record, but it all boils down to the equipment I suppose.
@@whiteninja2006 You could just run tracks through a frequency analyzer to see what frequencies they reach. Very few commercial subwoofers can deliver sub-20Hz frequencies loud enough to be felt by anyone in the room, much less outside of it.
Dude takes FOREVER to tune his guitar!
Hahaha!
gold :)
boLOL
I'm dying
huhuhu huhuhu hu that's hilarious huhuhu hu
I’m so very glad I had ear plugs when I saw them. It was life altering. At first the sheer voluminous sound and low tones surround you. Feeling it all over your body. First I laughed a little at the absurdity of heaviness. Then it clicked in. I felt introspective. I felt alive. My eyes welled up with the feeling of isolation and comfort. I was alone in myself, surrounded by others seemingly in the same or similar state. The sound vibrated my entire being. I felt alive and so comfortable. Like one amazing and sustained hug. The album is an amazing meditation tool. And if you get the chance, see them live! And for god sakes, bring ear plugs AND over ear headphone style ear protection. It will NOT ruin the experience. You WILL hear and feel every moment.
now start chanting you bitch :-)
They started with the Melvins hommage when I saw them (Ra At Dusk?). Can you imagine the heaviness?
i am going to my first sunn concert soon. will it make the experience better or worse, when i smoke weed before?
@@ExtremeNuMetal neh.. you'll better do mushrooms or acid
@@arnoburtner380 no way! i would get psychosis haha
Death Metal : Fast Guitaring, Blasting drums, screams
Life Metal : Ultra slow guitaring,no drums, angelic singing
its called drone metal,
@Sathington Waltz And what does your* choice of vocabulary say about you?
@@Be_LFullStreams And what does your snob response to a clear typo say about jew?
Plenty of "angelic" singing since the early 90's. You 19? If not then you havw proven to be a musical ignoramus
@@zogwort1522 Lol your going to call Sunn O))) a gay musical concept and offer power metal as the alternative. That shit is straight up the most clean and over produced garbage in metal lol. Go fight a dragon or something.
Praise the Sunn 0)))
You are being summoned to another world

It's Sunn O))), not Sunn 0)))!
My neighbors will love this album!

You be like : "Oooooooooom" all day
You got some strong ass lungs to hum this
@petergasperan3356 Diamond ! 🙂
My guy's Mongolian throat singing in his kitchen all day
Probably one of the best things I've ever listened to. I fckin love this band.
I'm at the cool part of RUclips again
This should be played at high volume. Preferably, in a residential area.

please tell, what is that quote from. i know it. i know i know it. but i can't recall...
I just hit the 45 minute mark, and it feels like I've been listening to this for like 2 hours. This shit is time altering and oddly calming. Definitely dig it.
welcome
what alot of people dont get the spiritual side of this kind of music, they say its just drowning crap. they are the ones who dont know, or understand how to turn off and tune in.. like with other groups....EARTH, SLEEP ELECTRIC WIZARD, and so on. its all meditation. a flight into your mind and you dont have to land.....
Never will there be a better time to proclaim: Praise the Sunn!

First songs lyrics:
Not forever on Earth, only a little while here
Be it jade, it shatters
Be it gold, it breaks
Be it a quetzal feather, it tears apart
Not forever on Earth, only a little while
Not forever on Earth, only a little while here
Be it jade, it shatters
Be it gold, it breaks
Be it a quetzal feather, it tears apart
Not forever on Earth, only a little while here
Like a painting, we will be erased
Like a flower, we will dry up here on Earth
Like plumed vestments of the precious bird
That precious bird with the agile neck
We will come to an end
Like a painting, we will be erased
Like a flower, we will dry up here on Earth
Like plumed vestments of the precious bird
That precious bird with the agile neck
We will come to an end
He goes the way singing, offering flowers
And the words rain down
Like jade and quetzal plumes
Is this what pleases the Giver of Life?
Is that the only truth on Earth?

@@waterfiltermusic1995 Shut up degenerate.
Truth no end in sight no breaking no loss of life i find you and play tech n i C al sound of longest riff on earth amazing.
Antagonist to Death Metal
But from the same plane of existance
I see what you did there,,,,or did I?
Surprisingly fast for a Sunn O))) album
Play it at 0.5 speed. Pretty interesting
Yeah the fucking totally sold out
Svnn Vesperum they’re at 15bpm, disturbing
Wow the horse sample in the beginning is just like the one from a fine to die
yeah i thought of Bathory also
If you listen very carefully you'll notice that the two samples actually are identical except the one here is slightly pitch shifted to be slower.
The same sample without a doubt. Hail Mighty Quorthon!
Same here
Rain upon the impure also
A crowning achievement in Guitar recording.
Not only it is one of the best sounding-album Sunn O)))'s has ever done, but a new standard for capturing the immense complexities between each striking chords in Drone music.
a monument
a monolith
a master impedance
Ever breathe a frequency?
I assume you are being sarcastic?
There is no sarcasm on this page. sar)))asm maybe.
And it spawned its own pedal which I acquired before I even heard the album.
incredible album, you can really hear the famous Albini drum sound !
Actually, I think it would be interesting to hear drums with this band someday. Slow snare or drum hits in unison with the chords, cymbals ringing out and vibrating with the resonance of the sounding sound. Why not?
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx swans style drumming would work well
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx They made it with Boris: ruclips.net/video/rnsXA6xM5UE/видео.html (sorry I couldn't find a whole album video).
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx Maybe you should check the album "Pyedra" from the Spanish band Pylar. Let me know it you like it. Cheers.
How do people hop in the car and are like “yea let me just bump this sunn o album” lmao
I did that, and the cops hit me with a violation for driving at 5mph on the freeway...
@@davidprime6080 lol
Try it yourself. Put this record on, turn it up as loud as you can stand, start driving, and enjoy.
Nova LN best Music for the road, don’t blame the driver if he doesn’t see anything for the smoke
Great for lifting weights in a grungy basement
Slow down, man. Not every song has to be wheedily wheedily wheedily.
but wheedily wheedily wheedily is very cool
I love that the lyrics from the first song come from Nezahualcoyotl and Ayocuan Cuetzpaltzin. It seems that it could have been written a year ago.
Nice tribute to Bathory at the start
That's what I thought too lol
Hell yeah!!!! My favorite!! Hail Quorthon!!!!!! \m/
An equally epic starting track too isn't it!
This bands live concerts heal my nervous ticks.
Limes?
I wanna see them live so badly!! \m/
This gives me life.
Just saw them last night in Manchester, 20 mins or so of feeling mildly restless then just relaxing into the noise, totally losing all sense of time or language, it's like the sound the Universe itself is making, it is all of everything, it just IS
They're so happy they learned a power chord. 😊
lel
@Napalm There's a really good doom metal band called Black Tomb that I have been enjoying a lot lately. I highly recommend their songs "Under The Pine" and "Eyes At Midnight".
@@RichardDeBerryOfficial In Drop Tuning, so not THAT happy.
They’re happy you can’t play one. Good job little buddy.
@@Hairylungs If I couldn't after playing for nearly 30 years that would be sad. Lol.
Never heard of this type of music, a co-worker is going to their show tonight so I'm listening on lunch. Holy shit, this is so relaxing! It's like a brain massage if that makes any sense. Haha! It's peaceful and melodic without being all hippy dippy lala. I really appreciate this style of music.
You should listen to Leviathan next!
conner brooks bro that’s how you respond to a grown woman? By calling her a bitch? Grow up kid.
Just once, I want them to throw back the hoods and sing "Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell!"
And the cat's meow!
Seeing them live is truly a religious experience!!
i've heard that!~
I walked out of there thinking “what just happened to me?”
the rockefeller
the secret ov pulse and power outage LOL
I'm still hoping for a chance to see them live in the Netherlands.
@@mrflappie6553 you will love it
The line bethween tonality and noise
Luca Spanedda you should give bell witch’s Mirror Reaper a listen bro
This really calms me down and forget all my problems, I love it🖤
What a great and - to me at least - totally unexpected upload. Thank you so much !
This might be their best album ever.
when I was a kid( in the 80's) we had to record on cassette (generally) so on a 4 track recorder the cassette would be using all sides at once and record at high speed to get the best sound...well when you went from your 4 track recording device, and just put the tape in a normal cassette player, if you had one or two guitar tracks recorded on a standard tuned six string, it would sound Sun O))) WHEN played in a normal cassette player, because it plays so much slower than a 4 tack recorder LOL!
That being said this is very interesting in its own rite!
Me: all anyone ever said about this band was that they just sounded like "NRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR", oh well let me give em a try
LITERALLY THE FIRST NOTE: NRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
fokking great isn't
It’s an amazing first note!
I skipped ahead 30 minutes and he was still playing that note.
The album captures maybe 10%. See them live
They got the note right on the first try, while other guitarists waste entire songs looking for it.
Now that's what I call Ambient Metal!
i..can't..resist..to fall in trance with this great record.
This album gave me temporary telekinesis.
it stays permanently after the 40th time you listen
@@joeymedina4067 I'll have to try that
Total earworm. I will be humming this all day tomorrow!
This is some seriously, dangerously good music🔥
I never feel like I’m high enough to appreciate this type of metal
Try it on LSD. 200μg should do the job.
@Mr Gonorrhea they always help though
@@jeroenverbeeck7925 no, that's altering your mind hence altering the music.
I am currently that high in Colorado
Get high enough dude, I'm listening to this shit on a double hit of acid and the universe itself is bursting at the seams
What a gift. Thx.
Thank you! This has given me something to block out the bullshit at work tomorrow! \m/
It actually works pretty well in that part.
knowing the difference between online streaming and ACTUAL real life concerts (high on fire, sleep, om etc concerts), hearing to those heavy and slow riffs in reallife would probably throw you into a whole other universe
Pure art. Marvelous.
Intense stuff!! Loving this!!
Where did they find this tape of me in 6th grade playing my new Ibanez X series explorer body with scalloped frets and a Rick Derrenger DiMarzio through my crate g130c and my DOD flanged and infinate repeat
destro513 😂
Underrated
this
Infinite. You flunked 6th grade, right? Tool sez: " learn to spell, learn to spell, learn to spell, etc...ha ha.
Absolutely beautiful cello solo section near the end. The deep notes and the texture of the sound are so satisfying.
God damn I still love sunn... glad y’all are still around.
The ideal soundtrack for meditating and relaxing, thus alienating yourself from the noise of the modern world and its frenetic rhythms ... the ideal sound to get lost and abandon yourself
Beautiful!
Without a doubt, the best sounding Sunn O))) album yet.
Albini
I have to agree & I love everything they've done so far. Beautiful album.
Quarantine music
Сначала мне было тошно когда начинала слушать эту музыку, потом я начала находить эту музыку странной и нелепой, потом я смеялась и думала что это некий мем. Но я кажется вникла в суть и начинаю получать удовольствие от этих таинственных и душераздирающих звуков...
anaal nathrakh be like... cough... cough.. codex necro.. cough..
I am going through shit right now, my mate told me to check this, all of of it makes sense now
This music helps me go through shit times
It will all make sense in the end. Make sense of the lost pieces.
This is fabulous
saw these guys twice. The first time was at the old Knitting Factory, NY and we were on Valium. The second time was at Warsaw in Brooklyn, and my friends walked out. But I stayed and we all met up at the Rosemarys Bar and couldn't hear what my friends were saying to me lolz
That’s great😂 you should give Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch a listen and tell me what you think
Dude. Drugs are so cool. You're cool. What's your sign?
This gives me non stop goosebumps the whole album, windows are shaking right now.
Really, really great album.
A great awesome Sunn O))) Album, Incredible like Always We Can Expect In The Period Of Times..!!!!
Did you listen the new Slipknot song? It's freaking amazing
This made my day😀!
This new album changed my life.
my copy of it has finally arrived today, I cant wait to listen to it
One of their best albums, definitely their best in ten years. Not that they released a tremendous amount of music in the last decade but still.
This is my first time listening to Sunn O)))
I never thought I'd really "get" this band... but that album just rules! Oh and that cover... so powerful! Next vinyl buy for sure.
There. Got it. Red vinyl. Vedic astrology. PKD inspired shit. Mind blown.
that's a great album, well done
This is helping me in my sleep therapy, thanks!
you are welcome, keep sleeping.. forever.. enjoy!!!
so relaxing
Hermoso álbum ... one of the best...
*Invests in obscure high end pickups, pedals, amp effects*
*drops guitar next to amp*
*Leaves it there for 6 hours, kick it a couple times*
That's the fuckin' shit right there.. call it Goat Tooth Stuck in My Forehead.. New Sunn o))) track.
The live shows in a gothic cathedral with those stacks of sunn amps. The Wall of Sound. Transcendental stuff Mr. O'Malley.
Anyone tried playing at 0.25x speed because the sustain wasn't long enough for them?
Epic.
I want to live in an alternative universe where this is considered thrash metal.
This is probably one of the best metal albums of the 2000s (yes. I know this came out in 2019)
Not forever on Earth, only a little while here

thank you,
come to chicago more often
the amps will be warmed up and ready for you.
Amazing release🖤🤘
In all seriousness, I really have enjoyed Sunn O)))'s music over the years, and can really appreciate the effort put into recording this with Steve Albini.
Life Changing
Whole album: wooooooo
i remember being in a studio in college for the first time with really good speakers and thought "time to put these to the test"
they almost blew up
thanks the guys for doing non mainstream music
This is good music for working in the office. Can never hear the damn phone though.
This is the music that plays when your boos wants to speak with you in his office.
Thanx` för änöther Gebürtstägeschenck! :p GRIMMROBEDEMÖS! :P
This is such a great album.
So looking forward to seeing them again in Manchester.
I bought my ticket about a week ago, I don't regularly listen to these guys but I know this show is gonna be an experience I won't forget
@@sam_james_18 I've seen them twice & there is no other band like them live.
You're in for a treat.
@@dennfett I honestly can't wait, still trying to convince some of my band mates to come lol
@@sam_james_18 I've got my 17 year old nephew coming along. They are brilliant. Utterly crushing.
Can't wait till these guys finally get around to making a song
wait a another moment then, they might just get back at you in a several aeons
Good to see Sunn O))) experimenting with power metal.
Listenning to this for the first time, I guess. Its so outstanding as having an acid trip.
this album is literally an otherworldly experience
except "i took the night to believe" this maybe should the first record in sunn o))) history thats made not to feel...fear to feel.
its made to listen too and feel pure reddish black. amazing work
I like how meat and bones resonate with your flavour of whatever it is you do.
This music is meditation. I can't help but have a spiritual experience and I am an agnostic who does not believe a spiritual realm exists...except this music takes me to another place completely.
Softly it doth speak.
