sunn O)))'s White1 is a sonic behemoth that commands attention and defies convention. Released on 10 August 2018 via Southern Lord, this sprawling masterpiece clocks in at 1 hour and 15 minutes, an endurance test of sound that will push even the most seasoned listeners to their limits.
Across four tracks - My Wall, The Gates of Ballard, A Shaving of the Horn That Speared You, and Cut Wooded - sunn O))) plumb the depths of drone, doom metal, sludge metal, and dark ambient, crafting a soundscape that is at once oppressive and mesmerising. The result is an album that is as much about texture and atmosphere as it is about rhythm and melody, a slow-burning inferno that will reduce all in its path to ashes.
With White1, sunn O))) cement their reputation as masters of the heavy and the obscure, their music a testament to the power of sound to transform and transcend. This is an album that will appeal to fans of the extreme and the experimental, those who are willing to immerse themselves in the darkest recesses of the sonic spectrum. So, immerse yourself in the abyssal soundscapes of White1, and discover a world of sonic extremity that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
