Sunn O)))

The influential, self-described 'power ambient' duo Sunn 0))) (pronounced "Sun") is comprised of guitarists Stephen O'Malley (Khanate, Burning Witch) and Greg Anderson (Goatsnake, Thorr's Hammer). Their drone-heavy blend of black metal, dark ambient, and slow burning, low-tuned noise, is known among fans and critics as 'minimal maximalism'.

They have influenced an entire generation of post-metal bands ranging from Pelican and Locrian to Boris and Mono. Their robed and hooded stage mystique is a brooding, stark accompaniment to the multiple smoke machines and ear-splitting volume at gigs.
