Sunn O))) share “Frost (C)” from upcoming ‘Pyroclasts’ album

Sunn O)))‘s upcoming 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.

Listen below to “Frost (C)” from Pyroclasts.

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.

Sunn O))) are participating in the Ten Bands One Cause charity, whereby ten Bands re-issue their albums on limited edition pink vinyl, for Gilda’s Club NYC, an organization that provides community support for both those diagnosed with cancer and their caretakers. More details here.
