Sunn O))) released their new album Life Metal earlier this year, but they're not quite done with the world yet. Sunn O))) has now announced a second new record title Pyroclasts that was recorded at the same time as Life Metal with Steve Albini.
According to a press release, "Pyroclasts 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."
Check out a trailer for Pyroclasts below, as well as the artwork from Samantha Keely Smith. Oh, and don't forget to catch Sunn O))) on tour at one of the very many dates below.
