sunn O))) is an American drone-metal group formed in Seattle in 1998. Its music is built on sustained, down-tuned guitar tones and has been documented on albums including Black One, Monoliths & Dimensions and Life Metal. In 2007, sunn O))) performed inside Bergen Cathedral, and the concert was released as the live album Dømkirke. The group later mounted the Life Metal tour in 2019, presenting its long-form pieces in theatres and at festivals. The concert format centers on heavily amplified electric guitars, extended low-frequency drones, hooded robes and dense stage fog. At the center of this format are Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson.
