I think this music has as much to do with Bauhaus as it does metal.

Lyrics:
Vowing to never rest
Despite strenuous effort
Her head split into 11 pieces
Her two arms shattered into pieces
Amitabha came to her aid
And appointed her thousand arms
An immortal
Shown in a white flowing robe
A water jar and willow branch
In her hands
The daughter of the cruel king
The tree misfortunes to come
She allowed herself to die
At the hand of an executioner
But his axe shattered into a thousand of pieces
The sword shattered too
The arrows all weared off
It is because of this
Yanluo the king of hell sent her back to
Prevent the utter destruction of his realm
Standing atop of a dragon
Sending pearl of light

When I discovered this band a long time ago, I didn't like it. I thought it was just noise and nothing interesting. But yesterday I listened to like 5 albums of them, and now, the more I listen, the more I like it, I'm hooked.

This got a thumbs-up just for the artwork.

3x speed

I try and give all music genres a listen but I just can't see the artistic merit in this, I know it's supposed to be avant-garde or experimental or whatever but to me it's just noise and that's it, and I hate saying that a song is "just" anything.

This sounds like when I first picked up the guitar and played on my shitty practice amp, hitting one string at a time. I'm trying to understand the appeal to this band, someone help me.

WTF is this? You fuckers call this music? It sounds like someone got too stoned and fell asleep on top of a guitar.

not quite my tempo

NIPON GAKI!!!!!!!!!!

ok, for all you ignorant people commenting how trash this is, its not supposed to be a technical masterpiece. Its ambient,  heavy doom simplicity. Its called drone metal, and for those of you looking to bang your heads and make some nice beautiful whirling pits, look elsewhere. But for those of you that like to sit there and be swept away by some heavy tones, look no further than SUNN O))). Also yes, their logo is based  on the amp company. Stop hating my people. Metal will always prevail. \,,/

so .. lame..

This is kind of like and kind of the opposite of black metal. It tries to create a dark atmosphere, but instead of using tremolo picking and speed, it uses slow tempos and simple riffs. And Csihar's vocals just add in to the mix. A normal person would consider this something stupid, but when you start to think about the details and the point of this music, you start to like it. The same goes for most extreme metal genres.

I still can't help but look at Sunn as a weaker version of Earth. Early Earth records, especially 2, have a completeness about them. This stuff is more pure atmosphere and no direction. That's not to say I won't put it on when I'm stoned and going to sleep.

sounds likes marilyn manson tiredly orgasming for 10 minutes. but in a good way.

LA MIA AZIENDA SI ESTENDE DA TEMPIA A TEMPIA.

Morgue of Saints ,is good too, and tyranny.

This was my first time listening to these guys and i kept waiting and waiting for a song to start but it's what the song is. Kind of like an intro to a song.

JUST FEEEL THE SOOOOUUUND BROOO GOES IN WAAAAAVEES

Sunn ((O))) is amp brand
