Boomkat Product Review:

In the wake of ‘White1’, Sunn 0)))’s equally whelming ‘White2’ receives full remastering by Matt “The Alchemist” Colton for its 15th anniversary edition, re-awakening its ungodly spirits to utterly jaw-dropping effect

Building on the energies unleashed with White1, Sunn 0))) go deeper into the abyss of subharmonic distortion on White2 flanked by torch-carrier Attila Csihar ov Mayhem along with Dawn Smithson (from Rex Ritter’s former band, Jessamine), and fellow explorers Nate Carson and Joe Preston. Like White1, this set was originally intended to be acoustic, but fate worked its ways, leading the clan to a trance-inducing electronic conclusions.

Ask almost anyone who’s spent time with this one, they’ll might well tell you that Decay2 (nihilis’ Maw) is one of the most powerful Sunn 0))) tracks in their immense catalogue. Featuring seminal and hugely influential BM vocalist Attila Csihar reciting in Sanskrit from the ancient Indian Veda, and tied to their tarriest bass, together with Decay (The Symptoms of Kali Yuga), it towers over almost everything else imaginable, and still hasn’t been surpassed to this day.

Factor in the sky collapsing rifle of Hell-0))) - Ween, and the plasmic dubbing of Bassaliens, and you have one of this century’s first great Metal albums - a record by which to mark everything that came before it, and since. Now sounding closer to their original intentions than ever before, if you don’t know it, there’s never been a better time to go head-first into Sunn 0)))’s black hole.
