I had the fortunate opportunity to see Sunn O))) at an amazing set at the Mercy Lounge in Nashville September 30, 2009.

It was a face-melting experience that I won’t soon forget. Namely because I recorded a good portion of it. I apologize for the bad sound quality. I was right up front and did not figure out a good way to pad the microphone appropriately.

Sunn O))) is widely recognized as Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson, but at this concert they had a guy on the synthesizer who also played trombone. Attila Csihar from Mayhem performed the vocals as seen in the later videos.

This is a playlist of youtube videos, since youtube only allows 10 minutes at once. Just click on the corresponding arrows on the window to move between the different shots. Each are around nine and a half minutes.

You can buy their new album now. I hear it’s pretty great. There’s a lot more instrumentation than in their previous endeavors, but it’s supposed to be getting a lot of good reviews.
