It’s been 4 years since Sunn O))) launched Pyroclasts, their final album. Now, the legendary drone-metal wraiths are again with two new songs that they’re releasing as a part of Sub Pop’s grand, storied Singles Collection. The 7″ single isn’t a format that the majority of us affiliate with Sunn O))), who wish to stretch their ominous instrumentals out into infinity. Meaning these new tracks quantity to bite-size Sunn O))). They clock in at slightly below six minutes apiece.

The brand new Sunn O))) tracks are known as “Evil Chuck” and “Ron G Warrior.” The latter title presumably works as a reference to Celtic Frost frontman and underground metallic legend Tom G. Warrior. I don’t know who “Evil Chuck” is about, so I’ll assume it’s Sunn O)))’s ode to Charles Barkley till somebody tells me in any other case. On these songs, Sunn O))) get frisky with their sound, including components of lure and hyperpop. Simply kidding! They sound like lengthy, eerie drones. They’re Sunn O))) tracks. Right here’s what the group says in a press launch:

In Sunn O)))’s twenty fifth 12 months, that is a unprecedented “full-circle” second for us. We grew up in north Seattle, started our musical collaboration in Seattle within the early 90’s, and had been raised on the Sub Pop singles collection these days. The collection had an unbelievable historical past, with lots of our favourite bands taking part. It’s additionally Sub Pop’s thirty fifth anniversary, Earth 2‘s thirtieth anniversary, and the Sunn O))) Mannequin T’s fiftieth anniversary this 12 months! Sunn O))) wish to thank Jonathan Poneman, Nick Turner, and the entire Sub Pop staff for inviting us into this legacy.

Hearken to “Evil Chuck” and “Ron G Warrior” under.

The “Evil Chuck” b/w “Ron G Warrior” single is out 10/25 on Sub Pop. Sunn O))) will have a good time the one’s launch by taking part in Seattle’s Moore Theatre. They’ll share the invoice with Earth, who will carry out Earth 2, and with Jesse Sykes, who will play with Phil Wandscher.
