Pyroclasts
96k / 24bit AAD master
Recorded in the same sessions as April’s excellent Life Metal, the drone metal band’s new album is a rich, fundamentally life-affirming experience.
Five months after the issue of Sunn O)))'s Life Metal, Greg Anderson and Stephen O' Malley deliver Pyroclasts, a companion album (not a follow-up).
After plumbing the depths of drone, ambient, and metal genres for 21 years, Sunn O))) are still uncovering new ways to create deep sounds and resonant frequencies.
Pyroclasts is an album as much about blowing off steam as it is about prolonging Sunn O)))’s infernal project.
Despite its seemingly static form, the drone domain is an amorphous entity ready to be molded at the beholder's hands.
