| | Description: | Kannon by Sunn 0))), released 3 December 2015, includes the following tracks: "Kannon 3" and more.
This version of Kannon comes as a 1xCD. - Sunn O))), Kannon will be the first Sunn 0))) only album since beyond-magnificent 2009 album of the year Monoliths & Dimensions, and follows last year's collaboration with Scott Walker, Soused. The album was recorded with Randall Dunn and features long term allies and collaborators including Attila Csihar, Oren Ambarchi, Rex Ritter, and Steve Moore. We're also told that "It is possibly the most figurative album SUNN O))) has created, which is unusual as they usually dwell in layers of abstraction and subjectivity. On the other hand the album is the most outright "metal" in years, drawing personal associations and memories of cherished albums like Panzerfaust and Twilight Of The Gods again to the forefront of consciousness. Kannon is also very close to the cyclical character of mantra which the band has evolved into as a living creature, the enormity of intense sensate detail and manifestation of the live in concert element of SUNN O))), the organism that has flourished, metamorphosed and transcended tremendously over the past ten years."Issued in a jewel case with a 20-page booklet.

sunn250 // 2015"Kannon" is a CD release by the pioneering drone/doom project Sunn O))) (often written Sunn O))) ), issued by the influential independent label Southern Lord. Across its long-form, slowly unfolding compositions, this album explores dense, monolithic guitar drones, ritualistic atmospheres and a deeply meditative sense of heaviness. The sound is less about traditional song structures and more about immersion: towering feedback, sustained chords and subtle textural shifts draw the listener into a trance-like state that feels both oppressive and transcendent. With its carefully sculpted dynamics and almost liturgical mood, "Kannon" stands as a powerful example of how extreme minimalism and volume can become a spiritual listening experience rather than just a display of sheer heaviness.
The CD format underlines the album's conceptual unity, inviting the listener to experience "Kannon" as a continuous journey rather than a collection of separate tracks. Each section unfolds patiently, rewarding attentive listening on good speakers or headphones, where the physicality of the low frequencies and the fine gradations in tone really come alive. The production focuses on space, resonance and texture, letting the sound bloom and decay naturally, which makes the CD an ideal medium for preserving the depth and clarity of these slow-moving soundscapes.
Sunn O))) have long been regarded as one of the most important and influential acts in experimental metal and drone music. Known for their extreme volume, minimalist compositions and collaboration-friendly approach, they have worked with a wide range of artists from avant-garde, metal and classical spheres. Over the years, Sunn O))) have earned critical acclaim, a dedicated global following and a reputation for live performances that feel like immersive sound rituals rather than conventional concerts. Their discography is frequently cited in discussions of genre-defining and boundary-pushing heavy music.
Southern Lord, the label behind this release, is a key force in the underground heavy and experimental music scene. Founded with a focus on innovative, uncompromising sounds, Southern Lord has become synonymous with high-quality releases in genres such as drone, doom, sludge, hardcore and related experimental styles. The label is respected for its carefully curated roster, strong visual presentation and audiophile-minded production values. By consistently championing artists that operate on the fringes of heavy music, Southern Lord has built a legacy as a trusted name for listeners seeking adventurous, intense and forward-thinking sounds. | | | No. of tracks: |
