Sunn O))) - Life Metal - Limited Edition Color Vinyl 2x LP - New & Sealed - Ships Fast!!!
Life Metal is the eighth studio album by American drone metal band Sunn O))). Through Southern Lord Records, the album was released in April, 2019. Life Metal was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini entirely using analog tape. The title "life metal" is an inside joke among band members and collaborators that is meant to humorously contrast the genre death metal, and conceptually contrast anything that is "not doom-and-gloom". Sunn O))) chose this as the album's title because of both the music's shift in tone and the mindset of the band members at the time of writing. In addition to Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley, the album features collaborators Tos Nieuwenhuizen, Tim Midyett, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Anthony Pateras.
Jason Anderson of Uncut praised the album, writing that "Life Metal may be the richest work in the band's 21-year mission to reconfigure Tony Iommi-worthy riffage into a soundtrack for mindful meditation." In his review for Mojo, Andrew Perry praised the album's production, writing "Albini also deserves a medal: even at moderate volume, parts of Life Metal may loosen your neighbours' guttering." Bekki Bemrose of musicOMH gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "Life Metal resonates in the surrounding air particles long after the last track concludes, and will reverberate in the minds of listeners longer still. A truly magnificent, very real, and ultimately restorative record." In the review for Pitchfork, Grayson Haver Currin wrote, "These four pieces are best suited to take over a room, to fill a venue as massive as the sound itself and, in turn, to be felt. They vibrate, pulse, and quiver. In a time where we experience so much media on a seemingly microscopic scale, from earbuds to smartphone screens, Life Metal takes up a large space, where devastating waves of sound that make actual ceilings crumble somehow become a restorative listening experience."
This exclusive pressing was released on a limited edition metallic silver vinyl of only 500 copies worldwide, which may destroy the planet if played loud enough.  Great stuff!
