Description:
* SUNN O))) is proud to present their 7th studio album, after 10 years of existence, entitled Monoliths & Dimensions. The album showcases the core guitar duo - Stephen OMalley and Greg Anderson - incorporating influences from a plethora of guest musicians, bringing the SUNN O))) sound to epic new levels. The band also collaborated with composer Eyvind Kang (notable for his work with John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell, etc.) on various acoustic ensembles, in addition to the Helios fueled electric guitars and basses. Key players on the album include Australian guitar genius Oren Ambarchi, enigmatic Hungarian vocalist Attila Csihar (Mayhem, Tormentor, etc.) and slow music godfather Dylan Carlson (Earth), as well as a brass section: Steve Moore (of Earth), Julian Priester (worked with Sun Ra in the 50s, John Coltranes African Brass band, and Herbie Hancocks Sextant band) and new-music horn player Stuart Dempster. Theres also an upright bass trio, French & English horns, harp & flute duo, piano, reed & strings ensembles, and a Viennese womans choir led by Persian vocal savant Jessika Kenney.

* The album is not SUNN O))) with strings or metal meets orchestra material. The band took an approach concentrating on more of allusion toward the timbre of feedback and the instruments involved, so the piece is really illusory, beautiful and not entirely linear, stating that the end product is the most musical piece weve done, and also the heaviest, powerful and most abstract set of chords weve laid to tape The album was recorded and mixed by Randall Dunn & Mell Dettmer at various points over the last 2 years, and will be released:

* Monoliths & Dimensions is practice in density, gravity and momentum.

* Australian tour dates to be announced shortlly
