    Coming in 2014: SUNN0))) and Ulver joint release

    First, I'd like to personally welcome Duncan to the thread...always happy to have one of Sunn0))) biggest fans in the house

    So, this is pretty much awesome news:

    These guys apparently collaborated once before, but the resulting track was only available on a limited Sunn0))) box that isn't around anymore (someone correct me if I'm mistaken).

    The brains behind "Monoliths & Dimensions" and "Messe 1.X-VI.X" working together? I'm in

    Definitely will give this a listen. Monoliths was a great release but their colab with Boris, Alter is my favorite from them.

    The last track on M&D, "Alice," was absolutely haunting and beautiful, and probably my fave track of theirs overall. But yeah, "Altar" is amazing.

    Not sure if anyone here saw the film "Sinister" but the film's climax actually used the song "Blood Swamp" from "Altar" as the score (the movie had lovely taste actually...excerpts from Ulver's "Silence" EPs were also used early on). Brilliant use of their dark drones...makes me wish more filmmakers would use their sound.

    Looking forward to this one.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    It's a joint name and insignia, in that the 'O' serves as visual and physical illustration to the inherent depth of the band and their music. Which is pretty much hit and miss for me - as with Ulver's music I suppose. I have great respect for both acts, though. And I think the project in question should be interesting.

    I have high hopes on this one but you're right....not everything is spectacular. As much as I adore Nurse with Wound, the Sunn0))) collab was surprisingly "meh" to me.
