Dec 4, 2015This is the soundtrack to the decline of our species, once again illustrating that Sunn O))) is one of the most interesting and progressive groups in heavy music.
-
Dec 3, 2015Kannon, like Terrestrials, says its three-section piece in under 40 minutes, but is a more intense, punishing affair.
-
Dec 3, 2015The abstract, astral plane trifecta of the Kannon pieces is undeniable and one suspects that the spiritual connections these masters hold with their instruments and the frequencies which emanate are deeper and more remarkable than we could have imagined.
-
Dec 11, 2015ts concise nature, glossy finish and sense of clarity (something that even extends to the band photography) suggest that, as strange as it might seem, this is not a return to Sunn O)))’s metal roots, but is instead, for all intents and purposes, their pop album.
-
Jan 28, 2016What’s left is distinctly Sunn O))) in scope and scale, as heavy and loud and intense as anything they’ve produced.
-
Dec 7, 2015Even as they add unimaginable depths to a deceptively simple form, Kannon reasserts their commitment to merely existing, unapologetically out of genre and out of time.
-
Dec 14, 2015Ignoring the conceptual background, Kannon only achieves the very cusp of the transportative, magical power of past Sunn O))) albums.
