    A relatively short review for Sunn o)))'s three track long album, Kannon.

    An overall less interesting project with Sunn o))) playing it even more safe. Less exhilarating and punishing, with the only exception being "Kannon Pt.2".

    This is beyond immersive; this is music to suffer a cleansing obliteration to.

    What’s left is distinctly Sunn O))) in scope and scale, as heavy and loud and intense as anything they’ve produced.

    The album retains a taste for annihilation. [Dec 2015, p.56]
