Sunn O))), Dead in the Dirt, Loincloth, Fontanelle

[MONOLITHIC METAL] You value your ability to hear, right? I would imagine so, as you likely wouldn’t be reading the music section of this paper otherwise. Well, let me be the first to encourage—nay, insist you protect your ears accordingly when Sunn O))) comes to town. The live performances by this long-running, extreme metal outfit are known for two things: an abundant use of smoke machines and volume levels that will reduce your poor eardrums to useless flaps of skin if you’re not careful. Plug up them ear holes properly, and brace yourself to absorb wave upon wave of dark, brutal sound.
