**sunn O)))** is an American experimental band known for their distinctive take on drone metal, formed in 1998 by core members Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson. The duo's name is derived from the logo of the Sunn amplifier brand, with the addition of the "O)))" representing the droning sound they produce. Their music is characterized by extremely slow tempos, distorted guitars, and an eerie blend of darkness and minimalism, often complemented by collaborations with other artists across different genres.

Throughout their career, sunn O))) has pushed the boundaries of metal and experimental music, incorporating elements of noise, dark ambient, and avant-garde. Their performances are noted for their volume and use of fog machines, creating an experience that engulfs the audience in both sound and atmosphere. Albums like "Monoliths And Dimensions" showcase their willingness to infuse orchestral and choral elements, while releases such as "Life Metal" and "Pyroclasts" represent their continuous evolution in the realm of drone and ambient music. As a testament to their creative spirit, collaborations such as "Altar," a joint project with Japanese experimental band Boris, further cement sunn O)))'s status as pioneers of an ever-evolving sonic landscape.
