American Live Aktio)))ns

Sunn 0))) will be heading to the Midwest for the first time in quite a while, playing shows in many cities and states they have not been to before.
The lineup for these Midwestern sonic rituals will be:
Attila Csihar - Invocations | Steve Moore - trombone, keys | Stephen O’Malley - Guitar | Greg Anderson - Bass
Joining Sunn 0))) on these live aktions will be one of Southern Lord's latest signings, Eagle Twin.
West coast dates for Sunn 0))) in August and east coast dates for September are in the planning stages and will be announced soon.
Sunn 0)))'s recently released 7th studio full-length Monoliths & Dimensions is currently being devoured by the media; the band's constant/inherent tonal devastation and atmospheric tension have soared to traumatic new heights on the album. On stage, the band has just recently conquered shows in Japan, Mexico, and have just wrapped up a European tour.

You can witness one of Sunn 0)))'s recent shows in a massive church in Leuven, Belgium at this location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a0Z2yndlOs

"Sunn’s music has shown an astonishing capacity for expansion and transformation." - Signal To Noise
"...inverts all expectations; negative space infuses their pulverizing tendencies, revealing that light is the new heavy." - Spin Magazine
"Needless to say, this is not your dad’s heavy metal.... John Cage–inspired sonic experimentation, elements of modern classical music, folk, post-rock, and free jazz are embedded under the crush of ambient feedback. Ozzy it’s not." - New York Magazine
"Per Sunn O)))'s long-standing dogma, "Maximum volume [still] yields maximum results." But this time, there's enough musical range and temperance to usher even the most resolute naysayer into this intricate wonderland." - Pitchfork.com
"This is an album for people who love their music, not something that can be dropped into a playlist for easier digestion. Monoliths & Dimensions is tremendous in every way." - Brainwashed.com
