Sunn O))) Announce 'Terrestrials' Collaboration with Ulver

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Nov 18, 2013

After a recent spurt of reissue activity, drone druids Sunn 0))) have finally announced a follow-up of sorts to their last LP, 2009's Monoliths & Dimensions. Due next year through Southern Lord, it will be a full-length collaboration with Norwegian black metal band Ulver called Terrestrials.

A due date has yet to be locked down, but the three-song affair will arrive sometime in February. According to a press release, the bands have merged together as one to deliver "a trio of movements which flow like magma beneath the Earth's crust, sonically uninhibited, unpredictably cosmic, haunting and stirring, yet simultaneously ceremonious and beautiful."

Tracklisting details have yet to arrive, though the label explains that info behind the sessions will be revealed over the next couple of months.

For the moment, you can feast your eyes on the LP art, which you'll find up above.

As previously reported, Sunn O)))'s double-LP repress of 2005's Black One is being issued November 26 and can be ordered now through the band's newly designed website.

Ulver issued their orchestral Messe I.X-VI.XM earlier in 2013, which Exclaim! described as "beautiful, strange and complex."
