Sunn O))) & Boris - Altar flac album

With that contrast between push and pull in mind, Altar- written and recorded largely before a joint tour last fall- risks leaving an audience stranded in the middle by inertia. Indeed, the second half of Altar does just that, leaving the audience adrift in left field with little direction or purpose.

Redirected from Altar (Sunn O))) and Boris album)). Altar is a collaboration album between experimental music groups Boris and Sunn O))), released on October 31, 2006 through Southern Lord Records.

Remarkably, this triangle of guitars with drums - Sunn 0))) normally doesn't use them - and synths feels natural here and, using only one or two chords, adds real tension to "Akuma No Kuma," the album's hinge piece. A single low chord, so low and droning as to offer discomfort, is joined by a vocodered voice (Preston) in that same tone (almost like a Tibetan monk chanting prayers gutturally, from the bottom of the throat), which gradually begins to unfold into a minimal modal if not melodic lyric frame.

The album Altar has been released in various formats, but this Japanese release is the most complete and sought after. There are only 1000 copies, all sold out!

For live performances, Hungarian-born Attila Csihar (Mayhem) has performed as the primary vocalist since 2003.

Album · 2006 · 6 Songs. 2006’s Altar makes ambient music for metalheads and stoner-rock fans, but it’s quite effective for anyone looking to experience music as an altered mental state. Guitars and synths rarely venture beyond a few chords, settling on sounds that sustain for long periods of time. Jesse Sykes adds her atmospheric vocals to the album’s breather, the 4AD-like jangle of The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep), for a slight lift from the dense orchestral fog.
