Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions (2009)

Genre : Ambient Drone Doom
Country : United States

This is the last full-length of this American band. This album is a step forward in the Drone Doom genre with bleak melodies, ultra-heavy riffs, perfect distortion, slowest rhythm, dark passages, Ambient influences, sick atmosphere, tenebrous moments, hellish female choirs, gurgling spoken vocals. This album is for all fans of the genre and open mind Doomsters. Listen this album before criticism. Highly recommended!
