SUNN O))) share the new track “Butch’s Guns,” another standout from the band’s forthcoming eponymous album. The new song is available today on all streaming services.
Also today, SUNN O))) is announcing new summer headlining shows in the EU and UK.
Sub Pop has signed underground music powerhouse sunn O))) for the known universe.
sunn O))) and Sub Pop kick off this exciting partnership with three towering monoliths of low-end drone, delivered just in time for the dark weight of winter, in the form of Eternity’s Pillars b/w Raise the Chalice & Reverential, out now on maxi 12” and digital. The maxi 12” is available in two limited vinyl variants: gold vinyl via Sub Pop online (US and UK/EU), and clear vinyl via sunn O))) online and on their current European tour. It is also available to stream at all DSPs. A widely available vinyl pressing will be released later in 2025. Limited-edition merch is also available from sunn O))) and Sub Pop.
sunn O))) describe the release thusly:
“Eternity’s Pillars b/w Raise the Chalice & Reverential is sunn O)))’s premier work on the maxi 12” medium for Sub Pop.
“It consists of three brand new tracks created and performed by the iconic duo of Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson and co-produced by sunn O))) and Brad Wood. Brad Wood recorded the material at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville and Sea Grass in Los Angeles in 2025. The tracks on this maxi 12” are the first official sunn O))) studio recordings to feature only the original core duo on heavily saturated electric guitars and synthesis.
“sunn O))) gave extreme focus and care to each step and aspect of the recording, each tone and level of saturation, each gain stage and speaker, each arrangement and harmonic. The Pacific Northwest forest is our guide.
“‘Eternity’s Pillars’ is named for the mid-1980s television program created and hosted by jazz visionary and spiritual guru Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, focusing on her incessant belief in music’s capacity to attain spiritual transcendence. ‘Raise the Chalice’ is named for a rallying cry often uttered by Northwest legend Ron Guardipee throughout the mid-1990s. ‘Reverential’ equally pays respect and sends loud praise to those who came before us with the heaviest burdens, expressions with music and art being the materials of an antiphon.
“The front cover of the maxi 12” depicts the duo in the woods northeast of Seattle, through the lens of Charles Peterson.”
