How to get into Sunn O)))? First albums?
What do you think of them? Any concert experiences?, etc. etc.
To get the real experience (or as close as you can get without seeing them live):
Get some GOOD speakers and subwoofer.
Unplug the headphones.
Point the speakers at you.
Max volume.
Play.

I found the best Sunn O))) album to start with, or the one that sold me on them was White2
https://sunn.bandcamp.com/album/white2-2
I was on a noise kick a while ago and this was on repeat.

step 1, don't be hungarian
those occasional random hung-lyrics are so out of place and funny-cringe it takes me out every time. a real shame.
>>68312624
Which album would be the best to start out with?
white 2, monoliths and dimensions, black one

Give me some examples of the things he says sometimes?

My first album was White 1
Start there, it's there first album with variation.
After that feel free to listen to White 2 or go straight to Monoliths & Dimensions. If you like them by that point, listen to all of their albums. Grimmrobe Demos and 00 Void are albums only hooked fans of them can really appreciate because they are otherwise very boring to the average listener.

monoliths and dimensions

Just go and see them live
I wasn't really impressed by them before my first concert. Now I know why are they so fucking great.
The performance sounded like a ritual of some amplifier-worshipping druid cult. There were tens of thousands of dollars on that small stage. It sounded like heaven and felt like sitting in a massage chair. Just make sure you have good ear protection. Not because it's that loud, but because cheap foam plugs the venue gives you just muffle the sound.

Yeah, I bought White2 right after my first concert, it's a good album that has everything this band is about.

Yeah, "megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért" was the reason I couldn't take Monoliths and Dimensions seriously, I cringed. But Oracle is actually great, and that sun-prayer at the concert was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, so I don't agree with you fully.

i think the spoken word on aghartha is worse. it completely kills the vibe
