Sunn O))) – Oracle 2LP
Label: Southern Lord
Genre: Drone
A deluxe RSD 2025 reissue of the two-movement drone monolith, metallic silver coloured vinyl.
Originally released in 2007, Oracle is an EP by American drone metal band Sunn O))). The track "Orakalum" was recorded as part of a collaboration between the band and sculptor/installation artist Banks Violette for an exhibit at London's Maureen Paley gallery.
The exhibit took place in two rooms: one with a black stage where the band recorded "Orakulum" with Attila Csihar locked inside a white coffin, and one with a white replica of the band's stage set up (including amps and guitars) cast out of salt and resin with a destroyed black coffin. The audience was locked outside for the performance and let inside after the band left "to generate a feeling of absence, loss and a phantom of what was”.
Includes an 18x24" poster exclusive to release.
