archive press release...

khanate “archive 35 live in stockholm”

recorded at said date in stockholm sweden may 13th 2004 was originally sold as a tour only cdr release edition of something absurd like 75 copies. again another edition of 1000 copies packed in a slightly larger 3 panel cover with vellum printed strip and static shielding bag. while billed by the band as special low fidelity version i just got done listening to the re-mastered discs that came in from the plant and it’s just evil sounding. certainly rough edges on the non-studio, content but if you’re a fan of the bands output i think this disc will be satisfactory for you.

may 2007 release; the second batch of grelp from mssrs. rehberg (pita), o’malley (ginnungagap) composed to accompany a dennis cooper theater piece entitled “kindertotenlieder” (literally; “songs on the death of children”) - i’m actually feeling this selection a bit more than the first one - now that i know what to expect ... some nice moog/guitar drone bias buildup in spots, and as always pita’s trademark black-hot granular noise fizz...

mastered at piethopraxis, köln, march 2007

cover by soma

devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed debut cd recorded in a former abattoir in angers, as well as a 16th century manor in the extreme west of france.taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of ‘theme’, the near psychedelic ‘abattoir’, and closing with the twisted romanticism of the closing ‘snow 2’. an upgrade both artistically and emotionaly.

as with the first cd elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece ‘kindertotenlieder’ by gisele vienne and dennis cooper, which was premiered in brest, france, march 2007.

october 2006 release; the debut album from the duo of peter “pita” rehberg and stephen o’malley. what does it sound like? guess... (...) yes, that’s pretty close actually. high-gain guitar-monolithery vs. hard-disck skribble.

there’s much common ground between the aesthetics of these two, nice to see them out for a play-date...

mastered at piethopraxis, köln, august 2006

cover by soma

threatening new collaboration taking in parallel worlds of extreme computer music and black metal. ktl is stephen o'malley (sunno))), khanate) and peter rehberg (pita).

a six part collision amongst the increasingly fading prescences between the light and the dark. this work came about as the two were composing sound and music for a piece by gisèle vienne and dennis cooper, entitled 'kindertotenlieder'. it must be stated that this cd is not the soundtrack to said piece, but a separate project. however, elements may appear in the finished piece which is to be premiered in brest, france, march 2007.

pieces were recorded in a resistance fortress in southern france during a thunderstorm. others in a wintergarden drenched in the sunlight.

remixes of past earth triumphs by... the 6 same artists that appear on every one of these things (see: merzbow: scumtrom, ulver remixes, voice crack, etc...) - not that i have a problem with that or anything, in fact most turn in top-notch work. still, i’m left wondering if this secret inner circle is accepting new members, and or what their secret handshake is (i bet it involves a bird-like motion with both hands coming together, then being raised aloft ...)

no quarter press release...

legacy of dissolution
by earth
no quarter
noq006 • 2005

seattle band earth have a had a less than luxurious career consisting of substance addictions, catastrophic live performances and angry record labels. yet through the tumultuous haze they managed to release a number of highly regarded studio albums in the early to mid 90's. often attributed to helping sculpt the ever so popular doom / drone / stoner metal genres, earth's influence was far more wide-reaching as evidenced by this varied collection of remixes entitled legacy of dissolution -- a fitting title for a band who existence was corrosive from the start. only lasting member dylan carlson helped compile the list of remixers, each of whom chose their favorite track from the earth back catalog. features: mogwai, sunno))), autechre, jim o’rourke, russell haswell and justin broadrick.

late summer 2007 release from drone-metal lynchpin sunn o))) ; the soundtrack to the banks violette gallery-piece (the band’s entire live/stage rig cast in salt !!!) on one side, an “experimental piece” on the other...

southern lord press release...

orakulum was originally composed for a live performance collaboration with the new york sculptor banks violette at the maureen paley gallery in london, june of 06. violette created sculptural representation of sunn o)))’s entire backline in cast resin and salt, including amplifier stacks, instruments, effects & accompaniments. in addition, black laquered stage platforms and sound panels were created as a basis for the groups actual backline setup, and a selection of drawings were presented within the context. the result of this performance and collaboration, which was conducted in a sealed gallery space, was intended to generate a feeling of absence, loss and a phantom of what once was. along with the experiment belülrol pusztít, it is intended as a document of sunn o)))’s interpretation of such said collaboration.

sunn 0))) / boris - altar (cd)

southern lord are extremely honored to present the new collaboration album from boris and sunn 0))) entitled: “altar”. this album is not a split album. “altar” is a true collaboration album between sunn 0))) and boris that is a result of both bands conceptualizing, writing and recording the album together as one entity. both groups have stepped outside their previous sounds and created a wholly unique album that stands on its own unique ground. there are elements of each groups trademark sound within the album but true to each groups progressive and experimental aspects, “altar” moves into a completely new dimension.

late 2005 release from sunn o))) with added members / mms perennials oren ambarchi and john wiese not just fleshing out the ranks, but adding so much to the overall direction the band is taking these days (check out the sample of “bathory erzsébet”... metal? hardly...) this is the first in what i hope are a series of “black” records (”black metal” i assume; the signifiers are certainly there; ultra lo-fi in spots, trebly guitars, distorted vocal gasping...) in my mind this is their penultimate release, featuring a killer solo-oren opening gambit (”sin nanna”), followed by perhaps the band’s most ohr-wurm-ish number (i kid you knot; i had the riff from “it took the night to believe” in my head for a few days straight...)

several years on (but, honestly, not that many) in my doom-appreciation phase, these guys are still the titans packing just so much avant-whatever whallop in w/the metal-vocabulary oomph of loud, repetitively monolithery. highly recommended.

maximum volume yields maximum results

“black one is the sixth and darkest sunn0))) album yet featuring very special guests oren ambarchi, wrest (leviathan/lurker of chalice/ twilight) malefic (xasthur, twilight) and john weise (bastard noise). a showing of progressive yet primitive pure subsonic power committed to tape. tonal magma explosions created under the influence of utter blackest atmospheres, sunn0))) |endlessly seeks to push boundaries and demolish pre-conceived ideas of their emminence.

with their previous two albums, white1 and white2, sunn0))) explored deep dynamics, ambience, and introduced different instrumentation to their recordings: vocals (performed by julian cope on white1 and attila csihar/ mayhem on white2), percussion (performed by joe preston on white1) and sub-sonic keyboards (performed by rex ritter/ jessamine-fontanelle).

black one continues this collaborative tradition in a rather down direction. sinister vocal performances courtesy of wrest (known for his solo work under the names leviathan and lurker of chalice) and malefic (known for his solo work under the name xasthur) literally call from beyond the grave. unorthodox and experimental recording methods were used to obtain the petrifyingly eerie tone of the voices on this album. for the epic side 4 piece, "bathory erzebet", sunn0))) procured a casket then loaded it into a cadillac hearse, and locked malefic inside with only a microphone and a severe sense of claustrophobia. the result is truly suffocating and disturbing!

the composition of black one benefits from somewhat extensive live action throughout 2004/2005 bringing more cohesive overall structure to the table. "cry for the weeper" and "it took the night to believe" incorporate atonal melodic interplay within their massive skeletons. mammoth giants crushing valleys of the drowned. listeners will still experience core sunn0))) recording fundamentals like being completely overwhelmed by massive sub-sonic droning guitar riffs. but with black one sunn0))) takes it 10 steps below the others by intensely obsessing over making the overall ambience of this album as bleak crushing, and devoid of light as only they possibly could.”

"the beast of attila csihar" cd
southern lord recordings 2003

attila csihar biography (w/ assistance from greg anderson)

i started to play music in 1986 when we formed tormentor. tormentor become pretty famous in hungary since we were the most extreme band there at that time. first we recorded a demo in 87 (“the seventh day of doom” ) from our force. we played around 100 gigs in hungary during that period. we split in the end of 1989-90 cause of the hopeless conditions in hungary.. some years later our recordings had become very famous in the underground world thanx to our fans who spread low quality tapes around.. it was cool and a suprise later to hear about the very positive feed backs from many parts of the world but it was too late then.. (“anno domini” the debut album was released only in 95 by nocturnal art productions)

then we formed plasma pool in 1990-91. "plasma pool was influenced by the very old electro “ebm” bands like skinny puppy, front line assembly, leather strip.. as well by the old current 93 stuffs. it was a very big challenge for us to make this kind of music at that time. just think, during that time there were no computers with sampler and studio softwares as today!. we were playing extreme and dark electro music and we become famous in hungary. it was going untill 1993............................. then i was asked by eurnonymous to join mayhem."

eurnoymous, varg vikernes (count grishnack) hellhammer and attila recorded the de mysteriis dom sathanas album. considered by many to be thee best black metal album of all time. the performance of attila on that album is completely groundbreaking, and often imitated. on those recordings, attila simultaneously created a new standard for vocalists, and established himself as thee premier black metal vocalist.

"after shit happened.. mayhem was split as well as plasma pool, both for strange reasons. one was the murder of euronymous (mayhem guitarist), while plasma pool was robbed by the maffia (they took our stuff).. plasma pool also become famous only years after when our first demo was released with some live tracks at a small italian label called “holocaust records” in 95-96.. "

"then i had a break.. between 93-98 i was busy with my family however we had some experimental projects in those years ( n.a.p. , himalaya, ::northpole, ..). in this period i was more into ancient philosophies"

"in 1998 i returned to the extreme metal scene when i was asked to join aborym. first i was just a guest on “kali yuga bizarre” but for the second album (“fire walk with us”) i became the only vocalist since the old vocalist had left the band"

"also in this year i appeared on one track (“from the dark past”) on a mayhem live album called “mediolanum capta est” which was recorded in milano in the same period when i did the guest vocals for the first aborym (this album was censored in some countries). "

"in 1999 i was asked to do a mayhem cover (“funeral fog”) with emperor for a tribute to mayhem album so i went up to norway to do that."

"also in 1999 we recorded a new tormentor album called “recipe ferrum” which was found very strange by many of our older fans. however especially in the last period i had many emails and feedbacks from fans saying that they understood its message and that they started to like it a lot. sometimes the music needs time to find its audience.. "

"in jan. 2000 i was in norway again, invited to the satyricon “roadkill extravagance party” and to meet my friends. that time i went down to meet with the guys from limbonic art and we done that track which also appears on the compilation." ("serpently inspired")

"also in this year we recorded the second aborym “fire walk with us”. it has been said it laid down new standards in industrial black metal. we had problems with our label as they did a very weak promotion (they almost boycotted us !!!) so we had the rightfull attention later only in the end of 2001 thanx to our us distributor: “world war 3/ mercenary music” who actually made the right promotion and thanx to such great magazines like “terrorizer”, “unrestrained”..etc. for the support! (ec we had 10/10 and album of the month almost one year after its release at terrorizer)"

"in summer 2001 i also joined a hungarian band called korog for one album since i had no band here (my hometown) at that time, so it was needed and important for me to practice and rehearse periodically. in the end of this year we have recorded a 4 track demo from which actually there is one track on the compilation. ("worshipping of current")"

“ in 2002 we recorded the 3rd aborym album: “with no human intervention”.

in this year i also did some guest vocals for anaal nathakh ("atavism"), sunn o))) ("decay") and for finnugor (is a hun-finn black metal band). also this year we founded professor fate with mick from anaal nathrakh, its a side thing, more for fun for the future. .... "

"2003: i put together this compilation, played some cool gigs with sunn o))) (including the all tomorrows parties festival curated by autechre) and then i was asked to do a mini 4 track ep of keep of kalessin (with the guys from satyricon)"

"also we are thinkin to do another side project album for our pleasure called “born to murder this world” (w. shane from napalm death, mick from a.n., and maybe necrobutcher from mayhem its really not sure and under constructions) "

"you could ask why are there lots of side things?"

"first becouse i love many forms of extreme music and art. also is just because im filled with creative energies and since i have no any seriously working band with tours and so..etc. , i have more time to do this. (however my main goal always is to play live but it seems not easy recently) "

"some words about my personal life: i have a family - wife with two kids, im an electric engineer by profession, im into high fidelity sound systems, sometimes im working for films however recently im workin at a sound studio here... "

i hope from this you can have a picture..

all the be(a)st!

april 2003 album by sunn o))). the cope input kind of ruins the epic for me (maybe it won’t for you, i don’t know), but the rest is liquid oro. listen good...

southern lord press release...

“steve and i converged in portland, oregon to record the 4th sunn0))) album (known as "white-1" album). we met up with joe preston (ex-earth, ex-melvins, thrones) and runhild gammelsaeter (thorrs hammer vokillist) at the magnetic park studios (run by our hero rex ritter of fontanelle) in south east portland. with massive help from our friends, we also played our first live gig in over 2 years at the blackbird with all the above mentioned names in tow. the result was monolithic! the studio recording is turning out to be our most eclectic, pro/regressive yet. the highlight for me thus far was witnessing runhild and joe do a vocal-drone mantra duo! also joe programmed some sick and bombastic drum machines to coincide with a all-keyboard track !!! there was enough material recorded for at least 2 seperate albums. march/april 2003 will see the unleashing of the first batch of material. so far confirmed tracks are:

1. my wall (featuring a vocal collaboration with julian cope - w/steve, joe, greg)
2. the gates of ballard (w/greg, rex)”

thrill jockey press release...

2
by ktl
thrill jockey
thrill 188 • 2007

the vinyl version of 2 is limited to 1,500 copies for the world and is presented in an old-style tip-on gatefold jacket with art-worked innersleeves. the 2xlp is pressed on 180 gram vinyl. a truly heavy collaboration.

ktl is stephen o’malley (sunno))), khanate) and peter rehberg (pita) - a threatening collaboration taking in parallel worlds of extreme computer music and black metal.

2 is the devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed self-titled debut and was recorded in a former abattoir in angers, as well as a 16th century manor in the extreme west of france. taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of ‘theme’, the near psychedelic ‘abattoir’, and closing with the twisted romanticism of ‘snow 2’. an upgrade both artistically and emotionally.

as with the first album, elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece ‘kindertotenlieder’ by gisele vienne and dennis cooper, which was premiered in brest, france, in march 2007.

stephen o’malley (soma) is a musician currently based in paris, france. he started the band sunno))) with greg anderson in addition to playing in the groups khanate, burning witch, ginnunngagap, æthenor, grave temple, and lotus eaters. he has collaborated with merzbow, julian cope, joe preston, attila csihar, lee dorrian, aaron turner, oren ambarchi, malefic, wrest, boris, earth, and z’ev. he is also a well respected graphic designer and does artwork and album covers for most of his own projects.

peter rehberg is an author and performer of electronic audio works based in vienna, austria. he has collaborated live and in the studio with russell haswell, florian hecker, jim o’rourke, christian fennesz, stephen o’malley (as ktl), z’ev, tujiko noriko, kevin drumm, carlos giffoni, mika vainio, zbigniew karkowski, rosy parlane, keith rowe, gert-jan prins, marcus schmickler, dennis cooper, jade, sunno))), lasse marhaug as well as being a member of mimeo. he also opertates the editions mego label.

staubgold 72 - various artists - "jukebox buddha" cd

15 tracks made with the fm3 buddha machine.

feat. exclusive contributions by adrian sherwood + doug wimbish, blixa bargeld, sunno))), thomas fehlmann, sun city girls, gudrun gut, kammerflimmer kollektief, jan jelinek/andrew pekler/hanno leichtmann, mapstation, aki onda, robert henke, es, alog, minit and wang fan.

it was about three years ago whilst loafing in one of beijing's finer foot massage joints that christiaan virant, the other half of chinese duo fm3 to zhang jian, began to riff mutation fantasies as applied to the buddha machine. the buddha machine is a literal translation from mandarin for the small plastic box, driven by two double 'a' batteries, that grinds out low-fi looped sutra variants across the whole of china and south east asia. the original concept was to locate the nest, infect the breeding process with the new strain of meditative sonics developed by fm3 over the previous couple of years, lop off a hundred or so clones for promotion purposes and bounce off the impact with a few european gigs. that idea died a death as soon as the little babies fell into the hands of brian eno, a rare musical expeditionary from the far west visiting china, and the notorious alan bishop of the sun city girls, who had burnt regular paths further south but had never ventured into mainland china. only just over twelve months later the little beggar polls 88 thousand pages on google (the number 8 is the luckiest number in china) and has a dedicated my space page almost as amusing as the soundbox itself when only the pope is missing from its fanbase!

on "jukebox buddha", the first chapter of buddha version, disciples of many levels stretch, compress, reconfigure, rub and dust, fuck around with the nine floating loops clipped out from fm3's confrontational world of quiet. moving straight to level four the entry from einsturzende neubauten's blixa bargeld finds the beijing resident submitting to sweeter harmonies than those with which he is traditionally associated even eschewing voice in a move that could free him from the eternal cycle of rebirth. level two devotee wang fan, longtime associate of fm3, builds environmentally friendly filigrees of sound whilst new initiates sherwood and wimbish immediately recognize the key importance of bass to the buddha. a true zen moment is struck by the shameless humour of jan jelinek, andrew pekler and hanno leichtmann's commercial but robert henke (monolake) takes a more devotional approach with a lift from his new album of droneage based entirely on loops from the buddha machine. although mapstation sound like mapstation, in an act of submission thomas fehlmann bucks the beat and builds floating layers of naked vocal. the sun city girls prove they have visited more temples in the east than any other westerner and sunno))) arrive from a different dimension with a restraint not common in their work of late. in fact, the absence of self indulgence pervades many of these contributions, as with minit whose contribution is the only one to actually sound like fm3 but none more so than gudrun gut's analysis of the creative process employed in producing the track she has offered here.
