The ’space metal’ (or, as I call it, trance metal) band Sunn O))) has recorded a track called “Cymatics.”

You can read a review of the record, called Dømkirke, here, although you won’t be able to hear the track unless you have patience and a turntable, as it was only put out on vinyl. (I have nothing against vinyl but I don’t have as much patience as people think I do).

However, I thought it worth mentioning since I was able to listen to their previous recordings and was immediately taken with their music. You can listen a sampling of Sunn O))) here, or you can go to pandora.com and type in Sunn O))) to hear more.

I’ve been listening to it while working on my Cymatics (and while painting the walls of my studio this morning at 6:am, between the fumes and the music I got into quite a trance state).

The sound of space metal is best described as a tapestry of trance-inducing cavernous guitar avalanches in slow motion…

When I say trance-inducing however I mean not like any trance state I’ve experienced before – it’s definitely not the quiet, contemplative state created by listening to a cd of ocean waves overlaid with harp or even recordings of binaural beats…

This experience is like being completely ‘zoned,’ yet absolutely wide awake and psyched – the closest thing i can compare the feeling to is drinking an irish coffee.

Anyway here’s a quick exerpt from the review of their ‘Cymatics’ track…

 ”The upheaval of history or religion or really big amps in a stone-walled room finally comes to pass during ‘Cymatics’, where noise, electronics, and Csihar’s screams converge, with feedback flailing above a massive bass and barely-there organ.’

Read more if you want, but definitely check out the band. I can’t wait to see what happens when I put one of their tracks under a metal plate…
