Sunn O))) & Boris - Akuma No Kuma

[CadaverKevin]

This is Intense!!!  I'm new to making drone! Check out my Song on my page Thanks!!!

[TheNatalpa]

it's not music.It is full body experience. At least live on stage.

[MrSpiderman666]

if you like this - and don't object to drum beats - have a listen to legion of two

[perrottafamily1]

SHOOOOOOOOOOM! Epicness.

[mahamrityumjay]

fxckin drum beats ruined the atmosphere

[AStormOfSwords]

The following plug-in(s) has crashed: Reality.

[Zitoslav]

awesome

[ChordsFromTheVoid]

those vocoder/autotune vox sound amazing. actually everything about this is done right

[jeffbeckrules]

I love the album art work. Goes without saying I like the music.

[jeffbeckrules]

I love the album art work.

[blueguitarist]

dr(((((((((((((O))))))))))))))­ne

[guitarmessiah101]

This is quite interesting to hear sunn do something with drums and boris' particular flair

[Agrianne6]

epico es poco

[Infernalhermit]

Now this usually isn't my cup of tea/beer/beverage of choice or whatever, but it's interesting.

[jessehicks]

weird al should do a parody of this

[kaakatin]

I'm sure these guys have a lot of chicks backstage.

[impcirca1988]

oh emm gee, 12 people are blahblahblah... something about justin beeber... fuckin... something.

[chronicreptile]

the drums ruin the stance a bit for me.

[dimebagdave77]

that gong is a nice touch!

[mooroopoo]

Awesomely majestic

[hinni4]

This is such a great album

[SantomPh]

"akuma no kuma" = the Bear Demon?

[Rhocake]

I need this album!

[DuelingGhandi]

This is the music that God listens to when he drives through space in his dune buggy.......It is 30,000 parsecs in length and weighs more than a billion collapsed stars. It is drawn by titanic flaming horses and has a sound system so loud that it vibrates the fabric of reality with every note played. It is the "Doom Buggy".......I too am incredibly stoned right now.

[MetallHead9]

@DuelingGhandi You, sir, are awesome!!!!

[The3PhoenixWithin]

@DuelingGhandi God doesn't exist/so this can not be possible/thus the weight of 14 parallel universe shifts & as heavy as 14 colliding moons *R~

[IndeclineKills]

yes sunn + boris= waves of fuck yeah

[piotrods]

This is by far the most incredible album I have heard in a very long time. Just when I thought music was hopeless I hear this. Amazing...Altar is a masterpiece of our time!

[cammo6901]

sunn and all drone isnt meant to be hardcore or fast or dancable, its music that stirs emotions or feelings. like music should

[RCAvhstape]

@cammo6901 The concept of "drone" music is not new, either. Listen to Georgy Legetti's Lux Aeterna from the soundtrack of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1967). It's played during some of the exterior shots in space. This remonds me of it so much.

[StAngersucks]

music is organized sound. if i record my cars engine, it's music. not necessarily good music, but it is music.

[Hjaltivondi]

This is fucking cool!

[DeeDubStyle619]

this song is like an asthma attack for me

[KEVINxGARNETT]

@DeeDubStyle619 Hahahahaha!!

[Zakura616]

5:27 = Doom/Stoner/Drone style blastbeats XD

[Merzbowxnoise]

@Packofsixpack

you suck

DIE!

[baronofbefoulment]

It's sweet background music, especially cranked through subs. I fell asleep to these guys, and had some fucked up dreams.

[4TT4CK]

GODS

[4TT4CK]

oh............my..............­.................

[mambo4dude]

the buzz is orgazmic!

[lilfili123]

first time ive heard drums in drone

[jazzaholick]

listen to more drone

[lilfili123]

yh man ive only really listened to earth and sunn o))

[Metaalhoofdje123]

Earth has drums

at least on their later albums

[Trgr66]

I accidentally clicked thumbs down on your good comment, i'm sorry. Drone (sunnO))) ), is healthy!

[69leeman]

the reason people say Sunn doesn't play music, is because they are too stupid to listen through the songs, not to the songs. Under the guitar, there is so much stuff going on, its unreal. Its always Steven and Greg playing too, and they always record everything one take between the two.

[EvanMetalReaper]

Sunn is boring, but it's meant to be boring. I don't have any problem with this, that's why I like Sunn.

[manlypedro75]

you'd have to be in some scene , sounds derived...

[mambo4dude]

who cares if it is technacliy music,

what matters is if you enjoy the expereince,

which i did.

SUNN 4EVER

[WPGUTROT88]

i love sunn o art work in the music and album covers..awesome

[5secLAUNCH]

killer song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Angloth]

Music is arranged sounds. simple as that.

[Upjkk123]

Oooooh,i quite like this!

[EzeaLor]

Oh , check my friends' cover of Sunn o)))

It took the night to believe

on my channel :X

[EzeaLor]

Akuma no kuma means

"the devil's seed "

(kuma = fruit / seed )(akuma= devil)

"no" defines ownership over an item or attribute.

However it can't be used for verbs so it definitely means seed and not "bear the_of"

[Angloth]

thanks for info :), are you japanese?

[19million]

still the illest. this song is absolute terror. yup.

[Fragile0Still]

i just learned a new word today from these comments ... Dildouche ... and my God will I use it. Either way, i apologize. This is shear POWER in music, such a strange low sound, I'm interested ... having heard both bands apart it is nice to see such a thorough collaboration ...

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

It's weird if you think about it....Matter is just vibration condensed....Music is sound waves which are vibrations...So everything,You, Me, Grass, Rocks, Trees are all music...... ALL MUSIC....I am really stoned right now by the way

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Well i was stoned but if you take The String Theory into perspective on the Quantum Physics level...then you get little strings that vibrate at different frequencies creating all kinds matter and everything else you know that is contained in the universe.... but it is just a "theory" but hell man... i'm just enjoying incredible music......

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Isn't that what Sunn is anyway?.....Yeah that's what i meant...as a Sunn fan..isn't that what the music is....noise interpreted as music and rhythm?...

[Hulew]

This music really is music, it's just a different type of it D; Drone Doom, as it is used to be called, usually has these annoying sounds and "nothing" in the whole song, but because of that, you have absolutely everything in the song. Although 90% of people do hate Drone Doom, I can say without fear that I'm among the other 10%. :D

As I said: just a different type of "music" ;)

[macleodponeage]

@Hulew To be honest, I think its more like 97%, something like that. In which case I'm part of the other 3%.

Yay!

[patjonhughes]

@macleodponeage I'd say its more like 99.99999%.

[TheBrowndawg]

@Hulew its funny, im a major blues hound and cant stand a lot of metal (to me its like the musical equivalent of wearin your dads clothes and pretending youre a man) but i like it when bands create an atmosphere in music without really saying much, you hear it often in the blues so i find this sort of stuff quite interesting. its a new means to an old end

[MrDeadbabys]

@Hulew im in that 10 to

[FrobblOo]

if youre seeking so bad for a rhythm,

there is one...... fucking listen to more than 10 seconds or so..

[Metaalhoofdje123]

dude you just answered the ultimate question of life for me!

[Lekarn]

@PhillipThunderGrunge i think you are confusing music with sound.

Sound don't have to be music.

But what music is to a pearson can be incredibly subjective.

[sonas76]

@PhillipThunderGrunge Maybe you should eat a pizza and go lie down...

[TheEndKing]

@PhillipThunderGrunge: I was about to accuse you of plagiarizing a guy who said the same thing on an 'Earth' song on youtube, but then realized you're the same guy.

So, carry on.

[Pandiemonium]

@PhillipThunderGrunge Vibration is a kinetic energy. Matter is made of energy, but in a different form. Think of energy as a soda, coke. Matter is the bottle that holds it until someone shakes it up enough to blow the cap off.

[austin33309]

@PhillipThunderGrunge I would love to smoke with you dude!

[70moparbaby]

@PhillipThunderGrunge another way of looking at it... is music is in fact matter.

[matrox999]

@PhillipThunderGrunge but you make sense philosophically. and its actually a beautiful and amazing thought, thank you random stoned person.

[GammaEmission]

@PhillipThunderGrunge Space is nothing.

I am from space. And I will kill you.

[richmadenigga504]

In english would Akuma No Kuma be read as Bear The Demon? I know what Akuma and Kuma mean but I'm not sure how it would be read in english like what order the words go in.

[bgnin]

AKUMA means devil,demon..so demon bear or demonic bear should be correct

[BitchinnShoes07]

Why does everybody in the comment section of this video love asterisks so much?

[Scentless]

Because you don't often use ampersands in a typical internet conversation.

[BitchinnShoes07]

Are you juding the fact that I ~like~ the ampersand?

[burster8boostar]

yay stret fighter XD akuma.

[Maxpow33r]

this is ambient music, so its not meant 2 turn u on, its MEANT to bore the shit out of you, if you got a problem of this kind of music existing than maybe think about how some people got a problem of you existing and you'll figure it out.

And fuck yeah metallica.

[Angloth]

metallica is pathetic.

[andrewalmarine]

my girlfriend's dildo is named Maxpow33r

[Maxpow33r]

I know ive been inside of her more than you ;)

[andrewalmarine]

touché douchebag, disregarding the fact that the only place you have been, Maxpow33r dildo, is in the ass of a hobo homo. 3 cheers for internet thuggery, amirite? suck a cack.

[Maxpow33r]

somebody's cracked from the fact that there are guys who's been inside your girl more than you.

[andrewalmarine]

i'm cracking up that this is still going. please ignore this viewers. maxpower dildo is turning to maxpower douche.

this song particularly by Sunn O))) has almost a symphonic build up to it in the begginning. the fuzziness makes it sound alive and organic almost.

[Maxpow33r]

I never said this music was bad so i dont know what u were on about. Maybe paying attention in your English lessons rather than fantasizing about me inside your girlfriend (dildo or douche, same thing) would help you understand my first post better.

[andrewalmarine]

i never said that you thought this music was bad. i'm just trying to positively contribute to the comments, without having to entertain a dildouche(same thing? you insist).

[19million]

fantastic damage.

[Thrasherdude]

why is there metallica in this thread?...

fucking youtube

[anonforuz]

Fuck SLipKnot

[Metaalhoofdje123]

lol that was random

[rmcalexander]

preston ftw

[jossot]

ok go and suck some cocks

[rhcpkicks1]

butthurt much?

[naterd00d]

nope, just know that some bands want to do more than just make money.

[rhcpkicks1]

Hmmm isn't this why there's indie bands? And I'm pretty sure Sunn O))) is doing pretty damn well right now. There can be major label bands that do the same? How do you know what a band wants?

[anonforuz]

you're a fucking idiot. dont act like you even give a shit. there are bands that go out to make music because it is an ART form, there are bands that only want to make money. And sometimes there are great bands that want to make art but need more money to spread their art across through the masses. Who gives a shit, if this bad can afford a major label, does make their work any less great or tarnish their efforts to spread it. fucken idiot.

[rhcpkicks1]

Thanks captain obvious. Are Metallica not sell outs? You're right, just cause a band is mainstream it doesn't make them bad. BUT there are VERY FEW good mainstream bands out there.

[anonforuz]

I dont listen to metallica, I wouldnt be able to make a sound judgment. I dont like their style. Sunn O))) however is not a sellout, or Mainstream, so whats your point.?

My theory about why there are few Good Mainstream bads is this. The Masses are generally stupid , so anything they flock to must be equally as simple to make it easy for their inept understandings to grasp it.

stupid music = Stupid Mainstream

and sometimes you get a smart crowd, like most of the classical audience.

[rhcpkicks1]

I don't like Sunn O))), they sound like my fridge. How pretenious does someone have to be to like them? I agree with you on mainstream bands though. But a person's music taste does not equal their knowledge. But 9/10 times stupid people will like those mainstream bands, and then you get the odd intellectual who will listen to Linkin Park.

[anonforuz]

I wouldnt consider my self pretentious, I honestly try to step away from following any course of actions. I would rather be on a level playing field , then believe Im any better. we are all flesh guided by chemicals reactions. But I like Sunn O))), havent downloaded any of their stuff, but I do enjoy it for its ambient tones. Yea they do sound like a fridge sometimes, but i guess it depends on the type of feel your into. haha I'd listen to a vacuum if someone found a way to make it interesting

[asfyxi]

good spoken hahah:D

[CosmicPrimitive]

sometimes I listen to my fridge

[anonforuz]

The sound of a vacuum in another room is my favorite.

[tripepitoch]

you are the coolest kid ive ever met

im fucking serious i love you

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

You ever hear the sound of a bug zapper outside of your window?.....mmmm

[Scentless]

Sunn O))) is awesome because they don't take their music seriously. It's the antithesis of pretension. They're making music because it sounds good, and they like making it, not because they're trying to aspire to be something they're not.

You're confusing some of their fans with the band.

[epointt]

And you just became pretentious. Good job.

[zensparkle2481]

Thank you, that needed to be said.

[Alienclot]

Simplicity does not make something stupid. We're listening to fucking drone. How much more minimal does it get?

[vicarious23]

Listening to a fish filter sounds like you're listening to drone, at the most part when you're pretty drunk, lol. But I do enjoy different bands that are out there. It makes you appreciate all sort of noise that no one has heard in mainstream, and also, it won't draw you into this 'pop' that you hear everyday on the radio. I appreciate this eccentricity in music and there's always a variety people put out there to enjoy or to just make you feel eerie for the hell of it, so alas.

[carnut]

true !!

[thefanster87]

I dig Sunn and RHCP. But old Peppers Like Uplift Mofo Party Plan and back.

[Rewwgh]

It's pretty cool. I ranked: 4, because this isn't perfect but it's cool..

[slystoner]

I loved so much this track :")

[oOkumaOo]

sounds like i am dying here

[brnleague99]

Sunn O))) strikes again. Good stuff.

[naterd00d]

anyone know the lyrics

[rackscrack]

Around 45bpm! This is like a record speed for sunn o)))!

[midgetPORN]

If you think Boris is weird, listen to Melt Banana.  They even covered a song from Discordance Axis--needless to say it came out sounding funny.

[surfininsf]

You wanna hear weird? Try anything with Mike Patton (except Faith No More and Peeping Tom)

[midgetPORN]

yeah, but Mike Patton isn't from the land of the rising sun.

I just got 'She' from Maldoror-- Mike Patton and Merzbow. Some of the sounds clips are quite nostalgic : )

[ILuvMongoose]

Mike Patton just takes the hard work of avant-garde musicians and twists it into filthy americanised trash.

For example, Fantomas is just a really really really fucking awful version of Naked City.

Only good thing Patton's been involved with is Mr. Bungle, and Trey Spruance was the genius behind them, not Patton. Patton lets them down if anything. Thank fuck there isn't much in the way of vocals on Disco Volante.

[suprabubic]

Boris. Funny guys from japan.There are some

weird bands in the land of the rising sun.

[xDuiveltj]

does the title mean 'demon bear'?

[hendrixsweet]

"We say that art is serving alien values"

Sunn o))) deliver´s

[Kilgorin10]

I just listen to this and grovel in awe... Awesome stuff.

[oOkumaOo]

i know what your up too.

you try to sound like mars

[TheSilentFool]

Now typically I don't care too much for Sunn O))), but this... This is just godly.

[negativesymbol]

so awesome, i love the drums in the end!

[temporaryguy]

This is fucking epic. It's like... well, Sunn O))) + Boris! No way I am not buying this album.

[Sorrythisusernameist]

Reverend Bizarreare quite a decent new doom band. Also, the new Asva album is a good slice of more 'uplifting' drone doom. Moss, on the other hand, produce some of the most brutal drone I've heard

[anorak52]

Some great DOOM bands: My Dying Bride, Atavist, Candlemass, Cathedral (more stoner than doom...but great band), Burning Witch, Electric Wizard, Morgion, Coffins (kinda like death metal at 1/4 speed!) Yob....hope his helps

[neoayden]

I'm not sure I like the drums, I think it would fit better without the drums in there.

[DeathGodAlchemist666]

Well, that was interesting. This is the first doom song I've heard. Not quite sure what to make of it. Anyone recommend any more doom to listen to?

[newtoomanga]

this is drone doom, and pherhaps not the best doom to start out with..I really like funeral doom, wich is doom often with black metal elements...check out nortt, if youre into black metal depresive stuff..Other good doom bands, IMO is earth (wich inspired sunn) and thergothon, wich is kinda youre typical doom band

[FrozenSilence]

I suggest Esoteric for Funeral Doom(although Nortt is good too).

[doomreaperambient]

also try the album "forest of equilibrium" from cathedral but only that album from them, crepuscularia is another god band, also gates of down the other stuff from cathedral is great but it's more stoner

[amplifierworship661]

Electric Wizard,Pentagram,Sleep,Church of Misery,Witchfinder General. Some of them are partly stoner-metal but its all good. this song is actually Drone.

[naterd00d]

sunn O))) solo stuff

or for real doom

mouth of the arhitect

or

sin of angels

[Inresurrection]

"or for real doom

mouth of the arhitect"

Silly rabbit, Mouth of the Architect isn't doom.

[siniminie]

is it an O or a zero?... xD

[rubengrappig]

it is an O , not a zero

[siniminie]

ohh ok

thanks! :)

[MusicalScrotum]

It's neither actually. It's just the symbol that's on the old brand of amplifiers that the band SunnO))) are named after.

[exedeath]

This could be used as a ultimate doom game ambient music. This song (and many others drone doom and funeral doom) would fit

[pronemortalform92]

This song is amazing, it has a very powerful and emotional atmosphere to it.

[stealyourcarbon]

cool tree.

[PiErRe6363]

o my god is just a long melodic noise lol

[surfininsf]

That's why it's awesome.

[nirofont]

love this song. two of the best drone bands ever together superb

[Nordinavia]

Drone + brass section = holy fucking shit this is amazing

[paintbokx]

ill.
