Sunn O)))'s fifth album, merges black metal influences with unorthodox recording techniques including locking vocalist Malefic in a casket, creating a dark, atmospheric work that pushes the sonic and psychological boundaries of black metal.
Black One, Sunn O)))'s fifth studio album, explores the darkest corners of black metal, featuring guest musicians like Malefic (Xasthur) and Wrest (Leviathan). Sunn O))) pushed sonic and psychological limits throughout the recording process, locking Malefic (who suffers from claustrophobia) inside a casket to capture his haunting vocals on "Báthory Erzsébet," a tribute to Bathory's Quorthon and the infamous countess.
Crafted with intentions to create the blackest atmospheres possible, Black One is filled to the brim with eerie vocal performances from Malefic and Wrest that seem to call from beyond. Sunn O)))'s use of unorthodox and experimental recording methods further deepen the petrifying tone of Black One.
2024 Black Friday Record Store Day reissue pressed on double colour vinyl includes a deluxe gatefold jack and a limited edition poster, released via Southern Lord.
