We present a new EarthQuaker Session featuring Wata and Takeshi of Boris, highlighting the Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3, performing “Vomitself” from their 1998 album Amplifier Worship.
This heavy performance supports a special Record Store Day release of Boris and Sunn O)))’s 2006 joint album, Altar. Out of print for over 15 years, Altar will finally return on double LP. In addition to major players Sunn O))) and Boris, Altar boasts an extensive roster of guest musicians/collaborators such as Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Joe Preston (Earth, Thrones, Melvins, High on Fire), Phil Wandscher and Jesse Sykes (Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) as well as long time Sunn O))) collaborators TOS Niewenhuizen and Rex Ritter.
Greg Anderson of Sunn O))) says, “We had a lot of fun making Altar— we transcended all barriers and boundaries to create our own sonic language that still strongly resonates. It was incredibly adventurous for us at that point in time. We played in the moment without a preconceived direction, then arrived at a beautifully heavy place together. Altar is a monumental documentation of some early experiments with collaboration. We learned a lot from working with Boris and engineer/producer Randall Dunn as well as Bill Herzog, Jesse Sykes and Joe Preston. We carried those ideas and spirit into recordings that followed Altar.”
