Electronics and rhythm machine instead of the good old electric guitar? Sure, why not? The instrument he uses to express himself matters little. The same sense of urgency, the same overwhelming menace will get across. Primal scream? No, crucial noise. 2- SUNN 0))) (USA) CANADIAN PREMIERE With Greg Anderson, Stephen O'Mailley + invited musicians A cartoonish presentations, wild collaborations with free improvisers and noisicians, music that is darker than dark; SUNN 0))) are reinventing doom metal, resculpting it through sound experiments that forces the genre to the edge of evil drone.
