Possibly the first (and definitely the best) drone metal/ doom band ever to exist.
The band utilizes classic black metal and ambient strategies like distorted guitars and synthesization through computers to create an atmosphere of terror.
Often misrepresented as "Sunno" "Sunn o" or Sunn0" by those too ignorant to actually check up on bands before downloading their material.
Their album "Altar" features split work with another drone band, Boris, to create even deeper chaos.
Drone metal songs typically top ten minutes, and some albums consist of only one very long song.
