Pitchfork: Boris, Sunn 0))) Launch Attack on America

Boris, Sunn 0))) Launch Attack on America

Prepare for some intestine-tickling low-end rumblings: drone juggernauts Boris and sub-woofer rattlers Sunn 0))) are preparing to melt the ears and bowels of North America. Sunn 0))) trudges through four dates, starting tonight in Boston, before joining up with the Japanese doom trio next week. After their last show together, Boris peels off for four more East Coast dates with Troubleman Unlimited face-melters Growing and Thrones (aka Joe Preston of Earth, the Melvins, High on Fire, etc) before heading back to Japan where they'll shake up Shinjuku.

Oren Ambarchi will perform as a member of Sunn 0))) on all of the dates, and will open a few shows with a solo set.

Before hooking up with Boris, though, Growing and Thrones take their fuzz-toned circus of noise on the road for a series of dates of their own. Consider these shows ample opportunity to zone out in a dim club and experience the sensation of having your teeth shaken out of your gums courtesy of sub-harmonic riffage.
