What's that low, insistent, mildly ominous but oh-so-compelling clatter coming from the corner of the club? Nah, it ain't old Rusty the dusty refridgerator: it's Sunn O))), who have recently announced an epic three-date West Coast tour for the first bit of November.

In addition to the fair piece of drone Sunn O))) brings to any situation, Jesu's Justin Broadrick will provide both guitar and "cold, dark cloud formations" on these November dates, while Mayhem belter Attila Csihar is on the "Vokills." Get it? These shows will apparently follow the close of recording sessions for a new full-length Sunn O))) banger, slated for release next year.

And, lest you'd forgotten, Sunn O))) have that Oracle 12"/CD for you to hunt down, and yet another show scheduled for 2007: a meet-up with Boris to perform last year's Altar LP from front to back.
