THEY rank amongst the most audacious of experimental of metal bands, and now Sunn 0))) have just announced a summer Belfast show on Monday 17th July in Limelight1.
Not for the faint-hearted Sunn 0))) mash together metal, drone, sludge, jazz with an at times minimalist approach, and for 16 years have been challenging pre-conceptions about genre definitions.
Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson have relentlessly pursued dark vibrating terror since they first released 'The Grimmrobe Demos' at the arse end of the 1990s.
But, when they unleashed ØØ Void a year later people began to sit up and take notice. Since then they have baffled many, bemused a multitude, but always challenged the way we take on board our musical tastes.
With a discography that is more than substantial they are also known for adding 'performance art' to their repertoire, including one show that saw vocalist Attila Csihar claw his way out of a black coffin..
No coffins are as yet planned for the Limelight show, but we're not taking anything for granted as Sunn 0)) are concerned.
Tickets for the 17th July Limelight show are on sale now from the usual outlets, priced £22.50 plus Booking Fee.

Big Al to preach ...
AL Jourgensen is bringing his own particular brand of industrial preaching to Belfast with the first ever Northern Ireland trip for Ministry.
The Godfathers of indistrial metal will be appearing at the Mandella Hall on 17th July.

Tickets are £29.50 and available from all the usual outlets and Ticketmaster.
The Belfast date comes as Jourgensen prepares to release the latest oeuvre from Ministry, the apocalytic Relapse, to be released later this month.
It's an album of brutal industrial sounds, coming 30 years after the birth of Ministry. The blurb claims that "Relapse incorporates elements of thrash, crossover metal, groove metal, angular prog rock, psychedelia and even classic rock".
Coming five chaotic years and one near-death experience after the release of the band’s The Last Sucker it's a tour and an album that could not only re-define Ministry's appeal, but also challenge the industrial metal genre and help it break out of the clichés and the stereotypes.
Can Ministry can blow Belfast's minds away with this reinvigorated sound and Jourgensen's undoubted talent? Well it would be worth finding out!
