Sunn O))) "Eternity's Pillars b/w Raise the Chalice & Reverential" [Gold Vinyl]

Eternity’s Pillars b/w Raise the Chalice & Reverential is
sunn O)))’s premier work on the maxi 12” medium for Sub Pop.
It consists of three brand new tracks created and performed by
the iconic duo of Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson and
co-produced by sunn O))) and Brad Wood. Brad Wood recorded
the material at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville and Sea Grass in
Los Angeles in 2025. The tracks on this maxi 12” are the first
official sunn O))) studio recordings to feature only the original core
duo on heavily saturated electric guitars and synthesis.
sunn O))) gave extreme focus and care to each step and aspect of
the recording, each tone and level of saturation, each gain stage
and speaker, each arrangement and harmonic. The Pacific
Northwest forest is our guide.

“Eternity’s Pillars” is named for the mid-1980s television program
created and hosted by jazz visionary and spiritual guru Alice
Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, focusing on her incessant belief in
music’s capacity to attain spiritual transcendence. “Raise the
Chalice” is named for a rallying cry often uttered by Northwest
legend Ron Guardipee throughout the mid-1990s. “Reverential”
equally pays respect and sends loud praise to those who came
before us with the heaviest burdens, expressions with music and
art being the materials of an antiphon.

The front cover of the maxi 12” depicts the duo in the woods
northeast of Seattle, through the lens of Charles Peterson.
