Pentemple is basically Sunn )))) and Striborg and here's a CD by 'em called O))) Presents. On O'Malley's Southern Lord label this is a limited edition of 3000 copies and apparently it won't get repressed. And you trust the word of Southern lord as they don't like to rip off their punters by releasing things on CD and then vinyl 6 months later. No they wouldn't do that.... This is well dark and doomy....occasionally a bit black metal but I quite like the atmospherics. It reminds me of when I saw them live.... the thundering noise in the background which sounds like hell looming perilously close is quite appealing. Why, I do not know but I do quite like a bit of this. A bit being the operative word here as I couldn't cope with loads of the stuff but in small amounts it's always good for a laugh.

0))) Presents is strictly limited to 3,000 machine numbered copies. It will NOT last long.
In May of 2007 thee mighty SUNN 0))) embarked on a Pacific Rim tour that included performances in Australia and Japan. The lineup for this tour included the core Sunn 0))) duo: Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley plus T.O.S. (Moog), Oren Ambarchi (analog effects and supplemental guitar) and vokillist Attila Csihar.
Upon arrival in Sydney, Australia, Sunn 0))) invited one of their favourite black metal artists: Striborg over from
Tasmania to collaborate with them during their show. This unholy meeting went over very well and the inaugural ritual was a warm up gig at the Toft In Town club one evening before the larger gig at the Hi-Fi Bar (w/brethren: Boris).
The results of this collaboration was a completely improvisational, vicious audio and visual assault on the sold out, standing room only audience. This was among the first time that Sunn 0))) had worked with live drums and the
outcome was completely unprecedented. The whole event was recorded live to 24-track/multi-track. Afterwards Oren Ambarchi edited, sequenced and overhauled the EQ to make it as brutal as possible.

Tracklisting: 01. Pazuzu 1 02. Pazuzu 2
