allmusic.com: "The self-described "power ambient" duo Sunn 0))) (also known as Sunn) formed in the mid-'90s and is headed up by guitarists Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson. These two are both experienced players in the doom metal underground, having been involved in numerous bands in addition to running the noted doom label Southern Lord. Anderson's credits include Goatsnake and Thorr's Hammer, while O'Malley has been involved with Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch, and Khanate, among other bands. Sunn specializes in extended, trance-like drones that are built up around low-end guitar and bass feedback. Their main inspirations are the early works of the Melvins and, even more so, Earth, who are alluded to in some of Sunn's song titles." More
southernlord.com: Japanese cult favourite sludge/doom rock trio Boris take their name from a song on grunge godfathers the Melvins' "Bullhead" album. They also have a lot in common with the Melvins musically, including a fondness for heavily down tuned guitar/bass tones and exceedingly slow tempos. But they also incorporate elements variously drawn from other sources, including psychedelic rock, punk, noise, minimalism, pure sludge-drone music à la Earth, and more.
Spex.de: Das ungekürzte E-Mail-Interview mit Antye Greie-Fuchs (AGF) und Vladislav Delay (VD), anlässlich ihres ersten gemeinsamen Albums »Explode«, über Ein- und Zweisamkeiten, Kommunikationen und Explosionen, Mode, Mut und Dualitäten." Mehr
From southernlord.com: Boris was ultimately inspired by the Melvins (in particular the Lysol album) and Earth. Besides pure heavy riff-droning bombast, Boris adds a unique experimentalist ambience to all they touch. This perfectly explains their involvement and collaboration with such cult-experimental artists such as MERZBOW and Keiji Haino. Every release from this group is different. Each is colossal in it's own right, but Absolutego is the group's finest achievement. Words do not describe this mammoth accomplishment. Earth moving drones swallow the listener whole, then regurgitate you as a mass of sloth like jelly. More Info
