Had the time to get through this playlist today on my morning walk. I still have no idea of the attraction of Sunn O))) (sorry Sonny) and I listened to all 14:59 of that track. It is just not my cup of tea. Also had to skip Iron Man (those vocals) and The Gathering (a bit too rocky and again the vocals grated). I have come to the conclusion that Wino's voice actually grates on me nowadays and so I had to skip The Obsessed track also.
Thankfully there was still lots to keep me happy on the list. Standouts were Dolorian, Crowbar, Goatsnake, Godthrymm, High on Fire and Saturnalia Temple. Good work Sonny.

Thanks Vinny. Drone metal is a hard sell, with even it's most ardent followers recognising that it isn't for everyone and Sunn O))) are no exception, so no apologies required. I'm not a fan of Iron Man myself, but I feel it is incumbent upon me to showcase all aspects of the Fallen, despite my own preferences. I wasn't sold on Goatsnake either, to be honest. I have always been a fan of Wino's "cigarettes and whiskey" voice, so I have enjoyed the preview tracks from the new Saint Vitus album.
