Sunn O)))
Just in case anyone's curious:
"Sunn O))) (pronounced "sun") is an American experimental metal band from Seattle, Washington, that formed in 1998. The band is known for an extremely heavy sound that blends diverse genres including drone, black metal, dark ambient, and noise rock, and for very loud live performances."
"The band's style is characterized by extremely slow tempos, heavily distorted guitars, avoidance of rhythm and melody, and alternative tunings. The guitars are notable for their low register, frequently utilising tunings as low as dropped A. Additionally, the band is known for using resonant feedback to create monolithic soundscapes and eerie atmospheres."
Here's a great pic of Sunn O))) performing live.
The DKs have some great tunes, and "Too Drunk to Fuck" is right up there. Although "California Über Alles" is timeless, and if your date is Khmer, why, what's better than "Holiday in Cambodia"? You might also like Nouvelle Vague's version of "TDTF"--it was in the movie Planet Terror (2007).
Sunn O))) requires massive volume and if you don't have speaker-stacks handy, you could go with some nice crunchy Rammstein. They sing in German and some of their lyrics are downright filthy, although you gotta understand German to get the full effect...
