im actually quiote convinced that o'malley is something like a metal genius. he has a very unique take on heavy music. i love sunn o))) a lot, favorites being flight of the behemoth, altar (which is both boris and sunn 0))) at the top of thier game) and black. only thing i hate by them is white 2, which is kinda pointless sounding, white 1 with the spoken word by julian cope is awesome though, "greg anderson purveyor of sonic doom". i like khanate and burning witch better though i think, much more rhythmic and the vocals are great.
i also really love the last KTL album. im not even into pita really but his shit with o'malley is great, wonderful mix of really intelligent experimental noise and more brutish metal.
ive also heard people refer to stephen o'malley as an ironic metal dude. fuck that, the guy is a metalhead to the core, he even ran that amazing black metal zine back in the day. he just is influenced by stuff like sun ra, la monte young, and stockhausen as he is earth, mayhem, etc..
the SOMA stuff is cool too.
