Default Sunn 0))) vs. Boris

That Texas guy's vs. threads can be arbitrary but they're fun and get people talking so here's the two top drone dogs. And no they don't have to be compared simply on the basis of their drone albums but you can if you want. If you want to declare Boris superior for releasing a pop album then be my guest.

Both great and very close but Boris

Boris has a little more mystique

and Amplifier Worship and Pink have made it deeper into my heavy rotation listening than any Sunn0))) records (and who knows why)

I mean drone metal is neat and I guess Sunn 0))) has explored that sound more and in greater depth than Boris but I don't actually need an entire discography of drone metal so Boris' mastery of way more than drone gives them an easy win.

I prefer their darker approach.

First album to get into since it's easier on the ears and diverse so you still get a feel for their sound and difficulty to pigeonhole.




As far as Boris here's one of the definitive drone metal texts.




Here's post-rock that doesn't bore me.




Here's that time they made a J-rock album.




Listen to as much of those as you want cause I can't be bothered to give recs by song given how off the wall Boris is. They don't even have a definitive sound.
