From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White1 is the fourth album by Sunn O))). It was the most significant departure from their original style to date. Each track was experimental in its own way, with Julian Cope quoting bizarre self-written poetry for half of "My Wall", Norwegian lyrics sung by Runhild Gammelsæter of Thorr's Hammer as an intro to a drum machine and stoner metal bass riff in "The Gates of Ballard", and the drone track "A Shaving of the Horn that Speared You."
The lyrics to "The Gates of Ballard" come from "Håvard Hedde", a Norwegian folk song.
In Q Magazine's August issue (named the loud issue), they named White1 as the 18th heaviest album of all time, just above AC/DC's Back in Black and below Aphex Twin's album ...I Care Because You Do.
