"Life Metal" will be released via Southern Lord for the first time on CD and vinyl (US) & vinyl (UK/EU) on 13th April via USA/UK/EU indie retail. The 26th April marks the official release date of the CD, digital and all other vinyl. Supporting both shows will be the singular Berlin guitarist Caspar Brötzmann. A series of his eternally grinding guitar works is currently being reissued by Southern Lord.

According to a press release, Sunn O))) co-founders Stephen O'Malley & Greg Anderson set started working on the album in the very beginning of 2018. Musicians met twice last spring to write material in the very building where the band was formed: Downtown Rehearsal in Los Angeles. In early summer, a pre-production album was held at Dave Grohl’s 606 studios in Northridge, California.

The LP version is an AAA album recorded and recorded on tape solely using analog equipment. The album was mastered and lacquers cut from tape in October by Sunn O))) ally Matt Colton at Alchemy in London.
