ØØ Void (pronounced in interviews as Double-O Void) is the debut studio album by Sunn O))). The album was recorded to 24 track 2" tape at Grandmaster studios in Hollywood,[2] a large step forward in production values from the band's demo The Grimmrobe Demos.
The third track, "Rabbits' Revenge", is an interpretation of an obscure Melvins song that was only played live during their early years. A sample of a live performance of the original song can be heard past the five minute mark.
The album was originally released in 2000, by Hydra Head in the USA, and by Rise Above in Europe and the United Kingdom. In 2008, ØØ Void was reissued, and released in Japan only, through Japanese record label Daymare Recordings. The reissue was a two-disc set, with the first disc containing all of the original tracks from ØØ Void and the second disc containing a collaboration between Sunn O))) and experimental/industrial group Nurse with Wound. The album was re-released in the original single-disc format in 2011 by Southern Lord Recordings,[2] with new album artwork by Stephen Kasner.[3]
