sunnulverLAReh468x60The Record Exchange was one of a few select indie record stores in the country to get our hands on a numbered Sunn O))) LP titled LA REH 012, and we’re giving two away! The new rsunn3elease captures a rehearsal demo is touted as “the latest grimm incarnate from the disgusting duo.”  The release was recorded in 2012 in Los Angeles, mixed in Paris this year and is apparently full of “hellish riff-mangling.”

To be entered into the drawing, we are requiring a CD or vinyl purchase of Sunn O)))’s new collaborative album with Ulver Terrestrials. Why? Because we want the vinyl to go to Sunn O))) fans and not up on eBay. Deadline to purchase the album and get entered to win is Sunday, Feb. 9. We will draw the winner at random on Monday, Feb. 10.
