Sunn O))) have announced Kannon, a new studio album due December 4 through Southern Lord. It was produced by Randall Dunn, who also did 2006′s Altar and 2009′s Monoliths and Demolitions, and features contributions from Attila Csihar (Void), Oren Ambarchi, Rex Ritter, and Steve Moore.

The LP’s title is drawn from Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The album includes liner notes written by critical theorist Aliza Shvarts, which explore the band’s relationship to Kannon‘s namesake. 

Additionally, a limited edition clear vinyl of Kannon will be released on Record Store Day’s Black Friday, which takes place November 27. 

Sunn O))) have also curated a stage at Le Guess Who? Festival, which takes place November 19-22 in Utrecht, Netherlands. Chelsea Wolfe, Marissa Nadler, Julia Holter, Magma, and Circuit des Yeux are some of the artists who will play, as will Sunn themselves.
