The discography of [[Sunn O)))]], an [[United States|American]] [[drone metal]] band, consists of ten studio albums, three collaborative albums, six EPs, four demos, one remix album, eight official live albums (plus one hundred and fifteen collected bootleg live recordings), one box set compilation, two stand-alone singles and three compilation contributions.

Founded by [[Greg Anderson (guitarist)|Greg Anderson]] and [[Stephen O'Malley]], Sunn O))) is an experimental drone metal band that formed in [[Seattle]], [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], in 1998 originally under the name "Mars".<ref name="allmusic-sunnbio"/> The band signed with [[Hydra Head Records]], founded by [[Isis (band)|Isis]] frontman [[Aaron Turner]], and released both ''[[The Grimmrobe Demos]]'' and its debut album ''[[ØØ Void]]''. At the same time, Anderson founded his own label [[Southern Lord Records]], which would become the band's primary outlet for most of their releases throughout their entire career. The band's first release through the label was ''[[Flight of the Behemoth]]'' (2002), which notably included two collaborations with Japanese noise artist [[Merzbow]]. They describe the sound and their approach to their first three major releases as worshiping the drone metal band [[Earth (American band)|Earth]] and sludge metal band [[Melvins]],<ref name="stranger-2005interview"/><ref name="allmusic-sunnbio"/> both from Sunn O)))'s home state of Washington. Sunn O)))'s next two albums, ''[[White1]]'' (2003) and ''[[White2]]'' (2004), were written and recorded at the same time and was said of the band to be an important turning point in the band's sound that allowed them to create the albums that would follow. They released the "claustrophobic" black metal album ''[[Black One (album)|Black One]]'' (2005) and a collaboration with Japanese noise rock band [[Boris (band)|Boris]] titled ''[[Altar (Sunn O))) and Boris album)|Altar]]'' (2006). Their interest in pushing the boundaries of metal music culminated in the orchestral ''[[Monoliths & Dimensions]]'' (2009), a critically acclaimed<ref name="mc-monoliths"/> album that broke through the underground scene, landing on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard's]]'' [[Top Heatseekers]] chart.<ref name="billboard-heat"/>

While Anderson founded the Southern Lord label, in 2011 O'Malley founded his own label named Ideologic Organ, an imprint of the Viennese electronic/experimental label [[Editions Mego]].<ref name="exclaim-idelogicorgan"/> Through Ideologic Organ, Sunn O))) began releasing odds-and-ends albums, including the demos ''[[Rehearsal Demo Nov 11 2011]]'' and ''Downtown LA Rehearsal / Rifftape March 1998'', and the single "青木ヶ原 // 樹海". In 2014, the band released two collaborative albums: ''[[Terrestrials (album)|Terrestrials]]'' with Norwegian experimental group [[Ulver]] and ''[[Soused (album)|Soused]]'' with avant-garde musician [[Scott Walker (singer)|Scott Walker]], the latter of which became Sunn O)))'s most commercially successful album, landing at #88 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], and was the final studio album by Walker before his death in 2019. The band's next album ''[[Kannon (album)|Kannon]]'' was born out of the ''Monoliths & Dimensions'' sessions and centers its theme around the female Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. In 2019, the band released ''[[Life Metal (album)|Life Metal]]'', featuring a comparatively more positive tone and mood, and ''[[Pyroclasts (album)|Pyroclasts]]'', a meditative experimental album produced by [[Steve Albini]] ([[Shellac (band)|Shellac]], [[Big Black]]).<ref name="allmusic-sunnbio"/>

Sunn O)))'s discography features several limited-edition and tour-exclusive albums. The band has said these albums are a "win-win" solution that provide a reward to diehard fans and also help to fund expensive world tours.<ref name="pitchfork-2009interview"/> Most of the band's albums have been released in Japan through the local Daymare Recordings.<ref name="japantimes-daymare"/> In April 2013, Sunn O))) uploaded its entire discography to the music streaming platform [[Bandcamp]].<ref name="quietus-bandcamp"/> In June 2015, Sunn O))) launched a Live Archive of fan-submitted "unmixed, unmastered raw footage" of live performances through both their official website and Bandcamp. The archive launched with 67 recordings dating back to 2002.<ref name="exclaim-livearchives"/>

While the first two tracks resemble the band's classic doom metal formula, William York of [[AllMusic]] noted that on the other tracks, Sunn O))) "for the first time also [branches] out to create something new, something that goes beyond any sort of mere [[Earth (American band)|Earth]] worship."<ref name="allmusic-fotb"/> The Japanese and Bandcamp editions of the album include two additional live collaborations with Merzbow as bonus tracks. |- ! scope="row"| ''[[White1]]'' | April 22, 2003 | Southern Lord | Rex Ritter,<br>Sunn O))) | rowspan="2"| Before being known as ''White1'' and ''White2'', Sunn O))) wasn't sure how many albums their material would turn out to be and referred to these recordings simply as "The White Sessions".<ref name="vice-terrestrials"/> Written and recorded simultaneously but released a year apart, ''White1'' and ''White2'' sees Sunn O))) making a major stylistic departure from their earlier work.

Sunn O))) picked the title because it reflected the album's more lively and beautiful music, and also represents the band members' more positive and upbeat outlook on life at the time of writing. ''Life Metal'' was recorded and edited entirely on analog tape with [[Steve Albini]], who was said to have captured the band's live sound without use of [[Pro Tools]]. Instead of frequent guest-vocals collaborator Attila Csihar, the album features vocals from multi-instrumentalist [[Hildur Guðnadóttir]] to match ''Life Metal'''s softer tone.<ref name="newnoise-lifemetal"/><ref name="stereogum-lifemetal"/><ref name="decibel-lifemetal"/> |- ! scope="row"| ''[[Pyroclasts (album)|Pyroclasts]]'' | October 25, 2019 | Southern Lord | Sunn O))) | Written and recorded by Steve Albini at the same time as ''Life Metal'', ''Pyroclasts'' is an experimental and improvisational album.
