""'Raise the Chalice' is named for a rallying cry often uttered by Northwest legend Ron Guardipee throughout the mid-1990s. 'Reverential' equally pays respect and sends loud praise to those who came before us with the heaviest burdens, expressions with music and art being the materials of an antiphon." Now a duo of founding members Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson, Sunn O))) shared their last new studio LPs, and Pyroclasts, in 2019."
