\\\Maytag is a project formed by the collaborative efforts of the posters of GAMEFAQs “Music: Metal” board, number 235. The initial idea behind the project was to mock Sunn O))). Sunn O))) is said by some to sound like a broken refrigerator. “235” took this idea to a new extreme by literally recording the sound of their own personal refrigerators (and other household appliances) and adding effects to them to make them sound “BWO)))M-Y” akin to Sunn O))).

“Why don’t we all record our refrigerators at night and then combine the recordings into the ultimate BWO)))M-fest? It would be very epic for a few minutes, then boring for the rest. How about it?”—kboose

With those words, the beast was born. First, they settled upon a name. This name had to be something so legendary that all of mankind would cower in fear as it is spoken…

“For a refrigerator bwoomfest, how about taking a similar approach that Sunn O))) took… something like IIIMaytag.

Wait, more like

    I love Sunn O))) , but I think what I like about this, despite the parody element, is the fact that this is creatively done. Not to mention I personally find it an honor to be made fun of for my music, I don't see how this doesn't homage Sunn O))) by taking the time to parody them...
