, along with frequent collaborator Tos Nieuwenhuizen, crafted ''Life Metal'' in two practice sessions in Los Angeles, California.
The material written during those sessions featured a comparatively more upbeat tone with "brightness and a symphonic quality" compared to the rest of Sunn O)))'s discography that stems in part from Anderson and O'Malley being content with their personal and creative lives.
Anderson challenged himself to write heavy music that wasn't "so dark", and further elaborated on the new tone and vibe of the album:
" 'Life Metal'' issort of a personal reflection of my life as well. Having children and being a father has really changed me in a lot of ways—and for the better in some ways—but I have a different outlook on things now. Trying to be selfless in my life is important, and that's changed me and changed my mood and how I'm thinking about music and how I'm writing at the moment."

in Chicago. The year 2018 marked the 20th anniversary of the band and they wanted to honor that milestone with a special producer in Albini, who had previously toured alongside Sunn O))) with his band Shellac. Anderson said of the collaboration: "Stephen and I had this sort of bucket list: 'These are some things that would be great to try and do this year.' At the top of the list was to record with Albini. I knew him a little bit, so it wasn't a cold call, but I was still very nervous about whether he'd be available or willing to do it."
According to the album's press release announcement, Albini answered their call and said: "Sure, this will be fun. I have no idea what is going to happen." Contrasting the two-year recording period for Sunn O)))'s 2009 album ''

Sunn O))) adopted the joke as the title for their album ''Life Metal'' because they felt it accurately represented "the mindset and the mood" of everyone involved in the record and the "antithesis"
of what was expected of the band. Greg Anderson elaborated: "Me and Stephen and Tos
ieuwenhuizen the keyboard player,
erejust at a point in our life where things were a different sort of tone and mood. And I think that's reflected in the playing, which is really the important part. I think that the title reflects the atmosphere of the music."
This shift in tone was also represented through the album's artwork. While Sunn O)))'s previous albums feature "a lot of dark
onesand a lot of blacks and whites," the artwork and packaging for ''Life Metal'' was intentionally more colorful.

''Life Metal'' was announced in February 2019 with the release of a five-minute trailer featuring a video panning across the album's artwork and part of song playing in the background.
