Oracle is an EP by American drone metal band Sunn O))). The track "Orakalum" was recorded as part of a collaboration between the band and sculptor/installation artist Banks Violette for an exhibit at London's Maureen Paley gallery. The exhibit took place in two rooms: one with a black stage where the band recorded "Orakulum" with Attila Csihar locked inside a white coffin, and one with a white replica of the band's stage set up (including amps and guitars) cast out of salt and resin with a destroyed black coffin. The audience was locked outside for the performance and let inside after the band left "to generate a feeling of absence, loss and a phantom of what was."{{cite web| last = Franklin| first = Dan| title = Movin' On: Scott Walker & Sunn O)))'s Soused Reviewed | work = The Quietus| date = March 25, 2019| url = https://thequietus.com/articles/16326-scott-walker-sunn-o-soused-review| accessdate = May 3, 2019}}{{cite web| last = Stosuy| first = Brandon| title = Sunn O))): Oracle EP Album Review| work = Pitchfork| date = August 16, 2007| url = https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/10532-oracle-ep/| accessdate = May 3, 2019}}{{cite web| title = Banks Violette Exhibit (Images & Press Release)| work = Maureen Paley| url = https://www.maureenpaley.com/exhibitions/banks-violette-1?image=1| accessdate = May 3, 2019}}
