The band was founded in 1991 by Ralf Aussem and Jörg Schröder. Sun was considered for long time on critics as "German answer" of Pearl Jam or Tool. Furthermore, the band supported Pearl Jam on their Ten Release Tour in 1992 and also Monster Magnet in the year 1995.

Two years after founding their band they got their Majordeal on the label Gun Records. The band became good known by their albums Murdernature, XXXX and Nitro as also by co-projects for sequels of the serial rock sampler Crossing All Over. Further, the band used instruments atypical of rock, like English flutes.

In the year 2001 the band split up after different exchanges of bandmembers and severe illness of their singer. Their founder and musicwriter Ralf Aussem plays currently in the Scottish/German band Dead Guitars

gollark: > Here's a fun guess (not going to test it): the bid's value is the smallest prime factor of the SHA of the bid.Wouldn't that be rather slow to compute?
gollark: Solution: download all videos you want to watch from YouTube, while you still can.
gollark: Maybe it does work by word somehow.
gollark: > I don't have patience to mess with this much, but I was suspecting that the autogenerated "I consider it interesting" quotes on the root page above the auction give random pairs of words that are equal in His eyes.That is... interesting.
