Our Take

Prepare to have your mind blown and your face melted off because SUMAC's latest album "May You Be Held" is an absolute beast of a record. This powerhouse trio, consisting of Aaron Turner, Brian Cook, and Nick Yacyshyn, have created a sonic experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional music.

From the opening track, "A Prayer for Your Path", the listener is taken on a turbulent journey through a dark and twisted sonic landscape. The sheer technical proficiency displayed by each member of the band is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Turner's vocals are haunting and otherworldly, while Cook's bass lines pulse with a primal energy that is impossible to ignore. Yacyshyn's drumming is nothing short of mind-blowing, as he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex time signatures with the precision of a surgeon.

Tracks like "May You Be Held" and "Oscuro" showcase SUMAC's ability to create tension and release with a masterful touch. The cacophony of noise and melody that emanates from this album is both beautiful and terrifying, like a thunderstorm on a summer day.

In conclusion, "May You Be Held" is a masterpiece of modern metal music. SUMAC have once again proven themselves to be at the forefront of the genre, pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories with reckless abandon. Strap yourselves in, dear readers, because this is one hell of a ride.

About the artist

SUMAC

SUMAC are a trio that truly defy categorisation. Helmed by frontman Aaron Turner, known for his work in bands like Isis and Old Man Gloom, the band seamlessly blend elements of post-metal, sludge, and avant-garde noise to create a sonic assault on the senses. Formed in 2014, SUMAC wasted no time in making a name for themselves in the underground music scene. With their critically acclaimed debut album "The Deal" garnering comparisons to the likes of Neurosis and Swans, the band quickly solidified their reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting acts in heavy music. Their follow-up album, "What One Becomes," pushed the boundaries even further, with the band exploring new sonic territories and pushing themselves to their creative limits. The album was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Pitchfork hailing it as a "blistering masterpiece" and a "sonic journey unlike anything else in the metal landscape." SUMAC's live shows are nothing short of intense, with their blistering riffs and intricate arrangements leaving audiences in awe. Turner's commanding stage presence and the band's raw energy make for an unforgettable experience that has to be seen to be believed. With each release, SUMAC continue to push the boundaries of what heavy music can be, cementing their status as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the scene today. Keep an eye out for these guys - they're definitely ones to watch.
