SUMAC

And now for some heavy, thudding, crunchy new music from from sludgy post-metal supergroup SUMAC.  The trio features members from such groups as Isis, Old Man Gloom, Mamiffer, Baptists, Russian Circles, and These Arms Are Snakes, and they bring all the noise that pedigree would suggest they do.  Check out "Yellow Dawn" below and pre-order the upcoming "The Healer" LP here from Thrill Jockey.

Keiji Haino & SUMAC

Japanese artist Keiji Haino and metal supergroup SUMAC are back with another collaborative effort, the immense and immensely titled "Even for just the briefest moment / Keep charging this 'Expiation' / Plug in to making it slightly better" LP.  Experimental metal for everyone!  Listen to "Now i've gone and done it i've spilled holy water (just water) over that thing called healing music.................... / There was a faint 'Tsk' noise" below and get the album here from Trost Records.

SUMAC

I'm coming across all kinds of great new music today, as now it looks like we've got a new record from post-metal supergroup SUMAC in the pipes for September.  Listen to the crunchy and hectic "Attis' Blade" below and pre-order the "Love in Shadow" LP here from Thrill Jockey.

Keiji Haino and SUMAC

Metal supergroup trio SUMAC, featuring members of Isis, Baptists, and Russian Circles make pummeling, crushing, crunching music, an onslaught of bombast and riffage to blast through your senses.  And now they've added some Japanese experimental noise to the mix.  The result is breathtaking.  Japanese multi-instrumentalist artist Keiji Haino joins the band on new album "American Dollar Bill - Keep Facing Sideways, You're Too Hideous to Look at Face On," adding a whole new dimension to SUMAC's work.  I don't know what it is, but when American metal bands team up with Japanese experimental musicians, the result is usually magic.  Crazy, noisy magic.  Get the record here via Thrill Jockey, and listen to the title track below.

Sumac

Dig on the crunchy, death-doom riffs and annihilation that is metal trio super-group Sumac.  Featuring members of Old Man Gloom, Russian Circles, and Baptists, the band uses all of their distinct talents and influences to create a kind of hybrid metal sound, full of prog leanings, ambient explorations, and full on cacophonous assault.  Listen to "Rigid Man" below and get the "What One Becomes" LP in June on Thrill Jockey.
