It does tend to get abstract but I think it's what Aaron wanted to do from a long time ago.

Album Rating: 3.0

The funny thing is I love both jazz and Neil Young (whose free roaming caveman jams and bitey guitar tone I hear a lot of in Sumac); I just find too much amorphousness robs the tune of the qualities I enjoy in heavy music.

dammit aaron where them breathy vox and zits at

Alas, this isn’t the Underoath thread Johnny. I just want Aaron to bring back the lockstep syncopated 5/4 grooves that made up so much of Oceanic!

Witnessed this whole album performed live at RB two days ago and I still can't get it out of my head. It was immaculate, by far the best thing this edition. Highly recommending you go see it live, if you get the chance.

I can imagine they are a force to be reckoned with in a live setting.

These dudes have done a split with someone or something this year

That's nuts. I missed seeing Sumac in the flesh because my car broke down, sucked. Still hope I get to see Nick Yacyshyn right in front of me one day, dude is something else.

looks like they're doing a split with moor mother which is wtf huh?



I'm down.

Wasn't too fond of the one single they released for it. Will of course reserve judgment until I hear the full thing.

WITHOUT JUDGEMENT WHAT WOULD WE DO?

Album Rating: 4.0

I have absolutely no idea what to expect tomorrow and that is exciting (and scary, idk?)

This remains (easily) in my top 3 releases from last year, but admittedly I have no clue what a Moor Mother is exactly, and the combination sounds vaguely strange on first glance

WE WOULD BE FORCED TO LOOK

Excited for the Moor Mother collab. Should be a pretty great combo given the ferocity of the spoke word and the instruments grinding away underneath. I love Sumacs first album, it is easily one of the most rhythmically interesting releases I have ever heard but this sprawled out disgusting sewer soup they put out lately has been wonderful

collab album with Moor Mother is awesome

First impression of the new one: It's good. It's fine. Commonly people will say "I like the idea of it more than the execution" but here I'm the exact opposite: I think it's executed exactly as intended, I think it's executed supremely. I'm just not sure I like the idea of ominous poetic passages spoken over SUMAC's brand of cacophonous drone-y/doom-y metal.

Tracks, though, since I've generally been lukewarm on most of the Moor Mother projects that I've heard.

Maybe it will grow on me. Maybe it won't.

Man Scene 2: The Run is just wild. Great track
