Product Description
Contents: This is the latest studio album from SUMAC, led by Aaron Turner (G/Vo: ISIS/OLD MAN GLOOM, etc.), a pinnacle of the post-metal/alternative scene. The songs and arrangements, which deconstruct heavy rock to a molecular level and then reconstruct it?a style evident in their recent works 'Love In Shadow' (2018) and 'May You Be Held' (2020)?shine through in this album as well. The tension and explosiveness reminiscent of classic progressive rock have been elevated to a level befitting their status as the pinnacle of cutting-edge heavy rock/post-metal. The trio lineup, featuring two of the most formidable heavy rock musicians?Brian Cook (B: RUSSIAN CIRCLES/BOTCH) and Nick Yacyshyn (Ds: BAPTISTS)?remains intact, and the ensemble is more impenetrable than ever before. This album was recorded by Scott Evans. Known primarily in the heavy rock field for his deep and meticulous work as a recording engineer, he is also a musician himself, leading the Neurosis-affiliated band Kowloon Walled City. The relationship he built while serving as SUMAC's live sound engineer bore fruit in the recording, successfully capturing SUMAC's highly expressive performance. His skills shine through in the 76-minute album of 4 tracks. Released first in Japan (intl: 6/21), with bonus tracks included only on the Japanese edition. Tracklist: 1. World of Light 2. Yellow Dawn 3. New Rites 4. The Stone's Turn 5.
