Suma

Band, SE
Rock

Swedish doom / sludge metal band from Malmö formed in 2001. Hailing from Malmö, Sweden and formed in 2001 : SUMA has been spreading the plague of their sonic weight, noise-ridden hallucinatory doom metal on the world for the past decade. Through these years they've lured hordes of humans into the lair with their devastatingly heavy, one way trip into the vortex live performances and crushing delivery on their recorded matters. The past year has seen some changes to the entity that is SUMA. After more than a year's hiatus and decimated to a four-piece with the departure of DR.J's vocals in the winter of 2011/12 there was no hesitation in figuring out how to move forward. Vocals kept within the reborn entity and an additional depth to the maelstorm added by the introduction of the taurus. Regenerated to enable unexplored structures of their sphere... there is a vast darkness on the horizon. They are currently working on material for their fourth album - THE ORDER OF THINGS - to be recorded in 2014. This brings on the third occation with legendary engine-ear BILLY ANDERSON (Melvins, Neurosis, Sleep, Eyehategod) at the helm of the recording. This is the imminent evolution from the past's behemoths of albums, LET THE CHURCHES BURN and ASHES. Ending the year and a half long hiatus from performing live, they returned with some festival shows and a tour with Acid King in 2012 and will be playing shows and touring in 2013 and onward... With a strong DIY mind, SUMA has been releasing most of it's music through their own label and hitting the roads across Europe over the years through their own booking and with kindred spirits across the plains. In 2010 SUMA was invited by Tom G. Warrior to take part in his "Only Death Is Real" curated day at ROADBURN and saw their first appearance on U.S. soil - an east-coast tour with Unearthly Trance. As well as distribution and marketing help for ASHES through swedish death/black metal label REGAIN RECORDS.
