The Healer
“The experimental metal trio’s four-song, 76-minute album is the peak of their career. It’s dense and invigorating, highlighting the band’s dexterity, creativity, and clarity of purpose.”
May You Be Held
“Returning with mightier riffs and wilder improvisations than ever, the trio offers a spiritual vision of metal, one well timed to a moment of crisis.”
Love In Shadow
“After sessions last year with Japanese improv legend Keiji Haino, the powerful metal trio ripped its newest songs open, filling the negative space with improvisational gusto to become a stunning band.”
What One Becomes
“Sumac, Aaron Turner's post-Isis trio, succeed at making minimalist doom metal because they recall what fans of Isis loved without resembling Turner's past work in the slightest.”
The Deal
“Since disbanding his seminal post-metal act Isis, Aaron Turner has broadened the scope of his work with groups like Old Man Gloom and Mamiffer. The debut from his latest project, Sumac, which also features contributions from Russian Circles bassist Brian Cook, finds him at his most sonically aggressive in years.”
What One Becomes
“The musicians' playing retains the band's typically muscular vigour, but has taken on extra nuance.”
