Sumac is just so massively heavy. It's crazy how defined their sound is already,they only have one album out but no one does it quite like them. These guys are each gods of their respective instruments.
This is quite a change from the first album (the deal) but i really enjoy it! SOOO SLOW at the start, and absolutely pummeling. I'm still convinced that Nick has the greatest drum set on the planet too! And if you get a chance to talk to them they're the kindest human beings ever.
Idk the boys in The Body are the nicest dudes I’ve ever personally met (thus far) in tHe ScEnE. That’s some real contenders FOR SURE I’d love to meet these dudes tho
Came back to this. I've lost my passion for music and don't listen to it as much as I used to, or in the same way, but I keep coming back to this band. They're just good. This is well written and well produced. Any complaints a person could have with it would have to be stylistic.
So damn good, it paints such a vivid picture. I cannot wait until to hear it live, hopefully this track will tie me over until June. Proud to have Sumac in the NW!
Nick is awesome. Aaron is awesome. No one talks about Brian? He's the backbone of the first two. If you remove the bass from a song like this, 50% of its power is gone. So smooth, yet so brute. They're all so go(o)d damn!!! I don't know if Kurt mixed or just produced, but someone got sloppy at the low end... yet, pretty brooootal!
+Pedro Mau I think that's because of the low DB mastering's first impression,though.If you crank up the volume I believe you'll find plenty of low end.I was fooled at first,too.
Aha Tool! Scratched by Sumac! Better wear an official Tool t-shirt around Mr. Jones.... He doesn't take too kindly to individuals sporting knock-offs. No joke. You have been warned people!
+Jesse Haywood Actually on a closer listen it seems to be a low G. Could be G, F, Bb, Eb, G, bb, like Old Man Gloom's "Eden's Gates" or "Predator". C Standard, with the low down to G and the high C down to B flat. This is only following Aaron Turner's tuning pattern across his bands though.
+Joey Kiser Absolutely, I hear what you mean! The Torche trick is a string tuned to an indecipherable flabby mess once distorted through bigass amps. I too am guessing this, but I think it's choice select dissonance. Basically when you're playing guitar and hit a single note (in Sumac's case here), hit your lowest string and find the note an octave + one semitone up simultaneously. Total caveman terms and mightn't make sense but hey, it's a new age of heavy.
Sounds like its from thick to thin strings - AGCFAD Whole thing tuned down a step or even a semitone lower then that. But instead of drop C it's drop A like a seven string guitar. Melvins/Neurosis kinda tuning. Mastodons first LP Remission is entirely in that tuning... I could be wrong but it's a sic sound nonetheless.
I get what you mean, but I disagree. It is crushing, crisp, chaotic, ominous and dreadful; qualities that Meshuggah have wonderfully distilled.. but that doesn't mean that Meshuggah has carved out the entirety of music's depths. So I see how that comparison can be made, but it is a broad stroke. But opinions on music and music in general are so subjective, and that's kind of the fun of it all. (I imply that Meshuggah is "djenty" because later "djenty" band have been moving farther from those comparable traits.)
This here is prime example that you don't need breakneck speed, blast beats, widdly diddly guitar solos, low growls, drop A tuning to be "heavy". This has neither and this, THIS is heavy as fuck.
Aaron does sing in rather low growls, the guitar is tuned to some alternate drop A (and drop A#) tuning, at times they play at a considerable tempo, and "Will To Reach" has blast beats. Just sayin'.
Aaron Turner consistently makes the best music I've ever heard.
I acknowledge your opinion and agree 100%
And then you cover it :-)
Yes... He sure does. As well as surround himself with brilliant musicians.
Agree 137%
The world needs this.
I'm feeling pretty rigid, man.
+davethehostage If condition lasts for more than seven hours, consult a doctor.
***** That's just crass.
Seriously though, if you listen any longer, you may experience permanent hearing damage.
Holy fuck. Had no idea Sumac was recording anything yet. This is greatness.
Sounds like music to my ears.
Perfect analogy
I'd be concerned if it didn't.
May You Be Held has Sumac reveling in the audio greatness they have achieved. Brilliant with grand purpose and emotion.
EGC baritone absolutely kicks ass.
Im saving up for one right as I type this
Perfect amount of atmosphere and brutality. This next album is going to be crushing
so good
i can't help listening to this song every day, but sumac can
I cannot be the only one who thinks this almost has got a djent-y vibe soundwise (not to knock it, it is amazing). SUMACCAH!
Love sumac so much.
Came here after listening to he who sleeps by morbid angel and couldn’t help but feel it influenced this to a degree
Never thought of that, I hear it now.

It's not surprising given that each member is pretty accomplished in their own right.

Still breaks me into pieces in 2020!
Aaron Turner's vocals explode my ovaries.
That comment made my day!
gross ;)
@@333espn thx

Toxic Potato Mental illness, physical illness. Bad times. Oh well.
+Polyfusia Know what you mean, bro...been there...and I'm still fighting with that state sometimes
Let me also say that I feel like Brian Cook is incredibly overlooked. His bass tone really brings this band together.
Lol! One bass note, with terrrrrible muddy bass tone. What is there to like about the bass on this?
So damn good, it paints such a vivid picture. I cannot wait until to hear it live, hopefully this track will tie me over until June.
Proud to have Sumac in the NW!
One of the best songs ive heard in a long time. \m/
Can't believe this is Metallica and Iron Maiden together in one band, really blows my mind. very cool
dude this is Lars' worst drum work yet
Bruce Dickinson's voice is alot lower in this band as well
Come to Brazil!
That ending is a beginning
Just found this, sooo goood!
Bangin'
+Paulo Brasil me too

Brian Cook is the best bass in metal, right now, and for the last couple of years, period....
+Carlos Hernandez-Araujo Amen brother!
I think no one really comments on him because he does not contribute to writing? correct me if im wrong
+Brendan Mackay We writes his own bass lines. Aaron doesn't write all the stuff.
THIS IS SO FUCKING HEEEAVVYYYY!! Can´t wait to hear the rest of the album!
this song break necks
I feel I'm like a cinder block being smashed by a sledgehammer listing to this !
beautiful tone :), awesome stuff, that ending was amazing
Girthiest of the girth right here
L O W E N D F R E Q U E N C I E S
Gahdamn. That's heavy
this is not too bad, hope to see more of this in the future :)
great shit ! can't wait for the album to come out
All I can think of is that episode of Spongebob where Patrick's "parents" visited and when he caught on to them Janet was just like "Marty I'm scared"
love
I come from a shellac/jesus lizard/engine kid ball park of music. I don't dig metal generally. But this shit has awoken me.
Everything in your comment is same for me except thank you for making me check out engine kid. In turn I would like to suggest Blacklevel embassy.
This is fucking awesome, can't wait for the album to come out!
I like it.
This is the greatest song ever made. I want to apologize to Third Eye by Tool, you're a fantastic 2nd place in my mind
Aha Tool! Scratched by Sumac! Better wear an official Tool t-shirt around Mr. Jones.... He doesn't take too kindly to individuals sporting knock-offs. No joke. You have been warned people!
@@theodoredavidmooney5703 I met Mr Jones at a head shop on Haight'Ashbury in 2004. He's a cool duderino bro!
@@333espn yes... Unless you are wearing un-official Tool swag... Then it's up in the air which AJ you will get ...
This is great, and I love Turner’s work, but Third Eye isn’t going down that easily.
The jizz...it's everywhere.
This is Heavy..
Balls... this music has BALLS!!
Oh hell to tha muthafukin yea!!!!!!!
FUCKING AWESOME!!! SUMAC RULES!
Nasty good!!
love The Deal but this one, its like a psychopath horror movie ambient, i dont know
Waiting for the new album...
Fucking hell man! I've never had my entire cabinet shake from low end like this before!
Great tone + dynamic and deep sound! Wonderful job Aaron & co.!
Holy shit!
perfect!
FUCKING heavy
8:40
Holy shit.
I never thought they would be able to surpass Thorn in the Lion's Paw...
I was wrong.
Fuckin bestial track. Looking forward to this nightmare.
HOLY FUCK !
Damn this shit is heavy
4:59 sounds like SGC2C lol
Fuck! That is the Goddamn shit!
Which bridge is that in the background?
What tuning is this? It's awesome and heavy as fuck

I too am guessing this, but I think it's choice select dissonance.

Total caveman terms and mightn't make sense but hey, it's a new age of heavy.
+Jesse Haywood Yeah man I love this shit
I wonder if he's gone to a lower tuning than last effort??
Yo if anyones got the tabs for this or atleast the tuning it would be highly appreciated
Sounds like its from thick to thin strings - AGCFAD
Whole thing tuned down a step or even a semitone lower then that. But instead of drop C it's drop A like a seven string guitar. Melvins/Neurosis kinda tuning. Mastodons first LP Remission is entirely in that tuning... I could be wrong but it's a sic sound nonetheless.
I knew it would be good, but FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
godflesh!!!
That end is kinda djenty,am I right?
+Θάνος Μήτρας If it is, it's what djent should aspire to be.
totaly agreed!

next best thing after Corrupted. the world is saved.
Blast beats already out of style ya'll
Heavy as all fuck. I like it.
Fucking HEEAAVVY!!!

and there's literally a shred solo in this song.
Where's the music?
haha
anyone tell me bands with that music but with No vocals like that,,,,something with more normal voices
neurosis kinda has this but with cleaner vocals
