Sumac - Debut Album Available For Streaming Online

The band's debut album is called The Deal and it drops on February 17th via Profound Lore Records. But why wait? You can already stream the entire record on Bandcamp now.

Tracklist:
01. Spectral Gold
02. Thorn In The Lion's Paw

I gave it a try despite not being in the mood for sludgy Post-Metal and I'm so glad I did  "Crushing" might not be an overstatement for once.

Quite a weird album, and I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy - the sludge clearly dominates in this one. It was interesting but felt slightly lacking writing-wise

Hollow King is probably my favorite track. The whole album is great, though not as adventurous as I had hoped.
