Sumac

"Blight's Light Angel"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jan 26, 2015

Old Man Gloom mastermind Aaron Turner and Baptists drummer Nick Yacyshyn's Sumac project will reveal The Deal next week, but you can catch a skeleton- and psyche-shaking slab of gloom from the set right now via a stream of the oppressive yet atmospheric "Blight's Light Angel."

Turner takes control of the track early on with an echo-laden passage of haunted notes, but Yacyshyn comes in a couple minutes later with a steady thud. The two then proceed to bash things out via violent double kick work, gut-rumbling growls and discordant, damaged guitar lines.

The Deal lands February 3 through Profound Lore/SIGE Records. The band will also be out on a quick trip along the West Coast this March. You'll find both the song and the show info down below.

Tour dates:

03/11 Vancouver, BC - Biltmore Cabaret
03/12 Victoria, BC - Logan's Pub
03/13 Portland, OR - White Owl Social Club
03/14 Bellingham, WA - The Shakedown
