Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom) has a new band called Sumac, with drummer Nick Yacyshyn from Baptists. On bass, though not a full-time member, bassist Brian Cook (Botch, These Arms are Snakes, Russian Circles) recorded on the upcoming album.
“We are pursuing this as a fully functional band rather than side project, with plans to play live in the coming year and continue with further writing/recording thereafter.”
The debut album, titled The Deal, is already complete and will be out in February 2015 on Profound Lore Records (SIGE Records is handling the vinyl production). Samples from the album will be made available “in the next month or so.”
The Deal track listing:
1. Spectral Gold
2. Thorn in the Lion’s Paw
3. Hollow King
4. Blight’s End Angel
5. The Deal
6. Radiance of Being
