SUMAC is an American metal band formed in 2014 by Aaron Turner. Known for their intense and powerful sound, SUMAC has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most influential bands in the metal genre. With their official capitalization, they have created a unique identity that sets them apart from other artists.

Inspired by bands such as *ISIS*, *Zozobra*, and *Old Man Gloom*, SUMAC's music combines elements of doom, sludge, and post-metal to create a truly immersive listening experience. Their heavy riffs, complex song structures, and atmospheric soundscapes captivate audiences around the world.

With each release, SUMAC continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Collaborating with talented performers like *Helms Alee* and *Conjurer*, they constantly evolve their sound while staying true to their artistic vision. Their music resonates with fans of bands like *Neurosis*, *LLNN*, and *Torche* who appreciate the raw emotion and intensity that SUMAC brings to every performance.

Picking up where the band left off with their critically acclaimed Love in Shadow, the trio of Aaron Turner (ISIS, Old Man Gloom), Brian Cook (Russian Circles), and Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists) push further into the polarity of their sound with long-form composition and free-form exploration. Meticulously detailed and complex one moment, rudimentary and repetitive the next, and completely untethered and unscripted at seemingly random - May You Be Held is an album that fluctuates between extreme discipline and control and an almost feral energy.
