Suma to Reissue Ashes on Argonauta Records

Usually when bands sign to new labels and do reissues, they dip back to the beginnings of their catalog — the debut, or if for whatever reason not that, their sophomore outing. Well, Ashes was Suma‘s third record, released in 2010, but it’s also their most recent full-length. In essence, the Malmö four-piece have inked a deal to put out their last record again. Not something you see every day, but if you’ve heard Ashes at any point in the last five years, you likely understand why it might be the exception to any number of rules. It continues to be — and I ask no pardon for the pun — exceptional, in weight and impact and pervasive sense of atmosphere.

They’ve sold through a number of pressings — I swiped the list off their Bandcamp and you can see it below — and it looks like with Argonauta Records behind this latest version, the album’s reputation will only continue to spread. In the time since its release, Suma have done splits with Pyramido and Fistula and more, so maybe it won’t be too long before word of their next full-length, which as of last year was titled The Order of Things, follows this announcement down the PR wire:
