Suma Announce ’20 Years of Noise’ Tour
Some bands are never going to be for everybody, and the extremity of noise and pummel wrought by Suma places the Swedish four-piece distinctly in that category. All the more impressive, then, is the fact that they are preparing to tour celebrating their 20th anniversary — actually their 21st, since the tour was delayed like everything else — flying in the face of accessibility with volume on loan from that thunderstorm you remember from when you were a kid. I finally saw Suma at Høstsabbat 2019 (review here) in Oslo, and they delivered every bit of the synth-affected harshened crunch I had been hoping for. Good show? Good show. That was quite a day, looking back at it.
Their most recent studio LP, 2016’s The Order of Things (review here), continues to resonate its disaffection, and while there was talk of a new album in the works as far back as 2020, they seem to have been spending more time doing shows than recording — as one does — and with the upcoming run of shows, one imagines that’s where their heads are at now, though if they wanted to sneak into a studio and put together another five or six or seven tracks of their particular noise-atmosludge-aggro-your-arms-off kind of crunch and downer vibe, you wouldn’t hear me complain. Whenever, if ever, such a thing shows up, it’ll be welcome.
