This is some heavy shit. We’ve been talking about Sumac since their formation earlier this year, and the band is gearing up to release their debut album The Deal. The group features former Isis vocalist/guitarist Aaron Turner, Baptists drummer Nick Yacyshyn, and (sometimes) Brian Cook of Russian Circles.

The Deal comes out on February 3rd via Profound Lore.
