SUMERU (AUS) - Blood Ordinance 7"

7", Brilliant Emperor Records, Ltd Ed of 150, Black vinyl, 2021

Australian Sludge/Doom Metal

"As Australia's heaviest riff machine near their first decade of existence, Sumeru's latest EP, 'Blood Ordinance', showcases the uncompromising weight for which this Sydney institution gains its reputation. Pushing their speed-laden sludge deeper and deeper into deathly crevices, ‘Blood Ordinance’ offers taste after taste of what's to come in the near future as well as what's transpired since their last full length, 'Summon Destroyer'. With new vocalist Jake Willoughby (IEXIST) reflecting perfectly the brutality of a realm now plunged into war, the lofty realms for which the band have always taken refuge are now a battle field ravaged with blood and fire."
