The band comments: "We had our first drug experiences as kids with Moroccan Hashish. Cheap, mixed with weird stuff - the urban legend claims it was tires - it was a way to escape our daily teenage boredom but it could also take you on the worst paranoid trip.
Éfrit is about those days, we used this cunning Arabic demon as a metaphor and it inspired us to write one of our heaviest song to date: Éfrit chose us as her sons."
Please Note - due to delays in the recording studio, the finalized date for the full split release is still tentative for fall 2024 - however, Efrit is due for release on September 20th 2024.
BIO:
SEUM is a bass-only sludge band from Montreal (Canada) formed by 3 doom veterans formerly in Lord Humungus (Gaspard - vocals), Mlah! (Piotr - bass) and Uluun (Fred - drums). Adding a ferocious punk energy to their New Orleans inspired sludge, the band is known for its intense live performances, workaholic attitude and nihilistic, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
SEUM means Venom in Arabic and is French slang for disappointment and frustration: No guitars.
The band released two albums, Winterized in June 2021, DOUBLE DOUBLE in February 2023 and is about to head to Europe for the Problems tour before releasing a split album with Temple of the Fuzz Witch on Black Throne Productions in Fall 2024.
