Heavy instrumental space rockers SUMO to release new album "III" December 13th

SUMO, hailing from Miami, FL, are a three-piece instrumental space rock band, with each member embodying a vital element in the spark, energy, and atmosphere needed to ignite their sound. Established in 2013, SUMO have released 2 full length records, along with 3 ambient singles (the ATMOS series), independently on their own Rikishi Records. The band can be summed up by two simple words: Pretty. Heavy.

SUMO’s third full length release, III (3/three), recorded at Sound Artillery Studios with Jonathan Nuñez, is available on all streaming services Dec. 13, 2024.

III takes you on an unrelenting sonic journey, launching boldly with the opening track, “Alyssa,” and winding seamlessly toward the midpoint: the lead single, “Shadow of Antiope.” From there, “Eta Carinae” propels you into a pulsating free fall through space, culminating in the final landing on “Enceladus,” the album’s closing track.

“SUMO as a sum of its parts is forever locked in the turbulent cycle of creation and destruction; it is ethereal beauty and desolate horror. Infinitely literary and cinematic. Intelligent and brash... Composed and ordered so as to allow improvisation and anarchic wail.”

- excerpt from Abel Folgar (local music journalist)
