Love in shadow

"Det er svært at placere det, Sumac foretager sig på 'Love in Shadow', og på den måde er bandet i sandhed trådt ud af Isis' skygge, hvis man skulle have været i tvivl på tidligere album. Bandet er helt sit eget, og hvis man giver sig hen til det, er albummet en stor oplevelse udi fortabelsens tyngde".

"After sessions last year with Japanese improv legend Keiji Haino, the powerful metal trio ripped its newest songs open, filling the negative space with improvisational gusto to become a stunning band ... Love in Shadow is a testament to perseverance in the face of uncertainty from a bandleader who has lived, worked, and loved by that ideal".

"Following their fantastic collaboration with Keiji Haino, heavy post-metal act SUMAC introduces free rock, noise, and improvisational ideas to their sound on Love in Shadow ... The change of perspective, the stylistic deviations and the smooth transitions between different modes make Love in Shadow appear as a pivotal record for the band. And while this new space that SUMAC has introduced presents numerous further possibilities, it feels that they have in part fulfilled their potential with this release. The question now is where they can take it from here?".
