US Progressive Post-Metal band SEMUTA published the official video for the title-track from new album “Glacial Erratic” out on May 24, 2024. Watch the video through the youTube player below:
SEMUTA is the duo of guitarist/vocalist Benjamin Caragol and drummer Ben Stoller, former members of noted Rose City bands such as Burials, Dark Numbers, Hot Victory and Hang the Old Year. Together as SEMUTA, the two summon a mournful strain of Sludgy Post-Metal, marked by enthralling songcraft and passionate execution.
Mixed by Scott Evans at Antisleep Audio (Kowloon Walled City, Great Falls) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Portrayal of Guilt, Torche), debut full-length “Glacial Erratic” depicts an ocean of melancholy, punctuated by triumphant swells. Its five songs unfold over the course of 37 minutes, with Caragol‘s rich, clean vocals soaring over icy lulls and metallic eruptions. Navigating gentle interludes, tense buildups peppered with odd time signatures, and heroic climaxes, Stoller delivers Rock-solid beatings in the Bonham tradition and Caragol unfurls a spectrum of six-string magic, all in service of the songs’ momentum.
SEMUTA‘s “Glacial Erratic” is an album that challenges the mind whilst stirring the soul, and it is likely to hook the ears of any fan of progressive heavy music, from Russian Circles to Cave In and beyond.
