News: BLACK/DEATH METAL PUNKS SUCCUMB PREMIERE "BEDCHAMBERS"

San Francisco black/death metal punks Succumb have unveiled another song off of their forthcoming debut album; listen to the pummeling new track “Bedchambers” today on MetalSucks.

 

Formed in 2014 by a group of friends with diverse musical backgrounds who share a common love for Canadian death metal, war metal, and 1990's Napalm Death, SUCCUMB released a demo under the name ‘Cloak’ the same year and played a handful of local shows, attracting the attention of SF-based record labelThe Flenser. The following year, Harry Cantwell (Bosse-de-Nage, ex-Slough Feg) joined the band on drums, and they got to work writing their self-titled debut album.  Due out May 5th, Succumb was recorded by bay area luminary Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Botanist, Oathbreaker, etc.) and features seven tracks from the black/death metal punks.

 

The band plumbs the depths of modern death metal with primitive elegance, but what sets Succumb apart from their peers is vocalist Cheri Musrasrik; the juxtaposition of death metal riffing and propulsive drums with her cavernous howl and sophisticated lyrics make for a unique listening experience.  Musrasrik sites authors and poets like Yeats, Jean Genet and Emile Zola as her primary lyrical influences, and throughout Succumb she tackles themes such as human experimentation and dystopias with a literary flair. 

 

Look for more news to surface soon.

1. The Initiate

2. Destroyer II
