Sumac, the trio consisting of vocalist and guitarist Aaron Turner (ex-Isis, Old Man Gloom), bassist Brian Cook (ex-Botch, Russian Circles), and drummer Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists), will release their new album May You Be Held on September 18.

"As an artist in this time of significant upheaval, society seemingly having reached the end of its current iteration, it’s of critical importance to absorb and interpret this process of dissolution – and of the transformation that hopefully follows it" said Turner. "While I don’t believe we’re on the brink of collective destruction precisely now, this is clearly a pivotal stage in the story of humankind – and there is something that feels right about this music at this exact and very uncertain moment."

May You Be Held was recorded throughout 2017, 2018 and 2019 by Kurt Ballou at Robert Lang Studios, Matt Bayles at The Unknown, and at House of Low Culture. Sumac also released a new live album last week benefiting multiple organizations.

Pre-order for May You Be Held are available here.
