Conjuring by Seum
Conjuring is an opportunity to invoke and overcome some of our intimate issues, past (disability in “Dead Ear”, addiction in “Éfrit”) or present (aging in “Problems”).
When Black Throne reached out to propose us a split with occult kings Temple of the Fuzz Witch, we took some time to reflect on how we could make this project cohesive while being so different musically - digging back to past traumas was our answer to get into the right creative mood. Inspiration flowed naturally from there and brought our heaviest songs to date.

"DESTRUCTIVE and SONIC bombardment of downtuned filthy grooves"

"You know how at the dentist they let you pick your flavor of toothpaste? This is like that except surprise you just had all your teeth pulled."

- Rough Times
"SEUM has that sludge vibe (IRON MONKEY, EYEHATEGOD come to mind, of course), that DIY, urban, gritty punk feel. The vocals are flayed, screamed.... the sound is like an emery cloth that makes your ears bleed."

- Merg & Been
"Killer groove—driving and energetic, yet at the same time, it smashes your face straight into the mud."

- GHBHL
"Three tracks from the bass-loving trio and its three absolute bangers."

- Eklektik Rock
"A split highly recommended for fans of thick riffs and occult atmospheres (the revisited ouija board of the cover helps to get into the mood) for two groups displaying a beautiful complementarity in their stoner doom."

- Sounding Shivers
"Don’t expect to find any joy in this, but rather the impression of being immersed in a slimy musical wave."
