Captured during the late fall of 2020, ‘Two Beasts’ documented a precise moment in SUMAC’s ongoing evolution, distilling everything that defined their sound into a single, imposing composition. Spanning 18 minutes, the piece leaned fully into the band’s extremities: bowel-rattling low end, labyrinthine time signatures, vast stretches of negative space, and punishing repetition. Rather than chasing momentum, the track moved through tension and release with deliberate unpredictability, each shift feeling earned through patience and sheer physical weight.

What set ‘Two Beasts’ apart was its command of restraint. Long, empty pauses and jazz-informed structural thinking didn’t soften the impact — they intensified it. Silence became as threatening as distortion, making the eventual eruptions of mammoth groove feel even more destabilising. Riffs unfolded and collapsed, patterns re-emerged in altered forms, and the music constantly resisted expectation. Operating somewhere between ritual and confrontation, the track revealed SUMAC’s ability to weaponise both volume and absence. ‘Two Beasts’ stood as experimental metal at its most uncompromising: a document of control, risk, and raw power that rewarded close, immersive listening.
