Sumerlands announce new album, Dreamkiller
Sumerlands have announced a new album. On September 16, the heavy metal group will release Dreamkiller via Relapse. The first single they’ve shared from the album is the title track. Check it out below via its video, reminiscent of low-budget ’80s VHS clips, as well as the album’s artwork and tracklist.
The album is produced by Sumerlands guitarist Arthur Rizk, who’s also produced great records by Power Trip, Devil Master and more recently Candy. Rizk elaborates about the new track in a press release: “The ‘Dreamkiller’ instrumental section was inspired by Elton John’s ‘Funeral For a Friend’ which has the most evil sounding Bach-like guitar harmonies. I was drawing from the epicness of that song, as well as Judas Priest’s ‘Stained Class’ and Billy Joel’s ‘Movin’ Out’ which to me all typify that big 70s sound.”
Sumerlands Dreamkiller tracklist:
- Twilight Points The Way
