Bludgeoning riffs, pounding grooves and breakneck energy, Somnuri is aggressive Brooklyn sludge-metal at its finest! Somnuri weave together breakneck energy, infectious melodies and slow-burning aggression, a cacophony of bludgeoning riffs and pounding grooves that shares DNA with High on Fire, Mastodon, Torche and Kvelertak. A snapshot of survival and resilience in their native Brooklyn, Nefarious Wave sets forth Somnuri's devastating musical worldview, ready for those willing to inhabit it with them. Brooklyn sludgesters Somnuri formed a few years back by two musicians who practiced next door to each other and both liked what they were hearing through the walls -- Justin Sherrell (Blackout, Tower, Bezoar) and Phil SanGiacomo (Family, Grandfather, Last Hours) -- and they released their self-titled LP in 2017 followed by a split with Godmaker the following year. In 2019, they welcomed new member Philippe Arman (who also played in Tower with Justin), and now their new three-piece lineup is set to release a new album, Nefarious Wave, on June 4 via Blues Funeral Recording (pre-order). For Fans of High on Fire, Mastodon, Baroness, Kvelertak, Gojira, Soundgarden, Torche "A plethora of traits ranging from sludge to math while adding in some delicate melodies, Somnuri round out a sound that's heavy as fuck but easy to listen to anytime." _ Metal Injection
