Sumerlands

Sumerlands are a Philadelphia-based heavy metal quintet comprising scene veterans whose sound is rooted in 1970s hard rock and classic power metal from the '80s and '90s. Their acclaimed sound weds vintage metal styles to modern production thanks to guitarist Arthur Rizk. Following a 2014 demo, they signed with Relapse for their 2016 eponymous debut album. After touring, a personnel change, and the pandemic, they returned with a new singer for 2022's Dreamkiller.
