Summonus formed in mid 2007 in Sydney, Australia, through like-minded musicians wanting to create punishing and brutal sounds involving huge groove based guitar riffs, hauling powerful drums and acidic, gravel-fuelled vocals. Each band member has had experience playing in numerous other bands in Sydney, Melbourne and Scotland over the years from a variety of styles including Grindcore, Hardcore, Punk and Rock. Listening to bands such as Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, Pod People and Bongzilla gets the band inspired to play and write bone crushing slabs of low end riffage. After a bit over 12 months of gigging Summonus have been well received and have had the privilege of playing with many fine bands including Blood Duster, Pod People, Black Cobra (USA), Monarch (France), Realized (Japan), Winnebago Deal (UK), Fuck I'm Dead, Looking Glass, Fattura Della Morte, The Day Everything Became Nothing, Roadside Burial, Deathcage, Agonhymn, Mother Mars, Crux, Taipan, Ebolie and Clagg. Summonus recently released their debut (self titled) CD, featuring 5 tracks clocking in at 32 minutes. The CD was recorded at Zen Studios in Sydney by Geoff Lee and mixed and mastered by Jason PC (Blood Duster), in the depths of his seedy home studio, Goatsounds, in Melbourne. It's available as a limited edition, hand numbered (666 copies) digipack, featuring artwork by Glenn "Glenno" Smith. Summonus have an exclusive demo track, “The Gallows”, featured on a compilation CD included with the new issue (9) of Unbelievably Bad zine. Be sure to check out Summonus to get your dose of downtuned, metallic, toxic-sludge-encrusted doom!
