News : Clagg & Summonus team up for mini tour

By on July 5, 2012

Press release:

Clagg from Melbourne and Summonus from Sydney are about to embark on a two show mini tour of immensely loud ‘n’ heavy proportions.

Over the past ten years Clagg – described by Hellride Music as “a filth doom fanatic’s wet dream” – have endured enormous challenges to emerge as one of Australia’s leading doom and sludge bands. Building their sound upon a foundry of monstrous guitar riffs, a bludgeoning rhythm section and demonic vocals, the band have been persistent in spreading their evil word despite many setbacks. Following multiple line-up changes, Clagg – now boasting Dav Byrne from Agonhymn in their ranks – are currently at their most cohesive and crushing.

Clagg’s brothers-in-sludge, Summonus, have two releases behind them including last year’s well received Zeichen Der Hexe full length. Described by Pyromusic.net as “the very epitome of down-tempo metal,” the four piece has had the privilege of supporting many well respected international visitors to Australia including Mastodon, Baroness, Black Cobra, Zeni Geva, Coffins and Acid King.

Catch them both live at these shows;

Friday 13th July at The Pot Belly Bar, Canberra
W/ Law of the Tongue (ex Pod People)
8pm, $10

Saturday 14th July at The Sandringham Hotel, Sydney
W/ Chroma (new band featuring members of Fattura Della Morte, Subversion and Twin City Faction) and Unknown to God
8pm, $12
