On The Healer, the new album from Northwest-based trio SUMAC, consisting of guitarist/vocalist Aaron Turner, bassist Brian Cook and drummer Nick Yacyshyn, the group deepens their multi-layered exploration of the parallel experiences of creation and destruction. Over the course of four tracks in 76 minutes, SUMAC presents a sequence of shifting movements subject to a constant process of expansion, contraction, corruption and regrowth.

This musical methodology mirrors the thematic nature of the record - narratives of experiential injury as gateways to empowerment and development, both individually and collectively. The group's interpolation of melody, drone, improvisation and complex riffing becomes a transformative act that embodies the depth of human experience. In its highest aspirations, it reflects our ability to endure mortal and spiritual challenges from which we can emerge with a heightened capacity for understanding, empathy and love for ourselves and others. As dark as the subterranean abysses of The Healer may seem at first glance, one can sense there an unwavering determination to embrace life, acknowledge interdependence and honor the gift of existence.
