The Third Eye is digging SUMO’s new video for “Apophis,” a track laced with cosmic distortion and powerful riffs. The Miami trio—heavy instrumental space rock purveyors—delivers a gravitational force bound to pull you in.
The music video, featuring dancer Hattie Mae Williams, is a surrealist ritual in which light, shadow, and riffs twist into something you can’t quite explain but feel in your bones.
SUMO isn’t merely another psych-instrumental band noodling through the void. With their new album III, the band transcends their past work, expanding the cinematic scope of their sound.
Think Kubrick directing a black hole ballet, with guitars instead of dialogue. It’s both crushing and elegant—like a supernova in slow motion.
SUMO dodges the Stoner/Doom scene’s usual pitfalls: no Sabbath worship, no fuzz-drenched nostalgia. Instead, they carve out their own lane, where chaos and control exist in a constant push-pull. It’s high art without pretension, destruction with a painter’s precision.
Watch “Apophis” and get pulled in.
