Seum is a bass-only sludge band from Montreal (Canada) formed by 3 doom veterans formerly in Lord Humungus (Gaspard – vocals), Mlah! (Piotr – bass), and Uluun (Fred – drums). Adding a ferocious punk energy to their New Orleans inspired sludge, the band is known for its intense live performances, workaholic attitude and nihilistic, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.

Seum means Venom in Arabic and is French slang for disappointment and frustration: No guitars.

After releasing two albums, »Winterized« in June 2021, »Double Double« in February 2023 and multiple EPs while playing shows in Canada, US and Europe, the band released »Éfrit« on September 20th, the 3rd single of its upcoming split album with Temple Of The Fuzz Witch – »Conjuring« – to be released on Black Throne Productions:

“We had our first drug experiences as kids with Moroccan Hashish. Cheap, mixed with weird stuff – the urban legend claims it was tires – it was a way to escape our daily teenage boredom but it could also take you on the worst paranoid trip. »Éfrit« is about those days, we used this cunning Arabic demon as a metaphor and it inspired us to write one of our heaviest songs to date: »Éfrit« chose us as her sons.”
