Sum Of R unleash »Spectral« – a ritual in sound!
The Finnish-Swiss trio Sum Of R release their new album »Spectral« this Friday – and it’s anything but ordinary. Expect crushing sludge, haunting screams, operatic vocals, and avant-garde sound experiments that shift from terrifying to strangely beautiful in a heartbeat.
Featuring guest appearances from Juho Vanhanen (Oranssi Pazuzu, Grave Pleasures) and Vicotnik (Dødheimsgard), Spectral is less an album than a séance on tape – raw, unsettling, and hypnotic. This is music for those who dare to explore the unknown.
Bandcamp stream HERE.
Formed by Swiss sound-shaper Reto Mäder and completed by Finnish visionaries Marko Neuman and Jukka Rämänen, Sum Of R channel cosmic vibrations more than genre – summoning music that feels unearthed rather than written. »Spectral« is the sound of a séance captured on tape: raw yet spacious, disciplined yet dreamlike.
»Spectral« is released on October 3, 2025.
CD & Digital (Dusktone) 9 song edition. With one additional song compared to the LP version.
