Summoner - Beyond The Realm Of Light - VINYL LP

The massively-anticipated third album of stoner metal excess from Boston's reigning kings! Formerly known as Riff Cannon, Summoner are a Boston institution who fuse elements of metal, stoner rock, doom, and cosmic psychedelia into a heavy rock monster that obliterates everything it meets. Following a well-received under their old moniker, the re-christened band barreled onto the scene in 2012 with InchPhoenix,Inch their debut as Summoner, selling out multiple pressings with virtually no promotion or distribution. The now classic InchAtlantianInch followed in 2013, cementing them as a force in the re-awakened stoner/doom underground.

Romford's finest Berwyn has already made a tape which got him signed to Columbia and nominated for the Mercury Music Prize so he's gone back into his bedroom and made another. This one is less a mixtape and more of an eleven song album which despite all the lo-fi mumble-rap imagery is going to be absolutely massive. Pretend you got in there first.

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Summoner ripping it up onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Over the course of three albums and appearances on several Redux releases, Summoner have honed a sound which draws heavily from classic 70s and early 80s metal, as well as more modern spacefaring psychedelics, with lyrical themes rooted in sci-fi and fantasy. Day of Doom Live presents the signature riffs and solos of dual guitarists AJ Peters and Joe Richner and the soaring, layered vocals of bassist/singer Chris Johnson (also bassist in death metal luminaries Deafheaven) delivered in a live setting, blasting forth thunderous, catchy songs propelled beyond the realm of light and into oblivion.
