Биография

Progressive metal group Sumptus Ignis (Sum-tus Ig-nis) began in 2016 as a side project for Identity Collapse members Bryn Schurman and Joshua Wojtaszek, joined on vocals by Jessy Sparks. They crystallized around the idea of fusing flavors of extreme metal with electronica, ambient synths, and progressive rock bombast. In March of 2017, Sumptus Ignis released their debut EP titled Seasons of Attrition. The four tracks move through many distinct moods and styles over the course of 29 minutes, providing a journey full of peaks and valleys, tension and release. November 2018 saw the release of their debut album Ambition a six track, 44 minute album that further combines and redefines the group's diverse palette of sounds. In June of 2019, they released their second album Curtain Calls, featuring new flavors of power-metal and psychedelia, with two tracks mixed by Silura's Richard Perdomo, who would go on to join the band and bring along Joshua Thomas Williams for the ride in 2021. John Scott also joined the fold, adding clean vocals and slide guitar to the mix. Mini-album The Kindred Dark was released in 2022, featuring a multi-song suite and a re-recorded version of their Lovecraft-Mythos devotional As Is. Sumptus Ignis is currently working on writing and releasing their next batch of songs. Look for the next single on March 15th.
