Seum also is the name of a Sludge trio from Montreal in Québec. It consists of Gaspard  (vocals; Lord Humungus ), Piotr  (bass; Mlah! ), and Fred   (drums; Uluun ). You're missing a guitar here? Actually, I don't. The trio's debut EP has everything smoked-out Sludge needs: heavy-weight drums, cracking bass riffs and hoarse screams for the lyrics. Mid-tempo Doom Metal themes make their way through the six tracks on "Summer of Seum". The sound is raw, rough and grinding. And on top it is original since Seum recorded the complete EP during a live session at Montreal's ...
