The long awaited second full-length from Bay Area death metal band does not disappoint, a fully terrifying beatdown you won't be able to escape in a hurry. Engineered by Jack Shirley (Deatheaven, Botanist, Oathbreaker). Featuring members of Bosse-de-Nage, Slough Feg, Pig DNA. Plumbing the depths of modern death metal with primitive elegance, Succumb have returned with their sophomore release<i> XXI</i>. 

One of the strongest up-and-coming metal bands in recent years, what sets Succumb apart from their peers is vocalist Cheri Musrasrik; the juxtaposition of death metal riffing and propulsive drums with Musrasrik’s cavernous howl and sophisticated lyrics make a unique listening experience in today’s crowded landscape. Musrasrik cites authors and poets like Yeats, Genet and Zola as her primary lyrical influences. XXI sees an allegorical look at the elements and their related mythologies. Talks about Lilith, the Orphic poems, ocean and nature deities, Dionysus, Arthurian literature, fly agaric as soma, the cosmic egg, and the Boxer Rebellion. Succumb was formed in 2014 by a group of friends with diverse musical backgrounds who share a common love for Canadian death metal, war metal, and 1990s Napalm Death.
