Boston psychedelic heavy headbangers SUMMONER present melancholic masterpiece 'Let the Light in (live)'

Magnetic Eye Records present a blistering live document of their flagship band SUMMONER ripping it up onstage at the "Day of Doom" label showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate MER'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.

SUMMONER comment: "In contrast to our driving up-tempo stuff, this tune is all about the atmosphere", state the Bostonians. "We have been playing it since the early days, and this track seems to morph and take on new forms every time we bring it on stage."

"Day of Doom Live" presents SUMMONER blasting the stage with the signature riffs and solos of twin-guitarists AJ Peters and Joe Richner as well as the soaring, layered vocals of bassist and singer Chris Johnson, who also handles bass in post-black metal sensation DEAFHEAVEN. Their heavy music is thunderously delivered in a heated live setting, where SUMMONER launch catchy songs that they propel beyond the realm of light and into oblivion.

Over the course of three albums and appearances on several Redux releases, SUMMONER have honed their sound, which draws heavily from classic 70s and early 80s metal, as well as more modern spacefaring psychedelics. Lyrically the four Americans from Boston, Massachusetts are adding related themes, which are rooted in science fiction and fantasy.

Release date: December 11th
