Sumo Cyco - Initiation

Canadian rock/metal crossover quartet Sumo Cyco transcend into an explosive new era with their third full-length album and Napalm Records debut, Initiation - inviting a mass of new fans into their warped, dystopian-like world of ""Cyco City""! Interlaced with infectious heavy metal grooves, pop-perfected hooks, electronic undertones and a dose of punk flavor, Initiation breaks all the rules while delivering a cohesive yet purely unbridled sonic adventure. As with it's predecessors Lost In Cyco City (2014), Opus Mar (2017) and countless singles, Initiation is based in the imaginative conceptual location of ""Cyco City,"" and builds upon the theme, it's characters, and more specifically, it's faction-like ""gangs."" But unlike most concept albums, the lyrical content is inspired by the band's real-time environment - featuring timely, personal themes of love, sacrifice, anxiety, empowerment and more that all listeners can relate to.
