With The Crisis of Existence, Sutras return not to comfort, but to rupture, dragging the weight of the world through a volatile blend of DC-bred hardcore, crust’s grime, sludge’s lurch, and the mesmeric haze of shoegaze and post rock. Bloom Watch, the latest single from the very fresh EP, is less genre-blending and more genre-collision, as a sort of an upheaval reflecting the times in which it was forged.
Sutras' sound doesn't seek resolution; it thrives in collapse, channeling existential freefall into something unrelenting, and strangely redemptive.
