Sacramento, CA, US · 2021–present · active
Sacramento's S.U.R.G.E. emerged in 2021 with a sludge metal attack that feels distinctly Californian: sun-scorched, distorted, and lumbering under the weight of its own density. Their music channels the industrial edge of the Central Valley into slow-churning riffs and feedback-drenched sonic punishment.
