ABOUT
Kumsumption is a death metal band from Los Angeles, California, conceived during the covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and established in 2022
Kumsumption consists of Drummer David Ortiz, Guitarists Mark Vargas, Joe Martinez, the latter performing as the group's vocalist, and Joshua Kalmar acting as the bands lead bassist.
Molded by the brutalities of life, Kumsumption's music reflects the violence and dangers of living in poverty, the negligence of the state, and the overall decadence that consumes all living flesh.
Intense and aggressive, Kumsumption's mission statement is one of awareness and the transmutation of the inexpressible taboos that are part of human nature.
