Smote - Clyppan

On January 22, 2025 – the day before their thunderous performance at London’s ICA alongside labelmates, Teeth Of The Sea – the four members of Smote entered Bear Bites Horse studio. With producer, Wayne Adams, at the controls, they laid down a live set brimming with raw, elemental power.

What emerged is ‘Clyppan’ – four drone-and-repetition driven incantations, distilled from the primal essence of Smote’s sound. These tracks channel something ancient and urgent, summoning spirits and revelations in their wake. It’s music as ritual, as invocation – pure aural sorcery.

So gather together. Form a circle. Join hands. And embrace the ecstatic, untamed energy of Smote in their most untethered and primal form.
