I thought I'd post a link to fend off the inevitable "Where does the name of the band come from???"
I've always been a huge fan of Frank Herbert and the name semuta seemed very appropriate to me.
Unfortunately, as is the way with band names, I was not the first to think it would make a great name. Some brief Internet archaeology revealed a short-lived progressive rock band from the 70s.

I liked the idea of using the name anyway so we became the SeMutans. I think it has a nice mutated vibe to it.


Here's a succinct definition:

Semuta (from Dune by Frank Herbert) - A combination of a specific drug and music, which penetrated to the deepest levels of consciousness.
