With the release of UFOMAMMUT's eighth LP, 8,
nearing release through Neurot Recordings next week, the band presents a visual
accompaniment for the album's thundering "Core," which is now playing
at Decibel Magazine.
Recorded at Crono Sound Factory in Vimodrone,
Milano, Italy, 8 is a major turning point in the heavy alchemic arts, with the
elements of UFOMAMMUT's recording constellation being re-aligned. Although the
musicians within the collective remain unturned, a change in recording approach
saw the trio playing and recording live together in the same room, even
utilizing their live sound engineer Ciccio and his project Femore for
production purposes, with Fabrizio San Pietro on mixing duties. Overdubs were
used only for vocals, synth sounds, and minor details, with the result of the
endeavor being a stricter focus on the soul, darkened groove, and overall
cohesion of the music and themselves as musicians. In turn, 8 clarified to
UFOMAMMUT who they are as a unit now and their new sonic path...
Decibel offers, "Psychedelic doom titans
UFOMAMMUT have increased both the psychedelic and the doom on their new record,
8. Containing eight tracks of flattening and mind-bending metal, the trio make
it clear that almost two decades in, they're still pushing sonic boundaries. On
'Core,' the album's sixth song, UFOMAMMUT employ psychedelia that pulses and
swirls around walls of guitars that sound like the work of a much larger band.
Buried beneath the thick layers of sound are bassist/keyboardist Ulo's vocals;
combined with the psychedelic elements, it's almost possible to believe that
'Core' is an alien transmission."
