Italy's
sonic alchemists UFOMAMMUT begin their month-long North American tour tonight,
Wednesday, May 23rd, in Providence,
Rhode Island. The band's latest
journey breaks a three-year silence since their last stateside tour, and
includes performances at Maryland Deathfest, Northwest Terror Fest, Sled Island
Festival, and more. Support will be provided by New York-based psychedelic rock
act, White Hills. See all confirmed dates below.
UFOMAMMUT will be touring in support of their eighth LP, 8,
released in September through Neurot Recordings. Captured 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.
8 is available on vinyl and CD formats via Neurot
Recordings, and on a limited and regular edition vinyl via UFOMAMMUT's
Supernatural Cat label. Place European orders for the limited LP hand-crafted
