UFOMAMMUT Reveals First Track From Their Seventh Album, Ecate, Via The Quietus
New Tour Dates, Artwork And Making-Of Video Released
There's smoke rising from the chimneys as UFOMAMMUT anoints their first track to be spread across the lands in the form of "Temple", culled from their upcoming Neurot Recordings-bound seventh album, Ecate. An
ambitious break away from their usual approach to crafting songs, and
featuring biting riff work combined with an assured sense of regality,
and a sweet tooth for luscious progressive segments, clocking in at over
seven minutes, "Temple" has the same earworm quality that makes their
previous recordings so rewarding to return to, but also sees UFOMAMMUT developing a tendency to explore territories outside of their ritualistic boundaries. UFOMAMMUT's "Temple" has been exclusively premiered today via The Quietus, and is now playing at http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlU1bzVj041vtrIIQIkRh4ZkHZf8-HRcKZcJq45b2E6Tyz76Xl5i-vDrIqLtxWR2HPvyZdRIPwinsRY4oihXZmYgCbd84lYJ032MHcck1seAFG1Z7jY53YevgMTSdmu3GWEEefUwBnRkv-DB6HDAKilyZuyv_MDE58s92ZNr-o-Z6SiHAgjYDSZm46BkaTUiZ8jwziXfRrLZ3KN7AM0UMw==&c=xwxW0g1G6wXm6dmdmaW2wbW2_P1WZ-_JSiwxE_XvRz5RZuAoR2BKNA==&ch=nmt3ep5_G8DtMMxwuB4hWK50gFrCATgk4XA6ax4uQ25uIvTy7tm_ww==" rel="nofollow - THIS LOCATION .

These short videos offer a chance to explore the story behind the recording of the album and the roots of UFOMAMMUT's sound, reaffirming the band's DIY approach to everything they do. From their second video, drummer Vita explains, "Every
time we record a new album we are used to saying it is much different
from the previous releases. This time it really is! It has different
solutions, a different sound and more complicated drum parts, with much
more use of the double kick and also parts that are more accelerated." UFOMAMMUT is also thrilled to announce the Ecaterelease
tour of Europe, which kicks off in April and takes the band across
Europe, including appearances at both of this year's Desertfest events
in London and Berlin alongside the UK's Conan. Additional tour dates are
to be announced, including a North American tour coinciding with the
band's first performance at Maryland Deathfest 2015 alongside Conan,
Primitive Man, Mantar, Jex Thoth, labelmates Yob and others, and more.

via Neurot Recordings. The Italian power trio, known for its almighty
heavy capabilities and psychedelic prowess, has as many discernible
similarities as they do differences to their formative roots. Never
pandering to the easy classification of doom, the band charges sludgy
output with inimitable energy and wild, wayfaring ambition which is
matched by the tight-knit musical understanding that flows
telepathically between the three members, Poia, Urlo, and Vita. On their
latest album, UFOMAMMUT takes a confident step forward with
their craft, orchestrating atmospheric processions that take the six
songs on the album to places as of yet uncharted, the only guide being
that of Ecate (Hecate in English), the three-sided goddess who
moves between the realms of the living, the dead, and the gods.
Traditionally associated with matters of the liminal (statues of her can
be found at crossroads and city walls, where she would be believed to
either bless or curse travelers), she represents the link between the
past, the present and the future in a way which resonates true with UFOMAMMUT, and with the name of the band, too. http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlU1bzVj041vtrIIQIkRh4ZkHZf8-HRcKZcJq45b2E6Tyz76Xl5i-sUgc-7Opaijr49inNHxAUJDox2T31RdGAzNMbnL-ySubMl_cNKjuKYgn1F1bW6bPOBM0Imxyk8GEhYdEHgX7wEd05jJKPtVwvgcDzYEP8mlN35YsXWHvM4=&c=xwxW0g1G6wXm6dmdmaW2wbW2_P1WZ-_JSiwxE_XvRz5RZuAoR2BKNA==&ch=nmt3ep5_G8DtMMxwuB4hWK50gFrCATgk4XA6ax4uQ25uIvTy7tm_ww==" rel="nofollow - http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlU1bzVj041vtrIIQIkRh4ZkHZf8-HRcKZcJq45b2E6Tyz76Xl5i-tdOnrk4FaBkhgkTyvqLVqYUR18uqUuLvbXdzwlew4WvxDsvyD2xPBjFa_KXUfhsbY3pVUSpNAPCjJ4b1k58V01nVHjmiNhxA58TtqN2oU2t-FGTVZYeCMJLAPMOiTou3WzQu_uZet-zjZIY3yfnPmNpnReONDfHYw==&c=xwxW0g1G6wXm6dmdmaW2wbW2_P1WZ-_JSiwxE_XvRz5RZuAoR2BKNA==&ch=nmt3ep5_G8DtMMxwuB4hWK50gFrCATgk4XA6ax4uQ25uIvTy7tm_ww==" rel="nofollow - http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlU1bzVj041vtrIIQIkRh4ZkHZf8-HRcKZcJq45b2E6Tyz76Xl5i-tdOnrk4FaBkU4ndU_CQQ92TqX4ttgy5IBnFBWQhAcitri2kF0vOWJxyY-AC_eHt4b1Sm-CT-eOLytioRdBVzGTXEZWU0X8vQYHTG1LkJBCC6w7MiJ6AEIe_dwDPc5ZAFg==&c=xwxW0g1G6wXm6dmdmaW2wbW2_P1WZ-_JSiwxE_XvRz5RZuAoR2BKNA==&ch=nmt3ep5_G8DtMMxwuB4hWK50gFrCATgk4XA6ax4uQ25uIvTy7tm_ww==" rel="nofollow - http://www.malleusdelic.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.malleusdelic.com http://www.neurotrecordings.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.neurotrecordings.com http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlU1bzVj041vtrIIQIkRh4ZkHZf8-HRcKZcJq45b2E6Tyz76Xl5i-igROakRnDJCDFhTLs7lnNn6nQvF4eWodFXDxQXcpBEvSf7UHZD7PqaQVHKTkTvhXQ6Lv_zMeZkMm56HCKVPQWqbuELMvZXhZ_eQD5PNYBK14RywHuTqQNhwGHAaMos92dz9Zn-rCs1L&c=xwxW0g1G6wXm6dmdmaW2wbW2_P1WZ-_JSiwxE_XvRz5RZuAoR2BKNA==&ch=nmt3ep5_G8DtMMxwuB4hWK50gFrCATgk4XA6ax4uQ25uIvTy7tm_ww==" rel="nofollow -
