Ufomammut/8/Neurot Recordings/2017 CD Review


  Italy's  Ufomammut  have  returned  with  a  new  recording  that  continues  their  psychedelic  mixture  of  stone r and  doom  metal  from  previous  recordings  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2017  album  "8"  which  will b em released  in September  by  Neurot  Recordings.

  Atmospheric sounding  drones  start  off  the  album  along  with  some  drum  beats  a  few  seconds later  while  guitar  noises  and  psychedelic  elements  are  also  utilized  at  times  and  after  awhile  powerful sounding  bass  guitars  start  to  make  their presence  known  and  a  great  portion  of t he  tracks  are  very  long  and  epic  in  length.


  When  vocals  are  utilized  they  are  done  in  a  very  aggressive  yet  melodic  style  along  with  a  touch  of  hardcore  while  the  music  also  mixes  in  the  heaviness  of  sludge  and  doom  metal  with  the  guitar  riffing  and  elements  of  post  metal  can  also  be  heard  at  times,  synths  also  add  in  a  touch  of  ambient  and  all  of  the  songs  stick  to  a  very  slow  musical  direction.

  Ufomammut  creates  another  recording  that  remains  true  to  the  psychedelic  mixture  of  stoner  and  doom  metal  from  previous  releases,  the  production  sounds  very  professional while  the  lyrics  cover  mythology  and  esoteric  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from Ufomammut  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Babel"  "Fatum"  and  "Psyrcle".  8 out of  10.
