Italy’s decimating masters of psychedelic doom have landed in the US as they prepare to embark on their first ever North American tour this week in support of their lauded seventh LP, Ecate, out now on Neurot Recordings.
Celebrating their sixteenth year in existence this year, and with their triumphant two-week European tour with support from Conan freshly completed, the UFOMAMMUT trio is now set on exacting their tonal devastation upon American and Canadian audiences on their first full tour of the continent, which gets underway this Wednesday, May 13th, in Chicago. Besides a handful of live performances on the West Coast US back in 2009 and a spot appearance in Quebec exactly one year ago, this will be the first true tour for the longstanding and highly revered act on stateside soil. Deploying their fully visually-incorporated live energy with every show, UFOMMAMMUT will now blaze through North American audiences with direct support from Portland’s Usnea for a full month, including a set at this year’s Maryland Deathfest where their Neurot brethren Yob and Neurosis will also be performing, the extensive trek coming to a finale on June 13th in Milwaukee.
Collectively issues the members of UFOMAMMUT on their North American arrival and the start of the tour, “We’re in the States, finally… follow us on the 8700 miles (14000 kms) tour! See you on the road!”
Released by Neurot-founded Neurot Recordings in March, Ecate, the follow-up to UFOMAMMUT’s acclaimed ORO two-part album, takes a confident step forward with the band’s select songcraft, orchestrating atmospheric processions that take the six songs on the album to places as-of-yet uncharted, the only guide being that of Ecate, the three-sided goddess who moves between the realms of the living, the dead, and the gods. Recorded with sound wizard Lorenzo Stecconi, utilizing his mobile studio at SOMS “Il Progresso” in Sarezzano, Italy, the band took their recording techniques to new dimensions on Ecate, creating more upbeat and aggressive measures, capturing them in a live-mic, open-air style which aided in the delivery of one of the band’s most potent and soul-invading works to date.
Watch the creation of UFOMAMMUT’s Ecate LP come together in seven short segments of the recording process through the Malleus Rock Art Labs YouTube channel RIGHT HERE, and Ecate can be streamed in its entirety via Decibel Magazine HERE.
Orders for Ecate including limited edition vinyl, CD, shirt, and bundle deals are available in North America through the Neurot Recordings store HERE and internationally at the band’s own Supernatural Cat records store HERE.
