Biography

With 'Snailking', their second full length release, Ufomammut was worldwide recognized as the creator of a unique brand of psychedelic sludge.

With long songs, droning vocals and massive effects ufomammut is right there along side of bands such as neurosis, combining their monumental riffing attitude with the psychedelia of the more visionary Pink Floyd.

'Lucifer Songs', the last album, opened new and unexpected doors, being the result of a mature and tight-knit band willing to experiment whilst maintaining its dna. the flaming spatial voyage which made "snailking" one of the records of the year in 2004 in many specialist magazines and webzines, remained as their core sound, evolving alongside new soundscapes made up of sinister atmospheres and gloomy sounds of vintage electronics.

Ufomammut is today a powerful wall of sound weaving their intrinsic dream state whilst able to hypnotize and spellbind the listener with obsessive dilatations approaching drone music. the peculiar charm of the sound of ufomammut continues to defy pigeon-holing. as "lucifer songs" has been released, many musical critics defined the band’s sound as the beginning of a whole new kind of music, which mixes doom with psychedelic, trance with extreme, industrial with post-rock and metal.

In 2007 the band has recorded 'Supernaturals: Record One', a telluric monster session together with the label mates Lento: six hypnotic songs that are the prelude to the new album coming in 2008 'Idolum'.

Idolum is a new chapter in the sonic history of Ufomammut, presenting a sensible evolution in the sound and in the structure of the songs: totally dark and oppressive atmospheres, simple and mastodontic song frameworks, a different idea of psychedelic rock.

Idolum is a latin word meaning 'ghost' and 'idea' at the same time, representing the massive but hidden presence as the main concepts of the album.

Ufomammut's live show is supported by the internationally acclaimed video and graphic art of malleus, a rock artists' collective who conjure the entirety of Ufommamut's visual impact.
