Ecate is the title worthy of deities
and of Ufomammut's seventh album, which is due out on 30th
March via Neurot Recordings.
The Italian power trio, known for their almighty heavy capabilities and
psychedelic prowess, have as many discernible similarities as they do
differences to their formative roots. Never pandering to the easy
classification of doom, Ufomammut charge their 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 take 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 travellers), 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.
Watch the first in a series of video trailers for the album, which we shall be
revealing over the course of the next few weeks. These short videos offer a
chance to explore the story behind the recording of the album and the roots of
