[edit] History
Hailing from Italy, Ufomammut released their first album, Godlike Snake under Beard of Stars Records in 2000.[2] This was followed in 2004 by the release of Snailking, their second full length release. Snailking has since been reissued by Supernatural Cat Records in 2009. In 2007 the band recorded Supernaturals: Record One with Lento. Ufomammut's fourth album, Idolum (Latin for ghost/idea) was released in 2008.
In 2010 the band created EVE, the fifth album. EVE – consisting of one 45-minute atmospheric track, divided into five distinct movements – acts as a living homage to the first woman on Earth, and the rebellion to her creator for bringing knowledge to Mankind.
Eve is a new step in the sonic adventure of UFOMAMMUT; another level in the band’s research. Rounding out at an incredibly action-packed 44:44, the album passes through the same massive atmospheres as Idolum, layered with mastodonic riffage as heard on the band’s Snailking release, yet also bears some of the apparition-like passages the band displayed so well on their Lucifer Songs LP, while still formulating a forward-thinking approach to the release.
In ten years the band has played several times around Europe reaching the US West Coast in 2009.
Ufomammut has performed at international music festivals like Roadburn, Hellfest, Asymmetry and has shared the stage with bands such as NEUROSIS, DOWN, AMEN RA, BARONESS, SONS OF OTIS, MOTORPSYCHO and many more.
Ufomammut's live show is supported by the video and graphic art studio Malleus, a rock artist collective.[1][3][4]
