http://www.roadburn.com/2012/04/ufommamut-to-stream-oro-opus-primum-in-its-entirety-exclusively-at-roadburn-2-new-video-teasers-availabel-as-well/

Heard it last night, love it. I pre-ordered it so hope to get the CD by mid-next week. Tempted to see them at Hellfest in France. They'll probably come back to the U.S. this summer/fall.

Review - http://www.doommantia.com/2012/03/ufomammut-oro-opus-primum.html

Why did you not tell me about this band? It's like discovering Boredoms all over again... New album is amazing. Is it as good as the rest of their stuff?

Thewhole catalog is wicked. I'd rank the top three

1. Eve
2. Snailking
3. Idolum

I love Ufomammut so much I almost was gonna travel to Europe and see them at Hellfest in France. They'll probably come to the U.S. this fall though. They'd better!

I have three of their albums in my top 100 heavy rock list - http://www.fastnbulbous.com/best-heavy-rock.htm

Once the second installment of Oro comes out this fall, I'll judge both as one double album. Technically it's all supposed to be just one song!

Technically it's all supposed to be just one song!

I know, that is what makes this so crazy to me.

"Shit dude, this song is getting pretty long, I think it might fill up the whole album.

(time goes by)

"Or two whole albums."

Damn it, they played near me last week and i missed it. How good are they live?

The reactions I read to their performances at Roadburn and Desertfest Germany were so enthusiastic I almost considered dropping $1,600 for flight, ticket and other travel expenses to see them at Hellfest on June 16th with Unsane, YOB, The Devil's Blood and Saint Vitus. Go to Hellfest site, there are buses coming from pretty much everywhere in Europe for a good price.

How do you pronounce this band's name? I've been saying U.F.O.-mammut - which I think is wrong.

oo-faux-ma-moo(t)

Right! From their site:

UFO [,ju:ef'ou] abbreviation of U(nidentified) F(lying) O(bject)
MAMMUT ['mæmmoot] italian for mammoth

The entire word "UFOMAMMUT" should be pronounced in the italian way and it sounds something like "oofomammoot"...

well, i just asked myself how it would sound if you said it in a comedy european accent

& 2 audio sets up on dime at the moment

Holy shit, the new one is a crushing monster.

agreed, but bits of it do remind me of:

Would be really great if this Neurot contract led to some reissues of the old stuff.

Lucifer Songs and Snailking just got reissued by the band this spring.

Oh shit, they did? Had no idea! Do you know where you can get them? Looks like Aquarius only has Lucifer Songs and they aren't turning up in some of my other usual haunts.

All That Is Heavy has them both.

Hah, I was just thinking I should check there, thanks.

That was where I used to get all my Ufomammut before the Neurot deal.

Finally heard the new one. It's great! Sounds really different from Snailking, which is the only other one I have.

You are going to have fun filling in the blanks! All the records between Snailking and the new double ORO are good to great. If you like what they do there's not a dud in the catalog.

That's good to know. Do they tour much/ever?

Yeah, they've been to the US a couple of times now.

They tour Europe all the time. They came to the States once or twice about a decade ago; at least that's what Ned and Nate tell me when they want me to be jealous. I have hopes that they might tour here again now that they have a stable record deal.

Xpost

See? There's Ned, right on cue, to make me jealous.

Ha, I can't make you too jealous! While they've appeared, I've yet to catch them myself, sadly.

So I'll hold my real animosity for Nate. :)

Maybe I'll give him an earful when I see him in a few weeks.

Well regardless, if I missed them coming through here I'll be disappointed. I probably did miss it, but they won't get past me next time.

I'm so glad you like them. One of my favorite bands of the past decade.

I'm digging Opus: Alter, but I didn't like Opus: Primum much. Go figure.

It's really one piece and works best that way. Back to back strengthens Primum a lot. I do think Alter is stronger, but some of that comes from completing musical themes began on Primum.

The combination of the two is fantastic and going to reach pretty high on my year-end list. I had a long flight back from California last week which finally gave me the opportunity to play them back to back, loud. It was fantastic.

they make me feel like i should be watching a laser planetarium show

but a heavy one

I did listen to them together in order, but I wasn't grabbed till the Alter songs. Primum for me was just too samey; Alter is more dynamic in contrast, and more interesting to my ears.

since i can't stop thinking about this, i re-read this thread and ha-HA
they won't get past me this time

Yes, I've been literally slavering for this for a decade!

http://fastnbulbous.com/ufomammut-finally-tours-north-america/

Bring $$ for swag, as they have great t-shirts, and also the 15-year retrospective XV DVD and Magickal Mastery tour live album. Many of us will of course already have the new album by then!

Full-length videos from Oro:

Their last shirt. Will almost certainly have a new Malleus Labs creation made especially for this tour.

i hope they have smaller sizes and also a shirt without a naked lady on it

They do like the ladies in their art. Not always naked, but others have them licking planets and kissing skeletons. The one art print I have, Vamp, is a tribute to Theda Bara, one of their more tasteful renderings, though when the lights go off she too turns to a skeleton!

There should be some cool posters too. A recent one:

licking planets

all ail ecate

I'm so stoked to see them at Maryland Deathfest this summer

Been listening to it since last weekend, magnificent as expected!

Ufomammut's 6/5 Eugene show turned into a Yob + Agalloch + Ufomammut show today.
