UFOMAMMUT

Spring tour has finished and it’s been a blast.
Well, it’s been quite difficult to relate it to “spring” cause it’s been always raining, but a few times we enjoyed the sun.
We want to thank You all another time for the great support and love You showed us.
From Belgium to Germany, from UK to Holland, to Czech to Poland… we really had a great time on the road and we shared so many emotions and vibes with so many of You that we feel so honoured to have  a so marvellous “fanbase” like You are.
Moreover we want to thanks a lot Matte and Bettina at SOL for the great effort in working on this little spring tour, Marcin and all the other guys at Asymmetry fest, all the promoters and bands we shared the stage with, Vasek and all the guys in Praha, Sara and Benny, Lauren, Bianca for helping Urlo with his cold,  Amenra cause it’s always great  to meet them, Throwers for the outstanding gig they played at Asymmetry (and we really enjoyed them!) and Matteo for joining the gang on this tour (it’s been a lot of fun!!!).

We’re announcing other gigs very soon, so please, stay tuned!
Another time: THANK YOU

We’ll be on the road very soon, we’re very excited about the upcoming 8 gigs between April and May.

A new year just started and we’ve  some plans for it.
2012 has been a great time for us, we really have to thanks You so much for all the response on ORO and for the massive support during the live shows.
We’re gonna play a few show here in Italy, then we’ll be on the road with ORO in late April (and gigs will be announced soon) and in September/October.
So, we’ll have lots of time to meet You on the road again.
We’re thinking about what will come next, we’re brainstorming around new music and we’ll put our hands on it soon.
In the meantime we’re gonna meet our friends of I.C.O. for a few days to play a little together in their brand new AMPIRE recording studio.
Maybe something cool will come out, maybe not…  stay tuned!
Anyway, just to say hi to all of You.
More soon!

Tour is over.
It’s been a long and amazing one.
We’ve had a great time on the road, spend a lot of days with a great band like I.C.O. (supporting us till the gig in Poitiers) and with our friend Matteo (helping at merch and giving us wisdom) and we’ve shared a lot of vibes and great nights with YOU all.
We wish to thanks all the people that has helped us to make it happen.
First of all, again, all of You guys and gals that have come to our shows.
You are the reason why we love to be on the road.
We apologize again with all of You for the cancellation of the Bordeaux show, it’s been one of the worst moments of our career as a band:-(
Hope You’ll forgive us and we’ll surely meet soon.

So, first of all thanks a lot to Neurot for believing in Ufomammut.
And thanks to Ciccio, Poia, Urlo and Vita (well… ourselves…) for being so nice and cool as a family for a month, helping each other and sharing everything to make this tour great.
Then, thanks a lot to Matte and Beth at SOL for finding us so many shows, a hug to Esa at Blow Up That Gramophone cause he’s the ONE!
A super thanks to Bjorn for making Oslo happening and to Nikolaj for helping us with Copenaghen.
Thanks to Dave at Future Noise cause he took us to Supersonic Festival and a really really BIG thank You to Andreas (and all the other guys and girls)  for everything he did for us in Portugal and Amplifest.
It’s been so rad!
Then, again, we want to thank a lot our friends I.C.O., it’s been so great to share stage with them, bad ass band!
And Matteo again, it’s been super nice to meet You and without Your help the tour would have been really difficult!
And thanks to all the other bands we shared the stage with (Machete! We really dig them!) and all the friends we met on the road (great to see  our old friend Hendrix R, hang a little with Sara and Benny, then Martin, AmenRa, Mariexx, Ansgar, Horst and play for 3 times with Oxbow!)
We’re pretty sure we’ve forgotten someone, but You know we’re getting old…

Now it’s time for a little rest, a gig in our Country (in Milano) and some projects to develop before next year.
Don’t be too much curious and don’t be sad.
We’ll meet soon again.
THANKS SO MUCH.

We want to apologize with all of You guys and gals for having been forced to cancel our appeareance at the show on the 25th of October at Heretic Club in Bordeaux.
We’ve read the promoter of the venue has written around that the main reason has been we don’t share stage with other bands…
Sounds a little weird, considering how many bands have toured and have shared gigs with us… In the past, during this fall tour and surely in the future.
The main reason we canceled the show (and it’s been a hard decision cause we didn’t want to make You – and the bands we were going to play with – feeling bad) has been the way the promoter acted, not respecting our requests and doing whatever he wanted without asking us anything.
And we felt like he was making a fool of us in a way we could not accept.
So, really sorry again.
Hope to see You around soon.

Our fall european tour will start tomorrow.
I cannot hide we’re totally excited and curious to see Your reaction to the experiencing of ORO live in its entirety.
It’ll be a long long song creating an incredible floating of emotions between You and us.
Looking forward!
Moreover we’ll be supported by the mighty ICO, so we’re pretty sure the shows will be super!
So, see You at one of these gigs, right now, in October:

Finally it’s all out.
ORO is out in its entirety, after Opus Primum, now it’s time for Opus Alter.
Enjoy it and see You on the road in a few days.

Five months after the release of ORO “Opus Primum” release, we are ready for the second part of the ORO series: “Opus Alter”.
The new full-length will see North American release on September 18th, 2012 once again via Neurot Recordings.
And a limited vinyl + dvd  edition will be out for Supernatural Cat.
You can preorder the limited edition HERE for USA and Canada and  HERE for the rest of the World.
A regular edition vinyl will be also released by Supernatural Cat.

As with all previous UFOMAMMUT albums, the concepts behind ORO are expansive and multi-faceted, mutating the Italian palindrome which translates to “gold” with the Latin translation of “I prey.”
ORO explores the concept of knowledge and its power, the magical stream controlled by the human mind to gain control of every single particle of the world surrounding us.
ORO is the alchemical process to transform the human fears into pure essence,into gold.
Although ORO’s two chapters are being released months apart from each other, they must be considered as a single track in which the musical themes and the sounds appear and reappear, mutate and evolve, progressively culminating in the crushing final movement.
ORO is an alchemic laboratory in which substances are flowing, dividing and blending themselves in ten increments from the alembics and stills, culminating into the creation of gold.
Opus Alter will fulfill and widen the perspective of the new work of UFOMAMMUT.
Starting where Opus Primum ended, Opus Alter evolves deeper into devastatingly powerful new territory, where chaos is metamorphosed by cacophonous sound, until the final notes resonate, knowledge is forged and UFOMAMMUT strike gold.

UFOMAMMUT will tour Europe in October to present the entire ORO.
INCOMING CEREBRAL OVERDRIVE will be the mighty support band for most of the gigs!
Check here the dates and stay tuned for more news and updates

Just back from a small summer tour, even if we thought we were in the rain season…
It’s been real fun, we totally loved to share music and emotions with all of You.
It’s been great in Vera (great great venue)!
Then thanks for supporting us under the rain (well, we opened the sky to the sun but it didn’t last that much) in Nijmegen.
Dour festival was amazing, great to meet Red Fang and our friends of AmenRa again, and thanks to the guy throwing spinning stars and to the one doing soap bubbles. It was hypnotic:-)
Then we spent a few days with our beloved friends of Orange Factory, Benny and Sara. And it’s been great and like being at home.
Warsaw was a blast, thanks to our friend Gosia for helping out with the staying in Slubice (we had a Wodka night… cool!)
Dresden was very intimate and thanks to Bianca for remembering of Urlo’s birthday!
Then it was so incredible to see You enjoying us so much at Hell’s pleasure fest.
We felt it could be like The Blues Brothers playing behind a grid… but it’s been cool and You made us feeling at home;-)
And last, Wien was another blast.
So warm and superb crowd.
So, what to say?

THANKS SO MUCH.

Now we’ll have to work on the live shows for the second part of ORO coming out in september, we’ll have a long tour in October.
Still searching some shows to fill and we really hope to find out the ones we’d love to have in Denmark, Sweden and UK.
So, see You soon on the road again.

PS: And now… find the gatecrasher!

PS2: Enjoy some videos

Ladies and gentleman, we’re so excited to announce that the second part of our ORO will see the light on the 14th of September.
After 5 months, c’mon, only 5 months of feedback, Opus Alter is going to fulfill and widen the perspective of the new work of UFOMAMMUT.
Starting where Opus Primum ended, Opus Alter evolves deeper into devastatingly powerful new territory, where chaos is metamorphosed by cacophonous sound, until the final notes resonate, knowledge is forged and UFOMAMMUT strike gold.
Please, enjoy the first movement of the upcoming Opus Alter: OROBORUS

Moreover we’re ready for some summer gigs and we really hope to meet You on the road.
So, please, take Your feet, bicycles, choppers, cars, vans, trains, airplanes, rockets, whatever You’d like to drive, and come to one of our shows, cause we want to fill Your brains with Opus Primum.
We’ll wait for us!
