Amammoth unleash »Among Us« off »Distant Skies And The Ocean Flies« LP!
“There’s enough variation in what Amammoth do around their central purpose in largesse that nothing feels like it’s missing.” — The Obelisk
Sydney’s sludgiest stoner outfit Amammoth has dropped a new single, »Among Us«, from their forthcoming record, »Distant Skies And The Ocean Flies«, to be released via Electric Valley Records on February 21 on three vinyl variants and across digital platforms.
“Our second single »Among Us« is a B-grade psychedelic, sci-fi adventure, kind of like ET on acid,” says Ammamoth about the track.

Pre-order vinyl/merch from the label’s webstore or Bandcamp; USA/North American customers can place their orders through Glory or Death Records.

Sydney’s sludgiest stoner outfit Amammoth is at an all-time high as they prepare for their biggest year yet, with their second full-length album, »Distant Skies And The Ocean Flies«, set for release via Electric Valley Records on 21 March, available in three vinyl variants and across digital platforms.
Amammoth originally emerged in 2016 with a demo called »Inhale«, embarking on a weird journey imbued with trippy sonic sensibilities that belie an intellectually vitriolic lyrical approach, drawing attention to the outmoded power dynamics and illogical creation myths of a civilization still far from reaching its intellectual prime.
Drawing influences from EyeHateGod, Electric Wizard, The Melvins, Black Sabbath, and beyond, Amammoth takes a detour through terrestrial textures and extraterrestrial themes. Their signature sound blurs the boundaries between sedation and stimulation, simultaneously submerging listeners into the distorted depths of the human experience while lifting them up with a distinctly groovy vibe and a tortured, gravelly vocal style that sets fire both in the studio and on stage.
Now, with a host of achievements under their belts – including the release of their debut EP, »Blackwitch« (2019), and their first full-length, »The Fire Above« (2021), as well as a series of frenzied, electrifying live shows – Amammoth returns with their second LP, »Distant Skies And The Ocean Flies«.
While their debut LP, »The Fire Above«, explored the myth of the sun as the creator of life rather than a religious figure and even vilified the privileged class on certain parts, »Distant Skies And The Ocean Flies« plunges deep into the mysteries of the ocean. This new record weaves narratives around hidden aquatic secrets, UFO conspiracy theories, and the notion of alien life lurking within the ocean’s uncharted depths. The songs’ robust, sludgy aggressiveness this time somehow outweighs the drowned-out, interstellar trippy ambition.
