This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Italian psychedelic doom/sludge metal trio Ufomammut. May 17, 2024 will see the band release their much-awaited, tenth studio offering »Hidden« via Neurot Recordings/Supernatural Cat Records.

Ufomammut has begun touring in support of »Hidden«, with a long list of tour dates across Europe and the UK through all of May and into June underway, and with much more being plotted. Keep up to date with the current 25 Years Anniversary Tour at the band’s website HERE and stand by for updates. https://www.ufomammut.com/site/

»Hidden« marks a shift in Ufomammut’s musical composition, aiming for a more intense and heavy sound, as they have displayed over the prior two releases. The title, »Hidden«, reflects the concept of the presence of everything in our existence and the ability to bring to light what lies within us. With »Hidden«, the band delves into a sonic journey that traverses vast expanses of space and time. From the crushing heaviness to the hauntingly melodies, from the textured compositions to the otherworldly atmospheres, »Hidden« testifies to the never-ending evolution of Ufomammut and their mastery of creating immersive sonic experiences: a fitting celebration of their 25 years of sonic exploration and experimentation.

Like any good psychedelic trip, the music of Ufomammut has always been inextricably intertwined with visual art, and as always, the artwork, videos, and all visuals/graphics for »Hidden« were created by Malleus Rock Art Lab, the rock/music graphic design collective of which Poia and Urlo are part of with Lu. »Hidden« was recorded at Flat Scenario Studio in Piemonte, Italy, with Lorenzo Stecconi handling the mixing and mastering, and Luca Grossi overseeing vocal tracking.

»Hidden« is released on CD, LP, and digital on May 17th, in North America through Neurosis’ Neurot Recordings, the vinyl pressed on a Silver Nugget variant in a gatefold jacket. In Europe, the band’s Supernatural Cat Records will release it, a standard version on 180-gram Marbled Purple And Black variant, and a limited version of 500 copies on 180-gram Crystal Clear variant crafted by hand using photosensitive colors that are activated by sunlight, bringing the concept of the album to life, with multiple bundles and options.

Rising from the ashes of their prior band Judy Corda, Ufomammut formed in the late 1990s by Poia and Urlo (bass, vocals, effects, synths), together with Vita (drums). With Levre taking over on drums in 2021, the band has undergone a rebirth, culminating in the release of the 2022-released »Fenice« LP, and on Halloween 2023, the »Crookhead« EP.

Over the course of two-and-a-half decades, Ufomammut has developed a unique sound that combines heavy, dynamic riff worship with a deep understanding of psychedelic tradition in music, which has resulted in a cosmic, futuristic, and technicolor sound that fully immerses listeners. They’ve produced a wide spectrum of albums, EPs, live albums, a box set, compilation tracks, and covers – including a track on the »Superunknown Redux« Soundgarden tribute album.

Ufomammut is:
Poia – Guitars
Urlo – Bass, Vocals, FXs and Synths
Levre – Drums
