CROOKHEAD

Cheers for such a powerfully distorted, dissected sound world! Happy to have a listen to UFOMAMMUT's latest ep "Crookhead'' in late 2023, that perfectly encourages us under another tough situation all over the world. Their heavy- metallic riffs and wonderfully wandering melodic lines are more energetic and more dissonant than usual and drive us into comfort and madness. Sticky, repetitive psychic phrases remind us of high-dimensional probability. From the beginning of 2024 we've got some distressing news but this magnificent ep has come up to us for reassurance and emboldenment.

The first texture of the titled track "Crookhead" sounds quite explosive and bombastic enough to notify us they have an attitude and intention to launch excessive powerful sound storms. A sudden melodic / rhythmic shift to slowdown sounds like another dark cloudy sky would drop to us. Quirky depressive calmness in the middle scene is also significant and meaningful and could make us anticipate our prognosis in the unstable circumstances. However the last spurt drenched in heavy fuzzy muddy freaky insanity is pretty impulsive and impressive.

"Supernova" is, anyway, a brilliant splashing song like a gemstone. Veiled in a dark black atmosphere but their perverse chorus is charming. The latter part consists of slimy effective negative sound masses, which can be called as awesome creations by one of authentic Italian Exp / Post Metallic agents. Listen carefully to their last shout without any breath. "Vibrhate" is a short, settled, and stabilized track filled with downer shoegaze but uplifting aromas. This 3 and half minute claim gives us another definite confidence that we will get enthusiastic energy of 'vibrhancy'. Enjoy such a magnificent quarter an hour produced by UFOMAMMUT.
