UFOMAMMUT Ecate [CD]

Ecate, the follow-up to UFOMAMMUT’s acclaimed two-part ORO album, takes a confident step forward with the band’s songcraft, orchestrating atmospheric processions that take the six songs on the album to places as-of-yet uncharted, the only guide being that of Ecate, the three-sided goddess who moves between the realms of the living, the dead, and the gods. Recorded with sound wizard Lorenzo Stecconi, utilizing his mobile studio at SOMS “Il Progresso” in Sarezzano, Italy, the band took their recording techniques to new dimensions on Ecate, creating more upbeat and aggressive measures, capturing them in a live-mic, open-air style which aided in the delivery of one of the band’s most potent and soul-invading works to date. Ecate was released in North America by Neurosis-founded Neurot Recordings in conjunction with UFOMAMMUT's Supernatural Cat Records in March 2015, after which the band endured their first-ever North American tour for four weeks in support of the record.
