Rating: THE REVIEW
It's been quite some time since I've told myself to feature the latest work by Ufomammut, dated March 30, 2015. A time that seems so distant.
The title is "Ecate," like the goddess of magic in ancient Greek/Roman religion. A psychopomp deity, which perfectly matches the spirit of the piece.
It was born from the minds of our beloved Urlo, Poia, and Vita, and it is a creature, an object, a mysterious, dark, and loud spirit.
It is not the first time that Ufomammut serve us a real journey in album format on a silver platter: this one is a slowed trip on egg-shaped spaceships that simulate life inside an artificial womb ("Somnium"), ready to endlessly orbit up, down, and around all the planets of our Solar System ("Plouton"). Space roller coasters.
The sound waves of the surrounding environment send the mind into a spin ("Chaosecret"), the synthesizers will trace the path for an uncertain return ("Daemons").
Italian pride.
