UFOMAMMUT ENTER THE STUDIO TO RECORD THEIR EIGHTH LP; EUROPEAN AND AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES POSTED


The Italian psychedelic power trio UFOMAMMUT are currently in the process of forging their eighth LP, following their heady/heavy 2015 epic for Neurot Recordings, Ecate. The band are knuckling down at Crono Sound Factory in Vimodrone, just north of Milan, the first time recording with their soundlord Ciccio and his comrades of Femore Production. Having spent much of the past year refining their exploratory jam sessions to make them fit for purpose - expect more of their inimitable dense, organic riffing to emerge in 2017, with teasers on the way sooner.

Having just wrapped up a European tour which included dates with their friends in Neurosis and fellow countrymen Grime, UFOMAMMUT have their sights set on Australia and New Zealand, and will be travelling there in early October with the masters of doom tone, Monolord. Those dates are followed by further European shows, which include a performance at this year's Damnation Festival in Leeds on November 5th, alongside Electric Wizard, Enslaved, Cult of Luna, Akercocke and many more, plus a London show.

NEUROSIS’ recent excursion through Europe included sets at major festivals including Brutal Assault, Festa Radio Onda D’Urto, Rock Altitude, Oya, Pukkelpop, Motocultor, Amplifest and more, and saw the band beginning to play material from their impending Fires Within Fires album, which sees release in September. Now, as the band is just returning stateside from their Euro incursion, they announce the first four North American shows in support of the album. November 25th and 26th will see NEUROSIS playing back-to-back shows in Portland, with support from Neurot labelmates YOB and Kowloon Walled City. And just three weeks later, the band will perform in Seattle and Vancouver, BC, December 19th and 20th, respectively, with support from YOB and Sumac.

THE BODY And FULL OF HELL To Kick Off Collaborative North American Tour Tomorrow!

The journey will find both bands executing their sonic deviance as one unit in support of their One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache joint full-length, issued in March through Neurot Recordings, as well as performing new versions of old songs from each of their respective discographies.

One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache came together during last year’s monolithic North American trek which united both bands. Amidst the chaos of tour life, the two groups found time to record together at Machines With Magnets in Providence, Rhode Island. The session eventually culminated into the harrowing sounds found on One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache, which is ultimately an audio reflection of their surroundings and their inability to cope therein. The record includes two bonus tracks as well as a bastardized rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “The Butcher.”

Pitchfork dubs the offering, “…a document of the overwhelming power of depression,” Metal Injection observes, “One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache is unusual, disgusting, and just as harrowing as you’d come to expect from either THE BODY or FULL OF HELL. It’s one of the only truly unhinged albums that has come out in the last several years,” while Decibel issues, “There’s some fucked up chemistry on their collaboration. On tracks like ‘Fleshworks’ and ‘The Little Death,” the bands forge new sounds that couldn’t have happened in any other context. Mostly though, the reinforce each other’s impulses towards abstraction.” New Noise Magazine calls the record “…an absolute assault on your senses that will leave an imprint for years to come…. For maximum experience, listen at full volume in a cold, bare, and unclean room with flickering lights while half naked and in a deranged state.” Adds A.V. Club, “THE BODY and FULL OF HELL are two of the most prolific bands in extreme music. While other groups that release so much material typically lapse into mediocrity at some point, both of these bands are seemingly inexhaustible wells of brilliance. One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache is a perfect example.”

One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache is out now on Neurot Recordings. To order your copy today visit THIS LOCATION.

NEUROSIS: Decibel Magazine Dedicates Entire Issue To Band’s Thirtieth Anniversary And Impending Fires Within Fires LP




Decibel Magazine has unveiled its very special new issue featuring the mighty NEUROSIS on the cover; not as a standard cover feature, but with nearly every page of the new volume dedicated to the band.

Besides the major feature on the band’s upcoming eleventh studio full-length LP, Fires Within Fires, the packed issue also features the very first NEUROSIS inductions to the Decibel Hall Of Fame series -- with an unprecedented three consecutive pieces on the band’s Souls At Zero, Through Silver In Blood, and Times Of Grace albums – as well as commentary on NEUROSIS’ impact from other artists, a special flexi featuring an unreleased demo of “Locust Star,” an interrogation with longtime producer Steve Albini, and much more. This issue is the first of its kind, and it is nearly already sold out. Read more on the NEUROSIS Decibel issue HERE and order copies while they last RIGHT HERE

NEUROSIS REVEAL TWO VERY SPECIAL UK SHOWS TO MARK THEIR 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, AND TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF FIRES WITHIN FIRES RELEASE DATE: 23 SEPT, NEUROT RECORDINGS

Having marked their 30 year milestone with three shows in San Francisco and two shows at the much respected Roadburn Festival, and with a summer of touring across Europe on the horizon, the anticipation for something special in the UK is palpable. It therefore comes with great delight to announce two very special London shows in November this year with thrilling, and unexpected, special guests.

On Monday 7th November, Neurosis will be joined by Earth, and on Tuesday 8th November, they are joined by Discharge and Subhumans. These bands represent perfectly the cross-section of music which Neurosis as a collective deeply admire and relate to, which makes these two shows all the more important in this milestone year. Tickets go on sale today. All hi-res artwork across various platforms can be downloaded here.

Prior to that, on September 23rd, Neurosis take a dominant leap with their eleventh full-length, Fires Within Fires. Three decades in the making, and following 2012's Honor Found In Decay, the album is a testament both to the history and future of Neurosis. In true Ouroborean style, Fires Within Fires gives due to its predecessors while progressing forward into the unfamiliar and formidable. Striking the band's signature balance between light and dark, beauty and repulsion, dense sonic heaviness and reflective space. Fires Within Fires is succinct, raw and deeply soulful, an all-encompassing reminder that transfiguration in sound remains their most commanding and inimitable strength. Our first and only glimpse of the music on this record, prior to release date, is sampled in a new video which we shared last week, here you can also marvel at the exquisite album artwork from the renowned Thomas Hooper...







The journey of their music has found the band relishing the unpredictable, embracing the unknown and exploring the possibility of where the music was capable of taking them. Going beyond the remarkable, Neurosis have become unforgettable. Fires Within Fires is the next powerful step towards a destination that has long been and continues to be the very heart of "becoming" for Neurosis.
