There’s no band quite like UFOMAMMUT. Their performance at NWTF 2018 was one of the most cosmic, engrossing experiences I’ve ever had in music. They’re insurmountably heavy and unbelievably melodic all at the same time, and they can take you out of your body into otherworld realms on the back of their riffs. 2019 marks their 20th anniversary as a band – a massive accomplishment – and you can feel how seamless and organic their creations are when you hear them. Today we’re honoured to be sharing a breathtaking acoustic set filmed on April 5th, 2019, at Gaswerk, Winterthur in Switzerland, filmed by Andreas Weimann/2andi2. They’ve also just announced a special anniversary box set entitled XX set to release on September 9th, 2019, via their record label Supernatural Cat. You can pre-order XX right here, and all the info about what’s included is below. Right now, I have to insist that you watch this gorgeous full set and drift away into the heavens with UFOMAMMUT…
“We thought it could have been great to celebrate our twenty years as a band with something different. We wanted to collect all our music in a single place, but we wanted also to do something that we never did before, so we thought about to play a different version of some songs. The ‘acoustic side’ came out from that and we’re very proud of the result we were able to play in front of our beloved fans during our latest spring tour. It was amazing to share these songs with all the people that are following us since the beginning. This is a present for all of them and also for us, for what we’ve been during these long twenty years.”
To be released on both CD and LP, the XX box set will feature nine UFOMAMMUT albums, all individually housed in sleeves with exclusive cover artworks, created specifically for this release. The box sets will include all eight studio albums; Godlike Snake, Snailking, Lucifer Song, Idolum, Eve, Oro, Ecate, and 8. Additionally, the box will include a new release, titled XX. This new recording features six revisited tracks – “Satan,” “Plouton,” “Lacrimosa,” “Infearnatural,” “Mars,” and “Destroyer – which were re-recorded during the band’s recent European tour. These special box sets will also include a 64-page book with original covers, photos, and lyrics to all songs with an additional poster, backpatch, and sticker.
