MAMUTHONES BACK TO LONDON!

Mamuthones return in 2025 with a new album on Rocket Recordings.
'From Word To Flesh' is their first long-player since 2018's 'Fear On The Corner'.
Composed of 7 tracks for almost an hour of music, the album differs from the band's latest works, signalling at the same time an evolution to the sound and a return to the atmospheres of the very first works.
Entirely recorded by the band in several home sessions and "treated and mixed" in the studio by Marco Fasolo with abundant use of reverberation room, tape echoes, analog effects coming from other eras, the album presents dark, esoteric, tense, at times delirious atmospheres.

How does one approach the morning after a party for the end of the world? This is a question which Mamuthones had to ask themselves, in following up their last album for Rocket, 2018's Fear On The Corner. Replete with psychedelic fortitude and beat-driven hedonism, it's an album that summons a kind of ecstatic fatalism, and initially the band were angling to take this approach and atmosphere further, until their more techno inspired direction was waylaid by the forced insularity of the pandemic. "Yes, a lot has happened indeed and I can easily say that the fears that our previous album was centered around all brutally became all too real"reckons Mamuthones mainman Alessio Gastaldello.
Nonetheless, from the aftermath of this uncertain period has risen the still more flourishing realm of From Word To Flesh -a colourful and multi-faceted creation very much befitting the outsider spirit of Rocket's new Black Hole imprint. Drawing on a broad canvas of influences, its more personal approach has heralded a collection of vibrant mantras driven by ritualistic abandon and rich with psychotropic radiance.
