Mamuthones - From Word To Flesh

Mamuthones - From Word To Flesh

Mamuthones return in 2025 with a new album and new sound.

'From Word To Flesh' is their first long-player since 2018's 'Fear On The Corner'. The ltd vinyl release of 'From Word To Flesh' is another instalment Rocket's new 'Black Hole Series'.

Listen to the first track to be revealed from the album, the acid-folk-mantra of 'Burn From Inside':

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. 

This is clear right from the curtain raiser 'Burn From Inside', which beams the emotive approach of the band through the shamanic prism of Coil's Ape Of Naples. From there, hypnotic repetition marries to abstract abrasion (as on 'A Cage Full Of Sins') and mournful laments (‘Before You Leave’) with equal finesse, as redolent of the spiritual zest of Popol Vuh and Ash Ra Tempel as the gnostic folk of Six Organs Of Admittance. Elsewhere 'A Symmetry Of Faith' summons a union of post-punk and psychically charged folk aligned with the recent work of Bristol's Beak, whilst on the fearsome treatise 'Son Of Myself' the band invokes the final speech of Werner Herzog's Aguirre - The Wrath Of God.
