Mamuthones - A Symmetry Of Faith

“Seven shamanic ceremonies which drown rhythms and melodies in a black hole of circular sounds like acid mantras.” Blow Up Magazine

“An unlikely and perfect meet between Matt Elliott and Popol Vuh.” Rumore

Glowing reviews have already started to come in for Mamuthones impressive new album 'From Word To Flesh', which is released on 18 April.

Now, to further wet your appetites we have dropped a second single called 'A Symmetry Of Faith' via all streaming channels:

This is what Alessio from Mamuthones says about the track:
"The lives of sinners are decidedly more interesting than those of pious souls and more often feature a more authentic faith. To support this claim are crazy synths, a fingerpicking guitar and an impossible rhythm full of percussion."

–

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.
