Review: The Italian psychedelic-sludge trio, Ufomammut, have spent more than twenty years crafting and refining their unique, conceptual blend of all things cosmic and hefty.

On 'Fenice', their ninth full-length and first to feature drummer, Levre, they lean even further into the proggy, space-rock tamperings with layers of ethereal synths and heavily vocoded vocals, helping to elevate this latest concept album to transcendental heights.

Originally conceived as one extended piece before opting to divide the work into six separate movements, Ufomammut return with a towering, complex opus that desires repeat listens in exchange for constant, hallucinatory reward.
