Ufomammut

Ufomammut (Italian pronunciation: [ufomamˈmut]) is an Italian psychedelic metal band.

History

Hailing from Italy, Ufomammut is a psychedelic sludge metal trio formed in 1999 in Italy by Poia, Urlo and Vita. The band has cultivated a unique sound by playing lengthy songs built on heavily repeated riffs with droning vocals and a large use of effects and sound manipulation. The band's music is based largely on long sludgy riffs reminiscent of Electric Wizard and a heavy use of psychedelic effects.

Ufomammut released their first album, Godlike Snake, under Beard of Stars Records in 2000. This was followed in 2004 by the release of Snailking, their second full-length release. Snailking was subsequently reissued by Supernatural Cat Records in 2009. In 2007 the band recorded Supernaturals: Record One with Lento. Ufomammut's fourth album, Idolum was released in 2008.

In 2010 the band released Eve, their fifth album. Eve consists of one 45-minute atmospheric track, divided into five distinctive movements; it depicts Eve as a figure reminiscent of both Lucifer (in her rebellion against God) and Prometheus (in bringing knowledge to humanity). At 44:44, the album is similar to Idolum, layered with sludgy heavy riffing and yet also bearing some of the calmer, more reflective passages found on their Lucifer Songs LP.

Sublime (band)

Sublime was an American ska punk / reggae rock band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1988. The band's line-up, unchanged until their breakup, consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell's dalmatian was the mascot of the band. Michael 'Miguel' Happoldt and Marshall Goodman "Ras MG" contributed to and co-wrote several Sublime songs. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996. In 1997, posthumous songs such as "What I Got", "Santeria", "Wrong Way", "Doin' Time", and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" were released to U.S. radio.

Sublime released three studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums (one of which also contains never-before released material), three EPs and one box set. Although their first two albums—40oz. to Freedom (1992) and Robbin' the Hood (1994)—were quite popular in the United States, Sublime did not experience major commercial success until 1996 with their self-titled third album, released two months after Nowell's death, which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, and spawned the single "What I Got", which remains the band's only No. 1 hit single (on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart) in their musical career. As of 2009, the band has sold over 17 million albums worldwide, including about 10 million in the U.S. alone.
