am mai reciclat din ce ascultam mai demult, nu prea mai am timp de explorări. în plus, cu ameninţarea acta, ar fi bine să bag la cap ce ştiu deja, să prind în cuie ca să nu se mai desprindă. nu obişnuiesc să citesc critică muzicală, mă face să mă simt prost, cu toate catalogările alea, etichete, comparaţii, genuri, etc. ştiu că ufo şi greymachine îs acolo, undeva, foreva şi asta ajunge
dar dacă e musai:
The universe pulses with a heartbeat, and its name is Idolum. The latest from psychedelic stoners Ufomammut, this album stomps with all the density of a collapsing black hole while throbbing with the very rhythm of a breathing cosmos. It is a dichotomy of unrelenting heaviness and expansive psychedelia easily explained.
The heaviness stems from within Ufomammut itself, long a staple of the doom metal scene's soul crushing. Though the band has always churned out mind-blowing cuts of plodding destruction, Idolum is a beast apart. Mentally speaking, I would even go so far as to dub this the heaviest album of 2008.
Such accolades are easily explained by the band's penchant for out there soundscapes. Though anchored in some of the most gargantuan riffs possible, Idolum floats away into realms of infinite power, entering vistas of mind-altering shock and awe. The album's title backs this thought, meaning "ghost" and "idea" simultaneously in Latin. Clearly, this is heady stuff.
"Stigma," for example, hums with a trance inducing hypnosis that would make Tool bitterly weep in shame. The next part---a planet shattering series of riffs striking like thunder from the heavens---would blow them apart.
"Stardog" alternatively goes right for the jugular with titanic guitars and walls of stoner rhythms floating in zero gravity. The vocals on this one are meanwhile literally and metaphorically brilliant, glowing with the detached fire of a passing comet.
"Hellectric," meanwhile, exists as stellar wisps of ethereal melodies backed by spiraling tribal percussion. Spooky and cosmic, it feels like exploring a haunted star cruiser lost deep in space. Beyond this, the song batters listeners with a meteor shower of gigantic guitars and skullf*cking rhythms.
etc.
