Sometimes synthesis may seem a defect in a genre usually characterized by dilations which try to go beyond human perception of time like cosmic doom is. Yet, thanks to synthesis, Ufomammut – with their 7th full lenght – conceive one of their most relevant, significant, albums. Focused on heavy monolithic riffs – nearer to the stunning, yet dynamic, Melvins’ fragmentations as ever before – the band from Tortona creats a series of boulders in which Vita’ s drumming is absolutely protagonist (and looking at sounds, here they are even heavier than before, though less suffocating and alienating). The irregular groove and variety of the six tracks sustains the psychedelic effect of otherworldly reverbs and space synth, amplifying the result and making this album the third vertex of the triangular career of the italian trio: if Snailking is the mazy in-wrapping of ponderous magma towards psychedlic shores and Lucifer Songs is the ultimate ambient trip, Ecate is the meteor shower missing in their history up to now.
