Blending a super heavy rhythm section with some psychedelic synth/keyboard stuff, to my ears Ufomammut take space rock to another planet. Playing down somewhere around drop-B, there is no denying that Ufomammut are stupendously heavy,and that's exactly what it says on the box.Ufomammut translated is meant to mean 'big spaceship', or something like that,and that's essentially what they sound like. If an alien master race was to ever enslave humanity,they'd do it to the soundtrack of Idolum.Essentially flowing as one piece, the satanic fury of the first couple of tracks is metered out by some deeper,more dynamic voids within the album,helped by some interesting use of female vocals. The bands are excellent at building tension and suspense with their music,most notably with the last track, Void/Elephantom.The droning outro may sound completely stupid,but leave your stereo cranked and listen to the whole thing-you may find an evil surprise.Especially if you just tune out for a bit and drift with it.
