Italian psychedelic drone metal project Ufommamut have been a very underrated and overlooked band, but manage to keep a strong, dedicated following through their fuzz-heavy albums. Opening with a staticky drone, and closing with an unnerving piano line, Ecate is an album that finds itself firmly rooted in the eerie, using an array of tactics to challenge the listener. From the fuzzy noises and synths that you can feel in the back of your head, to the shouted and murky vocals, to the smoldering and oftentimes groovy riffs, this album is layered with interesting sounds and textures. All of this retains a slightly bluesy edge, especially in songs like "Temple". Though a couple of songs drag a slight bit, this record should be picked up by people who appreciate drone music with experimental tendencies.
