The fourth volume in Rocket Recordings'
Collisions
series features another pair of boundary-breaking iconoclasts:
Mamuthones
on side A and
Evil Blizzard
on side B. Mamuthones, noted for their position in the burgeoning Italian occult psychedelic movement, build their sound on circular, repetitive motifs and take their name from ancient death-masked figures known for joining ritualistic processions and haunting the imaginations of the Sardinian locals. In keeping with the darkly celebratory origins of their moniker, this band, formed by ex-
Jennifer Gentle
member
Alessio Gastaldello
, deliver an upbeat and effervescent sound equally damaged by the dark alchemy of early
Can
, the sci-fi swagger of
Chrome
, and the magpie spirit of
Eno
and
Byrne
's
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
.
Evil Blizzard
, the mysterious and ghoulish masked voyagers from a land of nightmare (via Preston, Lancashire), possess a markedly similar psychological makeup, and have been raising eyebrows in the live arena since 2011 with their queasy, grand,
Guignol
-tinged style of repetitive and intense dementia, existing on a psychic wavelength informed by the howling dread of
Metal Box
era
PiL
, the sonic overload of
Hawkwind
, and a taste for a very British type of disquieting absurdity. Their contribution to this disc comprises two versions of "Sacrifice," the previously unreleased powerhouse that remains at the center of their live set. Alongside the sinister riff-monolith itself, a remix by fellow Rocket artists
Teeth of the Sea
beams the track through a prism of electronic horrorcore tension and adds chanted vocal mantras and demented ululations to suitably unsettling and portentous effect.
