Sydney, Australia’s gargantuan doom/sludge quartet,
Yanomamo, formed in
early 2012 via a shared love of huge riffs, feedback, B-grade
horror movies &
the occult to unleash the grim sounds in their collective
heads.
Members of the band have either done or continue to do time in
bands such
as Birdmouth, Lomera, Rituals of the Oak, Transcending Mortality,
Fattura
Della Morte, Berserkerfoxx & Mother Mars.
Drawing motivation from such titans as Iron Monkey, Church of
Misery,
Eyehategod, Thin Lizzy, Goatsnake & Black Sabbath, the
gargantuan
SLUDGERIDDENDOOM of Yanomamo has been blowing minds since
making
their live debut at Sydney’s legendary Sandringham Hotel in
September 2012.
In October 2012, the band entered the Frank St Studios in Sydney to
record
their debut EP ‘Maggot’. Unleashed in December 2012, the limited
edition,
cassette only release is a raw, forbidding slab described by Hand
of Doom
Radio as - ‘Stunning - pummelling guitar/bass/drums which are so
intertwined that they become a single entity with a brutal and evil
swagger … this 4 track EP
dominates from start to finish’.
The Yanomamo live show is a confronting, crushing experience
that
suffocates the audience with brutal, bottom-end-heavy riffs, volume
&
intensity. The bands energetic performance is fuelled by the
absolute passion
for the music that they deliver. 2012 saw the band share stages
with the likes
of Looking Glass, Clagg, Broozer, Arrowhead, Fear the Setting
Sun,
Agonhymn & The Ruiner as well as playing the prestigious,
revived ‘Devils
Kitchen’ festival.
2013 will see Yanomamo continue to demolish stages & minds
across the
country as well as re-enter the studio.
