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.
