Often trippy and mostly vitriolic, Amammoth is a sludge/stoner metal from down under. The
Sydneysiders have been active for a couple of years and already started making waves
locally with their loud, frenzied live shows and 2019’s EP, Blackwitch.
The debut LP, The Fire Above, is based on two different messages. The first
message validates the sun as the creator of life rather than a religion. The second topic
vilifies the privileged class (such as the royal family, politicians, and celebrities) in our
society for their offenses and hegemony.
Sonically, the opus is a scream into the abyss and a sacrifice of the innocents on the altar
of the almighty bong. The snarling stoner/sludgy tunes capture the sensibilities of a shot of
heroin, a comforting fire on a snowy night, a tender, sensual touch from a lover, and a knife
to the throat of enemies.
