Italian Doom Giants Ufommamut Celebrate 25th Anniversary with Premiere Performance in Pula

Istrian audience traditionally has an “ear” for stoner and doom, making it an increasingly frequent stop for major and important music tours. This will be the case on August 11th, when the inner courtyard of Rojc hosts one of the most renowned Italian bands ever – one of the most important names of the psychedelic stoner doom metal genre, Ufommamut! This premiere performance in Istria is in celebration of the band’s 25th anniversary, having toured the world and won over heavy sound enthusiasts with their unique, dynamic, and somewhat futuristic approach to musical art.

Doom Psychedelia the Italian Way

Ufommamut is a trio formed in the late nineties. Over the decades, Poia, Urlo, and Vita have combined solid, seriously heavy riffs with unusual psychedelia and almost cosmic elements, bringing something new and highly recognizable to the scene both locally and very quickly globally. After the arrival of the new drummer, Levre, in 2021, work began on a new, tenth full-length release, which was ultimately presented in May of this year. Both critics and the audience welcomed the new album with enthusiasm, as the trio’s artistic journey ventured into unprecedented and unexplored sonic landscapes. They returned from this journey with perhaps their fiercest expression yet and the introduction of fresh elements whose roots range from psych rock to death metal. In addition to the most famous music festivals in Europe, Ufommamut has listed Pula as a stop on this tour, so don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a cross-section of a quarter-century-long and highly commendable career.

An Evening of Unmistakable Mix of Stoner, Doom, and Rock

The evening will also feature performances by Omega Sun and Rifftree! Omega Sun, another powerful trio from neighboring Slovenia, will showcase their interpretation of stoner rock. This promising band, which increasingly captures the attention of enthusiasts, has two albums on the Pula label No Profit Recordings and will dedicate this evening mostly to their latest release “Roadkill,” which offers an unmistakable combination of stoner, rock’n’roll, and doom.

On Sunday, August 11th, you can also listen to Rifftree, an extremely interesting bass-drums duo from Zagreb. As they say, their main focus is on a loud, chaotic, and hypnotizing, psychedelic fuzz experience that they love to share with the audience, and they are coming to Rojc after performing at the Bearstone Festival alongside High on Fire, 1000mods, Colour Haze, and other big names.

Tickets are available at the price of 13 EUR via the CoreEvent system. On the day of the concert, the ticket price at the entrance will be 20 EUR
