Expanding Majesty

by Mammatus

supported by

TheEliteExtremophile It’s full of fun, soaring guitar lines, fuzzed-out proggy riffage, and celestial, psychedelic textures. This is a great record to relax and hang out to. The closing “Beams of Light” features some especially fun jamming.

jaxers Holy Wow is this an amazing slab of wax?! Does it rock my world in several fabulous, intersecting ways? Yes. Gentle yet intense rumbling, syncopated, original sonic journeys invite repeated, deeper listening in a genre where frankly there's too much of the same. I saw Lori from Acid King mention that they're playing with these guys, and being a hyooooj AK fan, I checked it out. I'm so sad I missed the first vinyl issues. I'll be waiting for the next pressings.

eldudowski late to this party but glad to be here. sounds to live in. Favorite track: By The Sky.

about

Reclusive Santa Cruz Old Growth giants MAMMATUS return with Expanding Majesty, a masterwork of heavy music 8 years in the making.

A 69 minute magnum opus of kaleidoscopic guitars, soaring analog synths, wall-of-amps fuzz bass and 100ft drums. 4 side-long pieces of cosmic flight and sub-surface thunder take the listener deep into the band's unique vision of this world and beyond.

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that. QNdNas7kQgBG5fi

With all respect due to Nick DiSalvo, who is incredibly talented, the proggy vocals are not what I love the most with Elder. What I love the most, I'll admit, is the incredible synthy, krauty goodness, from the track Sonntag on the previous album to the wonderful delving LP Hirschbrunnen. These instrumental Sessions were a major step in that direction, I think, and I love them dearly for it. Coraxio

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
