PREMIERE: Hear MAMMOTH’s Enormous New Track “Ceremonial Design”

by | May 12, 2015

Mammoth is an understatement. Gargantuan and colossal are better words to describe the Los Angeles progressive metal trio who have stampeded across Southern California the past few years, making a name for themselves with their hefty roar and grand stage performances.

Wizards of their instruments and beasts at their craft, Mammoth are set to unleash their highly anticipated EP, Innate, a five-track opus powerful enough to revive their woolly brethren out of extinction.

Later this month the band will cross the pond for a mini-tour in Germany in support of the effort. Then they’ll be back in SoCal for a string of hometown shows.

We’re delighted to premiere a new song off the EP — here’s “Ceremonial Design.”

Innate comes out on May 19th. You can preorder it on Bandcamp.

Mammoth tour dates:

May 29 Michelstadt, GER @ Bienenmarkt
May 30 Darmstadt, GER @ Academy for Tone Art
Jun 01 Darmstadt, GER @ Krone
Jun 04 Frankfurt, GER @ Summa Summarum
Jun 06 Ober-Ramstadt, GER @ Stadthalle
Jun 12 Ober-Ramstadt, GER @ Workshop Fethiye Verein
