The sixth album from UFOMAMMUT, and first for Neurosis' Neurot Recordings, ORO was released in two separate parts; Opus Primum came in the Spring of 2012 and was followed by Opus Alter several months after.

As with all previous UFOMAMMUT albums, the concepts behind ORO are expansive and multifaceted, mutating the Italian palindrome which translates to "gold" with the Latin translation of "I prey." ORO explores the concept of knowledge and its power; the magical stream controlled by the human mind to gain control of every single particle of the world surrounding us. ORO is the alchemical process to transform the human fears into pure essence; into gold. Although ORO's two chapters are being released months apart from each other, they must be considered as a single track in which the musical themes and the sounds appear and reappear, mutate and evolve, progressively culminating in the crushing final movement. ORO is an alchemic laboratory in which substances are flowing, dividing and blending themselves in ten increments from the alembics and stills, culminating into the creation of gold.

The ORO album broadesn the already incredible spectrum of tones this amazing trio is capable of. Opus Primum is a bit more ethereal and indirect, while Opus Alter builds and layers into one of the most monolithic pieces of work in the UFOMAMMUT lineage to date. [Neurot Recordings]
