Australian sludge band Yanomamo are pleased to announce that they will release their new album No Sympathy For A Rat this summer. The album will be initially released digitally with a vinyl release shortly afterwards.
Yanomamo formed in late 2011 via a shared love of huge, dirty riffs, feedback & B-grade horror movies to unleash the sounds in their collective heads. The band have toured Australia extensively over the last 9 years playing shows with the likes of Conan (UK), Black Cobra (US), Jucifer (US), Kylesa (US), Monarch (Fra).
After line-up changes which saw Jack Thomas & Scott Tabone join the band on drums & vocals respectively, the band released the full-length album Neither Man nor Beast. The album containing 8 monstrous tracks of pure sludge ridden doom was recorded at Frank St Studios in Sydney & was mastered by Dav Byrne at Iridium Audio in Melbourne. It was released in October 2017 on Iommium Records & is available on vinyl, cd & digital formats.

Recently, the band hit the studio to record their next release entitled No Sympathy for a Rat, which will be released mid-2020. The new music was recorded & mixed by Adrian Griffin & was mastered in New York by the legendary Alan Douches at Westside Mastering. The result is huge & captures the band at their brutal, crushing best. The Yanomamo live show is a crushing experience that suffocates the audience with brutal, bottom-end-heavy riffs, volume & groove.
More information on No Sympathy For A Rat will be revealed in the next week.
Members:
