Ufomammut stopped in Ghent with their 25th-anniversary celebration tour in collaboration with VIERNULVIER, Democrazy and Dunk! Records. Huracán was booked as support.
Belgian band Huracán opened the show and brought an intense mix of rock, grunge, and stoner during their performance. Their name, Spanish for ‘hurricane’, lives up to their live performances: what the audience got was nothing less than a sonic storm that didn’t leave you unmoved. From the first song, Huracán set the tone. The band immediately came in with a raw energy that immediately grabbed the attention of the audience. Huracán proved live that they are not just a band, but a force to be reckoned with. Their music, raw and intense, feels even more powerful in a live setting. It is an experience you won’t soon forget, and it tastes like more. If you get the chance to see Huracán live, don’t pass it up. This band brings a stormy, unfiltered energy that takes you away and leaves you full of inspiration and adrenaline
When you go to see a band like Ufomammut live, you know that you don’t just attend a concert. Known for their unique blend of stoner, doom, and psychedelic music, this Italian trio delivers an auditory and visual experience that will put you in a trance. Their performance in Chinastraat, Ghent was no exception and proved why they have been a fixture in the underground metal world for years. From the moment the lights dimmed and the first notes filled the hall, the audience was sucked into an almost ceremonial atmosphere. The heavy riffs and pulsating bass lines not only filled the room, but seemed almost tangible, as if they were undulating through your body. The visuals projected behind the band – a combination of abstract art and cosmic imagery – enhanced the psychedelic immersion. The audience was completely sucked into the experience. There was little movement in the room, not due to lack of enthusiasm, but due to the total focus and fascination that the band evoked. At the end of the set, the applause was deafening, proof of how deeply the music had touched.
Huracán and Ufomammut proved to be an excellent combination. Huracán brought the brutal energy, while Ufomammut took the audience on a cosmic trip. Both bands managed to completely engulf the audience in their own universe, each with their unique style. For fans of heavy music with an experimental and psychedelic slant, this was an evening that reverberates for a long time.
