I haven’t heard this one yet, but Mammoth Storm have a tendency to kick ass, and I’m willing to bet that hasn’t been lost as they head into Alruna, which will serve as their first outing for Argonauta Records. There’s a bit of riff and tone and groove to be sampled in the newly-posted teaser clip for the record, and that’s a welcome-enough way to spend 58 seconds, but, true to form, a bit of a tease. Fine. So we wait.

For those who have money in the account today they know will be gone by the end of June, which is when Alruna is being released, there are preorders available at this moment from the label. I’m a big fan of set it and forget it. You do the thing, then it just shows up. By the time it’s June 28, it’s like a present that shows up in the mail. Hey, look at you, doing something nice for yourself. Self-care is important, or so I’m told.

What were talking about? Oh yeah, riffs. There’ll be some in here, certainly:

MAMMOTH STORM unleash album details + first teaser!

Alruna coming this June on Argonauta Records!

The Swedish doom heavyweights MAMMOTH STORM are back: After the trio has just recently signed a worldwide deal with Argonauta Records, they are set to release their brand new album titled Alruna on June 28th 2019!

Formed in 2012, MAMMOTH STORM left an impressive first stamp with their critically acclaimed debut EP, Rite Of Ascension, followed by numerous shows all over Europe alongside acts such as AHAB and many more. Fornjot, the band’s first full-length album released in 2015 with Napalm Records, gained MAMMOTH STORM the well-deserved, high praise by both fans and critics alike, while pursuing heavy as hell riffs in the name of doom.

Four years later, the band featuring Daniel Arvidsson (also in Draconian) on bass and vocals, drum & organ wizard Emil Ahlman and guitarist Christer Ström return to the scene with their sophomore storm of a mammoth album, Alruna. Says the band: “It feels great to finally be able to present a release date for our second album. It´s a strong album that clearly holds it´s own identity and shows our natural progression as a band. We´re proud of what we´ve achieved and curious to see how the scene will respond to it.”

Named after the mythical plant Mandragora, Alruna is the enigmatic sequel to the highly appreciated debut album Fornjot. The album holds five new songs sprung from the same source as its predecessor but shows a broader range of expression and a somewhat different sound. The production has a rare deadly punch that animates the progression of MAMMOTH STORM into a new earth shaking experience. The deceptive silence has ceased, the storm is approaching!

Today MAMMOTH STORM are not only presenting us their upcoming album artwork and tracklist, but also a first appetizer with a teaser that makes hunger for more: Catch some first album glimpse right HERE!

The tracklist reads as follows:
1. Giants
2. Alruna
3. Shores of the Dead
4. Raven Void
5. Atra Mors

Coming in LP, CD and Digital formats June 28th on Argonauta Records, the album pre-order of MAMMOTH STORM’s Alruna has just started at:

Mammoth Storm, Alruna album teaser

Mammoth Storm, “Giants”

I’ve had the fortune of seeing Mammoth Storm live, and though they were playing as a four-piece at the time, the once-again trio is still led by bassist/vocalist Daniel Arvidsson — also guitarist in Draconian — and they’re newly signed to Argonauta Records for the release of their impending second long-player, Alruna. Their first album, Fornjot, came out in 2015 and was followed by the single “Giants” in 2017. Both of those featured a robed mystic with a Cthulhu mask on their covers, so one imagines Alruna will as well, though I guess it’s always possible they go in a different direction. More pivotal, they crush riffs like beer cans on fratboy foreheads. Argonauta puts out an awful lot of stuff these days, but this one will be a good time.

If you’re feeling up to such things, you can stream “Giants” at the bottom of this post. No solid release date yet for Alruna, so stay tuned for more to come.

Till then, the PR wire:
