Steel Mammoth - Atomic Oblivion

Steel Mammoth

(Ektro Records)



Steel Mammoth are a raw eclectic rock act powered by the fusion of punk and metal. What’s most intriguing about this Finnish band is that they’re a steam roller of hybrid styles, but there is still something unique about them. This vocalist adds an absolutely outrageous element to the band. His zany charisma is unique and creates a distinguishable characteristic that listeners will either love or hate. The band’s style and sound has some semblance of style that is reminiscent to the Murder Junkies without the anti hero and scapegoat GG Allin at the helm, but it’s also far more avant garde in perspective. It pitches in and out of terrain that could easily be compared to the Melvins or Voivod, also. I appreciate that Steel Mammoth has implemented a songcraft that is eerily close to the music of the 70s. Atomic Oblivion isn’t just an homage, it really sounds like it came out of time warp. It’s classic vintage odd ball rock music with a heavy metal kick.

Steel Mammoth's Atomic Oblivion was released on August 18th.
