Italy’s Ufomammut has produced some of the greatest atmospheric doom metal in years. Since starting the band 16 years ago, this trio has paid tribute to its most obvious influence, early Pink Floyd, and incorporated an ethereal heaviness not readily found in the genre. Ecate is Ufomammut’s latest six-song release and features many tracks that are much too long for any commercial station. The new album strikes many internal chords on tracks like the pummeling “Plouton” and the ambient track “Revelation,” which recalls moments of Jean-Michel Jarre during his Oxygene era. Uffomammut’s joined this night by Usnea, Lycus and Church—are all headliners in their own right. 2030 P Street, www.ufomammut.com.
