Mammoth Volume return with a new album that harnesses their absolute fluency with the somehow compatible genres of 70s Progressive Rock and modern Stoner riffage. The result is an absorbing trek through head-nodding grooves, wispy instrumentation and quirky brilliance that’s riveting. Mammoth Volume has made it their brand to go unexpected places and take constant delightful turns pretty much every time we think we’ve got them pegged, and “Raised Up By Witches” is a seamless and exhilarating new trip where they’re basically the only vehicle on the road.
About the album, the band says: “‘Raised Up By Witches’«’ was meant as a themed album but became more of an open field. While still wanting to be respectful of previous fans of the band, we started to tell ourselves that Mammoth Volume is really whatever we record. So we put a thrash song on the album along with a 70’s style epic and some straight-up prog rock. In the end, it turned into something completely different than planned, which is what MV is all about.”
“Raised Up By Witches” will be issued in Limited Galaxy Haze vinyl edition, CD Digipak and digital format on August 23rd, with preorders available now via Blues Funeral Recordings.

Founded in the small town of Lysekil in 1996 when Stoner Rock was new, cool, and catching fire in Sweden, Mammoth Volume differentiated themselves with Jazzy breaks, Proggy passages and unusual melodic phrasings woven seamlessly into bouncing, fuzz-fueled riff Rock.
Between 1998 and 2002, they released “Mammoth Volume,” “Noara Dance” and “A Single Book Of Songs,” three albums that made a massive impact in the early days of the worldwide Heavy Rock community. Many longtime scene denizens still count those records among their all-time favorites, and that early flash seemed to be all the world would get from one of the style’s earliest innovators until the announcement of their reactivation in 2019.
Mammoth Volume’s 2022 return album “The Cursed Who Perform The Larvagod Rites” was lavished with praise from a music media clearly ready for a fresh angle on where Stoner Rock had arrived by its third decade.
