Info
It's been a quiet few years for Swiss brutalists MUMAKIL,
but 2013 is when all of this changes with a crushing
new album "Flies Will Starve" on the horizon, and a triumphant return
to OBSCENE EXTREME.
The Geneva quartet's crushing 2009 album, "Behold The
Failure", was almost a prophecy having changed
two members since then, and their last OEF appearance in 2009, the guitarist
was forced to play the entire set sitting down due to a broken leg! Suffice to
say MUMAKIL have a lot of pent up energy, so expect their set at OBSCENE
EXTREME 2013 to be an explosive new high for the the band's nearly
10-yearcareer.
Bio
Geneva year 2004, 4 guys
unite their strength to create a new war machine. Jerome (Nostromo, guitars)
and Jeremy (Knut, bass) are motivated in playing together a brutal and
in-your-face grindcore/death-metal. Basically, the main idea is to have fun and
to play without any stress. Thomas (Sumpfucking, vocals) and Seb (Deceit,
drums) join the army and Mumakil create their first songs in June 2004.
In November, Mumakil play their first show in Geneva,
opening for Blockheads (from France) and grindcore heroes Nasum (from Örebro,
Sweden). This concert is a total success. After that, Mumakil record their
first demo in January 2005 in Jeromes home-studio (aka
Terrier 5) in Geneva. From January to March 2006, Mumakil get in Jeromes
studio to record their 1st album : Customized Warfare. 32 tracks of straight,
tight, brutal grindcore. Mumakil released Customized Warfare as their 1st
full-length on Overcome Records in October 2006. After that, they get on tour
with Blockheads, from 19th to 28th October, in France. 2007: Mumakil continue
to tour in France & Switzerland and leave to England for their very first
UK TOUR (March 2007). After that, their label Overcome Records must cease its
activities due to any structural and financial problems. Then Mumakil signs a
deal with the Canadian label Caustic Rhythm (Prodisk) in order to repress
Customized Warfare. Then Mumakil get back in studio to record several new songs
which will appear on 3 new splits : split w/ Misery Index Ruling Class Canceled (on Power-it-up records) split w/ Inhume
Slimewave Series N°6 (on Relapse records) split w/ Blockheads Night of the
grinding dead (Bones Brigade records) Several shows in 2007 and 2008
Mumakil release the second album "Behold the Failure" in the
beginning of 2009 and have lot's of show all over Europe. 2010 Jeremy leave the
band and Mumakil ask to Benjamin (ex-Stumpfucking) to take the bass. Unfortunately
due to persistent wrist troubles Sebastien decided to leave the band too in
2012, Mumakil found one other drummer, Kevin Foley from Benighted! 2013, new
line up, euro tour in march with our buddy from Afgrund and new album (Flies
Will Starve) is released soon
So grind on baby
