EP CD-R NOW AVAILABLE!!!!
e-amil [email protected] for futher order info.

    Return of the Mammoth Volume! We believe that the zombie-theme will really make a comeback next year, so we made an CD-r EP on that very subject. There is also some indierock noodling and a gospel-solo, but let's not get technical.

     "You have the secret of the zombies. Let me have it!" What a great thing to say, and in the 40's no less. Anyhoo, we sampled it, just like we did Day of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead. The first song on the CD-r EP is called "Opera Del Diavolo" and it's a scary glimps into Nicklas' warped nightmare-infested brain. "The pale horde is back!" If you're a zombie freak it makes sense.

     No. two is called "Les Better Terse" which is half French, half American english. The title came to Daniel in a dream, so you know it's good. And it's NOT a syntherziser playing the intro; it's a carton tube and a tuning fork (He was very drunk at the time).

     Track number three is "Demon on my Shoulder - Super Runner IV". When you hear it, it will come to you. If you never heard a song with two basses on it, you will have soon ('cause that's how we did this song). "By the stones I save you." You figure it out. The Manic Mover is still on the loose.

     Fourthly and lastly is "We Squatted" which is NOT a kinky golden shower-soundtrack. It's a rocksong. Celebrating all kinds of things. Happy endings and such. I hate to say this but it's a great song. Wish it was on a major-label-release but this is how it's gotto be.

 So, this piece of plastic is for sale, and it's all yours for 12$ or 10 euros, including everything. Mail us at [email protected] and it's yours. If you're a member of the PayPal family you're in luck. By the way, we also recorded our last ever communal jam, and it pretty much sums up our career. It's called Live in the Studio 2003, and it is also for sale. Ask you local dealer. And don't forget to register to vote.

Hey!
There's a "slight" delay in the demo process, BUT we'll have it ready for you in no time (in a week or two). Just gotta do some mixing and mastering first. Here's a new soundsample!

One down, three to go!
 
The plan is as follows: we're in the process of recording a four-track CDR that we intend to sell independently in order to raise some funds for our upcoming full-lenght album. If we get our act together, the full-lenght will be released on our own - soon to be started - record label.
     The four-tracker is taking shape as we speak, and the working-title for the first song in the bag is. . . well, we haven't decided yet, but it's about ZOMBIES! Again.
     The songs are all new originals, and as soon as the CDR is completed (aprox. late-July) it will be made available on the m.v. website.
     If you can't wait to know how the recordings are coming along, feel free to e-mail us at:

Seeing how there are some of you out there who actually wants to know, here�s a little info on Mammoth Volume, straight from the horse�s mouth. The reason that we are not working on any music together is that two of us live in Gothenburg, studying, while the other half still lives in Lysekil. These two cities are too far apart to allow for any continual writing/recording to be done. We haven�t �broken up��we just haven�t played together for a really long time.
As far as new material is concerned, there isn�t any. But we did record our last rehearsal and have made a makeshift mix of that. The songlist runs as follows: 1) Dervishsong, 2) Helly�s Creek, 3) Horizon, 4) Matador, 5) Noara Dance, 6) Seagull, 7) Shindig, 8) Superrunner, 9) Vipera Berus.
     The second item that might be of interest to you is the �Tour Diary� we videotaped on our last European tour. Basically us acting stupid + a bunch of  songs performed live. Only available on S-VCD. Seeing as how our previous record-label do not intend to pass any money on to us you are welcome to buy  copies of this from us directly. Email or bmail for details.
 
Obviously no tours planned, but if we get to record music together as Mammoth Volume again you�ll be the first ones to know.

Newsflash! Absolutely nothing has happened the last couple of months, basically since we came home from our last european tour. Kalle has moved to Gothenburg to study music and won�t be coming back in a hurry, so it looks like we�re back to being a studio-project once again. Circles. What else? Nicklas is recording/producing a punkish rockband, and Daniel is recording himself, but what will come of this no one knows. J�rgen is about to move to a new apartment. He might be singing while vacuuming the new place, who knows.
    We did get some video-footage of us playing live in Germany at two different clubs, but it�s very lo-fi and "handy-camy" so we�ll see what we can squeeze out of that. Lots of improvs. I know there hasn�t been any studio-report on The Early Years yet, but we might get around to that too.
 
As I said, nothing much important has happened, but we�ll get back to you as soon as it does.

New stuff in the Speakers' Corner section!

At long last we played in our home town of Lysekil in preparation of our european tour. A small club, sure. Not many people there to see us, true. The add in the local paper misspelled our name and got pretty much everything wrong ("See Mamouth Volume for the first and last time!"), but hey - after we shorted out the PA by dropping a beer all over it, a good time was had by all. A definite highlight was when a 89 year old man with cotton sticking out of his ears told us to turn it down "Just a weeensy bit". That was after he slamdanced to "Shindig" with a steaming hot voluptuous lady young enough to be his granddaughter. That got J�rgen a little distracted, and thus some less than accurate lyrics followed. The best part: we�re doing it again tomorrow!

Survey schmurmey...
 
So, stonerrock.com had a survey: best record released in 2001 and it seems we won. Beating Clutch (that�s a little awkward...), Masters of Reality, Desert Sessions and other favs of ours. Can�t help but thinking that there�s been some terrible misunderstanding, as we�re happy just to put out music without anybody noticing it except the very most uncool people around (people like us - no offence). But hey; I can�t say we weren�t excited by the fact that someone actually took the time to fill those forms out and put our name on the top of it.
        Further more, as we�re preparing for our european tour, it�s good to know that there is some kind of interest out there for what we�re doing. Man, it�s gonna be alot of fun playing live abroad again. The last show we did was in Germany with Dozer on this great big stage with a big old rug covering the whole floor, and a bunch of people singing along to songs off of the DemoCD which we�ve only sold from our webpage up untill then (coming soon as an official release The Early Years).
        Back to the all important competition: I remember getting this funny feeling in my stomach when we were signed to The Music Cartel, like "wow, somebody out there really cares", and when I found out about the stonerrock.com vote I got the same kind of feeling. It�s hard to explain how, when you�re in the middle of Nowheretown doing your own thing in a void, and then find out that someone across the Atlantic (or anywhere else) pays close attention to what you�re doing... it�s an abstract thought. Sorry, don�t mean to get mushy on you.
 
Thanks, and see you on tour.
