Ultracombo – Season II

 

Ultracombo – Season II
Self-released – 2022
Rock, Alternative, Stoner, Desert
Rated: ****

Yes, we reviewed this awesome little ditty when it appeared back around June of 2022. But this time around we've got a few codes for you all... So, why not give Season II a second time around the block! Cause it definitely deserves it. The first Ultracombo release entitled Season 1 was released some two years ago and Reek of STOOM desperately wanted to write a few words about it back then. He begged and begged and then went on to write a riveting review about it: “Five tracks of fervent Stoner that bring the heat, the sweat and the flies of Sonora to your ears and minds.” Was one of the sentences the good man wrote back then. And it still seems to apply. Cause, the Italian five piece is back with Season II and it trucks further towards the end of the road. And that’s a good place to be, cause it just means that the road ends, and the desert begins! High on fuzz, high on energy and high on something extremely and maddening catchy. First single Follia was of course already out since March but hearing it full force with that crazy synth work after rough and raw opening stomper 12345 makes it even more danceable and exhilarating. And that extra edge of craziness continues on Umanotest, giving it an additional push with some krautrock reminiscent hypnotism. Specchio turns a slightly more normal page, opting for bigger gestures and instead of the pounce of the earlier three a more breezy approach to stoner, desert and alternative rock. A moment of respite perhaps before we go absolutely berserk, bonkers and barmy with closing freak out rocker La Fine! Ending Season II properly and with an absolute cliffhanger, cause we can’t wait to hear more from Ultracombo!

Ultracombo - Season 1

Ultracombo - Season 1

Self Released - September 2019

Stoner, Desert Rock

Rated: ****

The Italian five-piece powerhouse known as Ultracombo plunder the dusts of the desert with their latest release Season 1. High-Intensity at low-frequency is their stock-in-trade, and "The King" opens with growling fuzz and 4/4 stomp, spitting sand and glass from it's hybrid burn-out grooves with the flavours of Kyuss and Truckfighter. "Sparatutto" keeps the fuses lit with more low snarlings and charged plasma undercurrents of driving bass and percussion. The pace intensifies with the fuel-injected "Gravita", revving up a frothing bass frenzy and trademark desert riffs under a guitar/keyboard motif. "Flusso" mellows into a smooth guitar lead-in then blossoms into a hard n heavy, driving juggernaut. closing the album, "Il momento in cui non penso" ushers us out through the same door as the entrance: Low, fuzzy and groovy. Five tracks of fervent Stoner that bring the heat, the sweat and the flies of Sonora to your ears and minds.
