    Ufomammut has a compositional focus and restraint that frames the sonic elements well. An excellent continuation of their recent work.

    Blending gargantuan, rack-stretched riffs with corrupted kosmische synth drones, spectral vocals and unyielding, relentless drums, the alchemical result [Oro: Opus Primus] is the heaviest form of psyche-doom space rock. [Jul 2012, p.85]

    Invasive and unknowably vast, Oro:Opus Primum is an excellent listen if you're looking to be blown apart.

    Italian doom merchants "Mammoth UFO"... can't duplicate the tight encapsulation of 2010 origin story Eve in 51 minutes, although 14-minute lunar landing "Empireum" could power Alien craft Nostromo.
