Mamuthones is a psychedelic rock project from Padua, Italy, founded in 2007 by Alessio Gastaldello (ex-drummer of Jennifer Gentle). Helped by different musicians, over the years he put out several works, including a collaboration with Fabio Orsi released in 2008 on A Silent Place, and the full-length albums "Sator" (2009) and "Mamuthones" (2011), both on Boring Machines.

The last Mamuthones work is "Collisions Vol. 4", a split album with Evil Blizzard and part of the "Collisions" series by English label Rocket Recordings. It explores the ying and yang of an approach whereby overt post-punk and psychedelic influences meld with with esoteric vibrations and irreverent attitude, challenging bands, listener, and label alike in an intimidating and invigorating assault on the senses.

Mamuthones features the 66-year old drummer Maurizio Boldrin, a local legend who since the 1960s played in countless beat and prog groups, including Pino Donaggio’s band, Matteo Polato and Francesco Lovision from the band Slumberwood.
