Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard release new song ‘The Spaceships Of Ezekiel’
MAMMOTH WEED WIZARD BASTARD have released a new song!
The song, The Spaceships Of Ezekiel, is taken from the bands upcoming album, Yn Ol I Annwn, which is Welsh for Return To The Underworld. Yn Ol I Annwn will be released on March 1 via New Heavy Sounds.
Guitarist Paul Michael Davies comments, “The Spaceships Of Ezekiel is based on a book of the same name written in 1974 by Josef F. Blumrich. This guy was a NASA engineer who set out to trash the book ‘Chariot Of the Gods’ by Erik Von Daniken, a book that claimed that ancient astronauts or aliens were mentioned in the Bible. Being an actual rocket scientist, Blumrich set out to disprove these theories but as he was researching the book, he started to come to the conclusion that this shit could have actually happened! – It’s a crazy fucking book but also cool. In it he breaks down the book of Ezekiel in the old testament and even includes actual diagrams of what the spaceships may have looked like. Wes (MWWB 2nd guitar) is a UFO nut so the song had to happen. It also fits in with the theme of the album too.. To us its a slab of mad 70s Sci-Fi literature put through the MWWB Filter.”
