Due to the experimental nature of the music, being complex fast, intricate, chaotic, and using originality as its weapon of choice, it is a hard ride to get on, so your probably gonna hate it, but for a select few the sonic creations of UMBAH are outstanding and leaves them guessing around every corner. The drum sequencing is frightening, the riffs are highly dissonant and they flow from one to another seemlessly, the overall mood is dark, deep and demented.
Currently unsigned to any labels.
