Sardinia’s ancient masked rite of mamuthones and issohadores – in pictures
From mid-January until the end of carnival, #mamuthones and #issohadores take to the streets of Mamoiada, in the mountainous heartland of Sardinia. This is a time when herders and farmers across the Mediterranean turn to the power of masks to cast off winter and foster the coming of spring.

Mamuthones – From Word to Flesh [full album]
7 track album
#Mamuthones return with Burn From Inside, a hypnotic plunge into ritualistic rhythms and raw emotion. Trance-like pulses meet abrasive textures, channeling chaos into something strangely luminous. Ancient rites, modern soundscapes—this one lingers. 🔥 #BestNewMusic2025 #Week10 #RocketRecordings
The aftermath of uncertainty can spark the most unexpected creations. For Mamuthones, that meant transforming their signature psychedelic hedonism into something even more ritualistic and intense. Burn From Inside kicks off From Word To Flesh, an album born from isolation but brimming with hypnotic energy and raw introspection.
