Umbilicus Drops Rock EP Ambiguous | Music News

0:00It's September 4th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Music News. Today, Music News powered by AI. Alright, so we've got some news from the heavy music scene. A band called Umbilicus, which is pretty interesting because it features members from some seriously heavy hitters like Cannibal Corpse and D.S.I.D. Is dropping a new EP, it's called Ambiguous, and it's set to drop on November 20th, 2026. They've got five new tracks on there, and from what I'm hearing, it's not what you'd expect from those death metal roots. This EP is their second release, and they're putting it out on vinyl and digital. The first single they put out is a track called Take Off, and it's described as an up-tempo rocker. Think soaring vocals and guitar solos, with a solid rhythm section driving it all forward. It sounds like they're really aiming for a classic hard rock vibe with this one. Paul Maserke, which is C from Cannibal Corpse, who's on drums for Umbilicus, actually said this is pure rock and roll. He made it clear that, if you're expecting it to sound like Cannibal Corpse, you're

The EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by Taylor Nordberg, who also plays guitar in the band, and is known for his work with Dayaside. He handled all that at Smoke & Meers Productions, down in Florida. The band itself is rounded out by Vernon Blake on bass, and Brian Stephenson on vocals, so it's a pretty solid lineup of musicians. So yeah, if you're into classic rock with some serious talent behind it, keep an eye out for Umbiguous by Umbilicus. You can pre-order it now on their bandcamp page. It's definitely a departure from their other projects, and it'll be interesting to see how it's received.
