UMBILICUS Unleashes New EP 'Ambiguous' – A Hard Rock Resurrection

Prepare yourselves, because Florida's own UMBILICUS is back from the depths with their new EP, Ambiguous, set to drop on November 20, 2026, via Listenable Insanity Records. This powerhouse quartet, featuring iconic death metal veterans Paul Mazurkiewicz of CANNIBAL CORPSE fame, Taylor Nordberg of DEICIDE, and the formidable Vernon Blake from NAPALM DEATH, alongside the powerful vocals of Brian Stephenson, has crafted an EP that showcases their diverse musical prowess.

The first taste of this sonic feast comes in the form of the explosive single, Take Off. This track is an adrenaline-fueled rocker that combines soaring melodies and intricate guitar riffs with a rhythm section that churns like an unstoppable freight train. It's a declaration of intent that sets the stage for what fans can expect from the full EP.

Mazurkiewicz himself couldn’t hide his enthusiasm for the new material, stating, "We are back with five new songs that really exemplify the growth of the band! It's exciting to finally unleash these gems upon the universe and we hope everyone has as much fun listening to these sonic beauties as we did creating them.” This is no mere project; it’s a revival of rock 'n' roll passion that is bound to resonate deeply with fans.

The EP will be available on both 12-inch vinyl and digital platforms, ensuring that collectors and casual listeners alike can experience the raw energy UMBILICUS brings to the table. Pre-orders are already live at umbilicusband.bandcamp.com, so don’t sleep on this! The tracklist features five brand new songs: Take Off, Lord Stormbrew, Prelude: Eternity, Winter's Warmth, and Magus Stellarum.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Smoke & Mirrors Productions, this EP is a labor of love from the seasoned musicians. As Paul reflects on the band’s history and rebirth, he reveals how the project started in the early 2000s and how the right conditions have finally come together to bring it back to life. UMBILICUS is not just another band; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of rock music, and they’re ready to reclaim their place in the metal pantheon.
