I'm Starting To Think The Guys In Mastodon Do Drugs – Here's The Official Video For "Dry Bone Valley"

Thrashman — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:33:59 +0000

Hey I ain't judgin'...if them dudes wish to explore the nether-regions of their mind then good on 'em. And far be it from me to encourage anything other than a hellraising lifestyle.

Feist Says Mastodon Cover Won't Be "Cute"

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:43:26 +0000

Mastodon and indie pop goddess Feist announced late last year that they would be partnering in an unusual fashion for the annual independent retail extravaganza known as Record Store Day.

But we have high hopes for the execution.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the video for a song called "Curl of the Burl" would be balls-out trippy but hey...you never know what to expect from Mastodon. Even after seeing the video I still didn't know what the hell a burl was so I Googled it. Turns out it's a jacked up tree.

Thrashman's Metal Pick Of The Week

Thrashman — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 03:00:07 +0000

This week I'm going with Kvelertak's self-titled debut album. The band offers an interesting mix of modern metal, black metal and punk and it works so well for me. The best way I can describe their style is if a band like Baroness or Mastodon were from Norway this is probabl
