Remission - Mastodon

Leviathan - Mastodon

concept albums particularly but I ll make an exception for Mastodon - a must for any metal fan, and anyone that enjoys something a bit different. Despite frequent comparisons to Rush and links to Metallica, I think this band and this album sound like nothing else out there. Also includes some stunning cover art synonymous with Mastodon albums. Track Listing: 1. "Blood and Thunder" 2. "I Am Ahab" 3. "Seabeast" 4. "Ísland" 5. "Iron Tusk" 6. "Megalodon" 7. "Naked Burn" 8. "Aqua Dementia" (Feat. Scott Kelly) 9. "Hearts Alive" 10. "Joseph ...

Blood Mountain - Mastodon

Blood Mountain is an excellent album by Mastodon. The name Mastodon has been floating around in my circles for a long time but I ve somehow managed to avoid them until now as far as I was aware.

Blood Mountain - Mastodon

mythical mountain and the challenges he faces. It s all a bit Dungeons and Dragons, but eh, it s better than graveyards. On their first proper album, Remission, Mastodon hadn t really carved out a unique identity yet, so they were content to just display virtuosic skill and technicality. On Leviathan, though, people were expecting something different, and that was what we got. A definite oceanic feel was there, all foamy fury with razor sharp melodic guitar riffs cutting through it all like lightning. Here, the feel is hard to pin down. It s a lot less focused, with a lot of experimenation and messing around. "Bladecatcher" consists of a bizarre ...
