Mastodon is clearly establishing itself as a major metal band. Proposing both terrifically aggressive and completely atmospheric compositions, and not to mention exhilarating live performances, the band has a very strong personality. Listening to the tracks of The Hunter, the band’s new record that will be out on Roadrunner Records the 26th of september, there’s still this easily recognizable “Mastodon sound”, which is probably what makes an artist special.
In that regard, it’s not surprising to find reading the interview below Troy Sanders (bass/vocals) that takes interests in every form of art and considers the band from Atlanta a hunter that can make the (extra)musical moves he wants. “We’re fans of all styles of music, we’re fans of all sorts of artwork, we’re fans of travelling to all sorts of lands. So yeah, anything could be a possibility in our world” says the musician.
Two years after Crack the Skye, a very good progressive metal-oriented record emphasizing harmonies and moving away from the sludge origins of the band, Mastodon is coming back with The Hunter and its surprising artwork. A proof that the band will keep surprising us with this new album? Anyway, two tracks from The Hunter – “Black Tongue” and “Curl Of The Burl” – are already online, and not to mention: they rock!
Now let Troy Sanders take it away: in the following interview, he tells us more about The Hunter.
