Tunga Hårdrockarna MASTODON Släpper Nytt Album Och Turnerar Med Metallica 2008-10-31 08:00 CET Tunga hårdrockarna MASTODON släpper nytt album och turnerar med Metallica Atlantabaserade hårdrocksmästarna MASTODON berättar nu om sitt kommande album (Reprise Records) som är planerat att släppas tidigt 2009. Ett sju låtar starkt och 50 minuter långt kraftpaket döpt till CRACK THE SKYE spelades in i Southern Track Studios i Atlanda och mixades/producerades av Brendan O'Brien (Rage Against The Machine, Springsteen, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, m fl). CRACK THE SKYE är uppföljaren till massivt kritikerrosade, episka BLOOD MOUNTAIN (2006) som röstades fram till nr 9 på Rolling Stone Magazines lista över Top 50 Albums of 2007 och Årets Album i Decibel Magazine. I Sverige skrev Linnéa Olsson i SvD att "Mastodon kan uppenbarligen inte göra något fel" och gav albumet 5/6 samtidigt som Dagensskiva.com gav betyget 8/10 och skrev "De tar den gamla hårdrocken och tar den ett steg till på ett förträffligt sätt." Ytterligare utmärkelser kom förra året i form av utnämningen Best Metal Band i Rolling Stone Magazines årliga omröstning samt Best Band On The Planet från Kerrang! Magazine (UK). CRACK THE SKYE innehåller följande låtar: 1. Oblivion 2. Divinations 3. Quintessence 4. The Czar (I) Usurper (II) Escape (III) Martyr (IV) Spiral 5. Ghost of Karelia 6. Crack The Skye 7. The Last Baron Precis som med de föregående albumen kommer konvolutet för nya plattan vara lika modigt och nydanande som musiken inuti. Flera olika design förväntas. Mer detaljer följer snart. Under tiden har MASTODON blivit tillfrågade att öppna för Metallica på kommande Europa-turnén under sommaren 2009. Bekräftade datum: June 14 Hartwall Arena Helsinki, FIN June 15 Hartwall Arena Helsinki, FIN June 17 Spektrum Oslo, NOR June 22 Datch Forum Milan, ITA June 24 Palalottomatica Rome, ITA July 13 Palacio de Deportes Madrid, Spain July 16 Hallenstadion Zurich, SWITZ July 20 Copenhagen Forum Copenhagen, DEN July 22 Copenhagen Forum Copenhagen, DEN July 23 Copenhagen Forum Copenhagen, DEN July 27 Copenhagen Forum Copenhagen, DEN Fler datum följer Som tidigare tillkännagetts är MASTODON ute på en omfattande europaturné mellan 27 oktober och 7 december.

  • Mastodon's New Album Once More 'Round the Sun Debuts
    For Immediate Release: MASTODON’S NEW ALBUM ONCE MORE ’ROUND THE SUN DEBUTS AT NO. 6 ON BILLBOARD CHART - THEIR HIGHEST U.S. CHART DEBUT EVER! THE NEW ALBUM IS ALSO TOP 20 AROUND THE WORLD ABC’S JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE CONFIRMED FOR SEPTEMBER 15TH July 2, 2014 — (Burbank, CA) — Once More ’Round The Sun, the sixth studio album from Mastodon, has debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. This marks their highest chart debut ever. In addition, this album released by Reprise Records on June 24th, has gone Top 10 in most European markets and top 20 in most remaining territories. Once More ’Round The Sun has also entered the Top 10 Album Charts in the U.K. as well where it is currently the No. 1 Rock/Metal album across the nation; yet another milestone for Mastodon. Fans and critics agree, this is the best Mastodon album yet: “The mercurial metal heads have improved on the lean hard-rock pummel of 2011’s The Hunter with lattices of ornate riffs and primal vocals… the band sounds best when taking risks.” – Rolling Stone “Album after album, Mastodon set the pace for modern heavy metal. Their brand of aggression is brainy, technically dazzling and slightly hallucinogenic – metal for people who don’t usually listen to metal. At the same time, the band is balls-out creative. ‘Elegant’ isn’t a term usually associated with neck-tatted, acid-eating heshers but check out Bill Kelliher’s guitar riff verses Brent Hinds’ guitar solo versus Brann Dailor’s double-time drums.

  • Mastodon Emperor of Sand
    MASTODON EMPEROR OF SAND Every living creature must face the will and judgment of time. Ancient Greeks personified time in the form of the titan Kronos, father of Zeus, and Egyptians celebrated Heh as an abstraction of endless years. Famously, William Shakespeare lamented humanity’s immutable fate as “time’s subjects” in Henry IV. GRAMMY® Award-nominated hard rock band Mastodon ponders the nature of time on their eighth full-length album, Emperor of Sand, on Reprise Bros. Records. Threading together the myth of a man sentenced to death in a majestically malevolent desert, the Atlanta, GA quartet—Troy Sanders (bass/vocals), Brent Hinds (guitar/vocals), Bill Kelliher (guitars) and Brann Dailor (drums/vocals), and conjure the grains of a musical and lyrical odyssey slipping quickly through a cosmic hourglass. “Emperor of Sand is like the grim reaper,” admits Dailor. “Sand represents time. If you or anyone you know has ever received a terminal diagnosis, the first thought is about time. Invariably, you ask, ‘How much time is left?’” Since forming back in 2000, Mastodon have certainly made the most of their time. Most recently, their 2014 seventh offering Once More ‘Round The Sun bowed at #6 on the Billboard Top 200, marking their highest chart entry to date and second consecutive Top 10 debut following 2011’s The Hunter. Casting a shadow over pop culture, they received “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nominations in 2007, 2014 and again in 2015. Their music blasted through the Academy® Award-winning comedy The Big Short, animated blockbuster Monsters University, and sci-fi western Jonah Hex starring Josh Brolin—for which the group composed the score.
