Reprise

Mastodon is an American heavy metal band based in Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in January 2000, the band consists of members who play guitar, bass, and drums. The band originally included a vocalist who left after recording their first demo.
Known for their unique blend of progressive metal and sludge metal, Mastodon has gained critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase worldwide. With their intricate musicianship and thought-provoking lyrics, they have released several successful albums throughout their career.
Their discography includes acclaimed albums such as "Leviathan," "Crack the Skye," and "Once More 'Round the Sun." Mastodon's live performances are known for their energy and intensity, making them a must-see act for heavy metal enthusiasts.

Solid Yellow/Transparent Green Colored Vinyl. The Atlanta band consists of four guys who look like tattooed auto mechanics, but they sound like they should be wearing capes and spitting fire. Blood Mountain transforms potentially lame self-help bromides about overcoming great obstacles into a sternum-rattling sci-fi journey through a land infested with all manner of beasties, including a cyclops ("Circle Cysquatch"), warrior tree people ("Colony of Birchmen") and some sort of sleeping giant. Underneath all this medieval blood and thunder are actual tunes brimming with roller-coaster riffing ("Bladecatcher" merits an Air Guitar Hall of Fame nomination), lost-in-the-catacombs dreaminess ("Sleeping Giant") and blinding shafts of acoustic-powered star shine ("Pendulous Skin"). Melody matters as much as mayhem, and the treacherous tempo shifts are navigated brilliantly by drummer Brann Dailor, who turns "Capillarian Crest" into a giddy chase through a blinding snowstorm. Yes, sometimes more is better."
