Mastodon’s new album, “Crack The Skye”, is just a few couple of week away, but, even so, anticipation grows ever unbearable, especially with the annoyingly awesome teasers the band’s promo company do. Above is pictured the official art work for Crack The Skye, definitely too abstract and packed with symbolism for all of us to fully comprehend. An impaled bear walking over the globe, two twin Tsar genies (two Rasputins, more likely), levitating a globe…
The Atlantian prog metalists of Mastodon are growing ever closer to releasing their latest LP, under the fine production skills of Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine). , which now finally has a title: ‘Crack The Skye.’ I still haven’t had the chance to track down the etymology of the name, but what I know for sure is that it’s gonna be another concept album, this time, however, while the previous three…

I’ve been really psyched about the new Mastodon album, especially after I’ve talked a bit about how the band’s hit the studios this week, with producer Brendan O’Brien. Since then I’ve been listening to Mastodon everyday, doing a re-run of their catalog from Remission, to Leviathan, to their last gem Blood Mountain. So you can imagine how the anticipation is building up for me and the thousands of other Mastodon fans around the world. Anyway…
The progressive metal Atlantians of Mastodon are set to gear up for a new album, as the quartet will soon hit the recording studio this week, next to new producer Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springstee, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Velvet Revolver), in favor of long time collaborator Matt Bayles. A great deal of pressure and expectations are on the band’s shoulders, as Mastodon tries to make a worthy follow-up to their 2006 almost perfect album Blood Mountain….
Indie fans all over the country are set for a meet-up, at this years edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival in the windy city. The three day long fest will take place at the now traditional Union Park of Chicago on Friday, July 18, Saturday, July 19, and Sunday, July 20. There won’t be too many bands (compared to this anyway), just around 40 acts give or take, with the headliners already on display. If…
Fresh from their Pitchfork performance, [tag]Mastodon[/tag] delights us once more with a awesome video for their track “Sleeping Giant”, from 2006’s metal masterpiece “Blood Mountain”. The video is great, to say the least, director Roboshobo perfectly glimpsing the tracks meaning and lyrics. The video is set in a Sci-fi world, most likely in a space science laboratory. A blind humanoid, of apparent great intellectual capabilities, maybe divine, is set intro a chamber by two priests…
This weekend, between 08-10 June 2007, the ’07 Download Festival was held in the traditional location of Donington Park, where as usual there was some hard rocking.
