MASTODON

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: USA
Style: groovy progressive stoner heavy metal

fifteen equally strong songs make this recent recording by American four-piece their lengthiest opus ever, other time fully enough for two albums, but with a diversity of heavy prog rockers and abundance of sometimes symmetrically opposing ideas in mind, such a model may better reveal the entire specter of Mastodon world - in fact it is impossible to miss this entity for any other, yet couple of listens to this won't be enough to fully get a grip on the big picture, yet the main aspects are all here once again: infectious refrains, harmonious guitar lines, vocal diversity, often nervously twitching rhythm, calmer balladesque moments, and the fundamental heaviness when needed most; European gatefold sleeve double black 180g vinyl edition comes with a double-sided lyric insert
