MASTODON

Release Year: 2015
Artist Origin: USA
Style: groovy progressive stoner heavy metal

with unique ideas always in spades, stoner/heavy metal icons from Atlanta take a rather different track and creative approach to music once again [2011] - shorter and less complex songs pay way heavier emphasis on inflaming rhythmics, melodic chord progressions and hook-filled arrangements, while anthemic choruses crown their dare and challenging vision; smart, serious, densely composed, shredding and grooving tracks make the listener feel confident and liberate from conceptual boundaries, much like the band members do with this recording; recent European black vinyl pressing comes with a pro-printed lyric insert
