The other can fall off of a cliff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRVt1clJjgw ^ Still one of my favorite openings to any movie. Brann's King Diamond vocals are spot on. and . never saw or heard that one before. I read a while back that mastodon is going to open a few shows for Soundgarden this summer. The Mars Volta is going to open a few shows too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/06/13/masto...s-addiction-su/ QUOTE There are supergroups, and then there are almost-too-good-to-be-true supergroups. Falling squarely in the latter camp is the currently un-named project that Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds is working on with Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, former Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen and ex-Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery. That's very good news for fans of forward-thinking rock music. Since the members of the project live on opposite sides of the country, progress been a bit slow. "We tried to get together and do an album, but there's been no time," Hinds recently told Noisecreep. "We want to record crazy stuff and Ben is working on that, but it's been hard to get together." Even though the project is officially nameless, Hinds wants to call it Giraffe Tongue "because they look sick." Yes, he's speaking about the actual tongue of a giraffe. We Googled an image of one and they are long, gray and, to borrow a phrase from Hinds, sick! Hinds is also hard at work promoting his Fiend Without a Face and West End Motel projects, as well as recording a new Mastodon album. Mastodon released a few song titles from their forthcoming album, one of which is 'Blasteroid,' which we told Hinds sounds like either a medical condition or a celestial body. "It is a combination of both, wrapped up in a video game," Hinds joked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 just saw this at jam base: Heavy rock innovators Mastodon have revealed the title of their new album plus six new song titles that will appear on their next full-length studio album to be released on Reprise Records later this year. The new LP, The Hunter, will include the tracks: "Curl Of The Burl," "Dry Bone Valley," "Blasteroids," "The Octopus Has No Friends," "All The Heavy Lifting," and "Stargasm." Complete details to be announced soon. The follow-up to 2009's critically embraced Crack The Skye was recorded in the band's hometown of Atlanta as well as in Los Angeles with producer Mike Elizondo. Mastodon is bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist Bill Keliher, and drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor. Beginning tomorrow June 28th, fans can log on to www.adultswim.com/singles to download a rare and previously unreleased song from the Crack The Skye sessions, titled "Deathbound," as part of the ten week 2011 Adult Swim Singles Program.

Probably just for the flow of the album. It sounds more like something from Leviathan or Blood Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
