Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher has recently spoken about the bands upcoming album. Recording sessions for said album have been taking place with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Deftones,Alice In Chains) as of late with no further details being released.
“I’ve spent a lot of time writing over the last six months, trying to come up with new ideas. Every Mastodon record seems to have a different flavour – we don’t want to keep on releasing the same record over and over again. We’ve got to surprise our fans; we’re always moving and growing.
“My stuff tends to be all over the place, there’s some simple rock grooves going on but there’s also that early, low-tuned heaviness we used on Remission… there’s some really sludgy things going on. There’s a song I wrote that’s low, heavy and insidious.Brann thinks it sounds like Darth Vader’s Imperial March theme.”
In other Mastodon news, a limited edition vinyl reissue of the groups “Call Of The Mastodon” collection is scheduled for release on February 18. Pre-orders for which can be found at this location.
