MASTODON To Hit Studio In November
Tuesday, 24th September 2013
Atlanta progressive metal stalwarts MASTODON have issued the following update:
“MASTODON has been busy jamming every day writing and arranging the next studio album. We have quite a few songs and ideas that are taking some time to nail down what we think will make it to the next full-length.
“There will be no more touring this year. We will hit the studio in November to hopefully finish by the end of year.”
Regarding the sound of the new MASTODON music he is pumping out, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds told MTV Hive last year: “A lot of the stuff I’m writing is in open G-minor. I’m playing a lot of slide guitar and just getting really Jimmy Page-y on the place and getting really eerie and RADIOHEAD-ish and very spooky-sounding.”
On the topic of the songwriting process in MASTODON, Hinds said: “There’s never really a shortage of music with MASTODON because all of us are working on something musically. I’m in good company. Just because they might [see me] stand in the middle of the stage or something, people might think this is the leader. He must conduct everything, but we’re all the leaders. We spread the weight around.”
