Mastodon: Hot Fudge Metal and Cosmonauts


Mastodon - no, not the prehistoric Pleistocene Mammut Americanum - are a magma-loaded metal machine propelled by the forces of - wait for it, not yet - t a l e n t. Engineering songs with guitar layer cakes, fat bass, musically deft and unintrusive drumming, snakey hooks and time machine vocals - think Ozzy circa Paranoid in Divinations and Layne Staley of Alice in Chains in Oblivion. This group of hairy, tattooed and multi-talented Georgians serve up a meat pie of thunder and lightning storytelling slapped with heavy cream.

Bon appetit!
