Read this: Mastodon: Every album ranked from worst to best
In other Mastodon news, the quartet will be releasing their new Medium Rarities record in September. Pressed on pink vinyl, the album will include a Flaming Lips cover, a live version of Metallica’s Orion, a guest appearance from Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes, and their awesome recent collaboration with Scott Kelly of Neurosis, Fallen Torches.
Mastodon teased Fallen Torches to Kerrang! back in January last year, with guitarist Bill Kelliher describing it as “a basher” and “brutal” while drummer Brann Dailor said, “It’s as heavy as I’ve heard us in a while.”
