Mastodon
Metal, Progressive

Mastodon is a heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. They are usually classified as a heavy metal group, but there have been debates on what specific subgenre they belong to. The Encyclopaedia Metallum classifies them as progressive sludge metal, but this is not widely accepted. Mastodon's style includes heavy (and sometimes quite technical) guitar riffs, complex, jazz-influenced drumming, and long, melodic instrumental interludes reminiscent of Pink Floyd.
