Mastodon

[Yppolitia]

Anyone heard them/like them? I have only heard three song, my favourite being Blood and Thunder which is about hunting Moby Dick I think.

[elbassio]

That entire album is about hunting Moby Dick. It's a fantastic idea! What were the other two songs? More off Leviathan?
Edit:300 and counting.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

I love that Leviathan album. Its a classic.

My favourites are Hearts Alive and I Am Ahab!:)

[(LOKI)]

Iron Tusk, I am Ahab.....? yeah I love Mastodon, seem the twice and seeming them a third time.

my email is i_am_ahab@hotmail.co.uk :cool: how cool am I?

[elbassio]

Very! Ive already seen them three times. Nahnahnahnahnah.
Sorry, Ill stop now.

[Mazeppa]

I love that Leviathan album. Its a classic.

My favourites are Hearts Alive and I Am Ahab!:)
Those are really great songs, but I really enjoy listening to Leviathan as a whole.

Also, a thread on Mastodon seems to pop up pretty often but it never really stays for some reason.

[(LOKI)]

Very! Ive already seen them three times. Nahnahnahnahnah.
Sorry, Ill stop now.

I meet the drummer in a toilet, and then the two guitarists at the end of the gig. Maybe this next time I'll meet Troy and complete the set

You win, Ive never met them. Although, the first time my friend went to see them was at some crappy bar in London, and he was sitting next to them and didnt realise till they got up to play. How crap!

[Yppolitia]

Ill download more songs from the Leviathan album then.

[(LOKI)]

awww, this time I will bring a pen and get my ticket signed hopefully. But it was funny when I met the drummer 'cause I walked into the bog and saw him taking a piss and I froze. When I finally got some words out all I said was, "holy sh*t are you Brann Dailor?! dude I saw you at Slayer and you were f*cking awesome, all your music is complete jizz material"
and he was all modest and stuff just saying, "yeah thanks man, I gotta head backstage enjoy the show"
and I did

[Toaster]

I love Mastodon, their old album, Remission is just as good as Leviathan. I hear they're an awesome live act too. It's so great to hear such original and fresh-sounding music coming from such a young band.

[deathscreamingsheep]

They aren't really young in all honesty. But anyway I'm a bit of a fanboy when it comes to Mastodon. I've met all of the band members, but more importantly seen them play live 7 times. Three times after Leviathan (2 Mean Fiddler Shows and at Download) and four times before that in their home of Atlanta as I have relatives up there who took me to see bands from their local scene.

Mastodon as a thread actually pops up a large amount around here but meh...

Great band anyway with a good live show. Plus Brann Dailor brings some awesome drumming to their music.

[Britton]

I've never heard of them...

Don't they already have a thread though?

[elbassio]

I've never heard of them...

Don't they already have a thread though?

Yeah but it keeps on disappearing to the recesses of the archive where the search function will not reach. Since you've never heard them when you get a chance listen to them, because they rule.

[TheSlayer]

Leviathon (spell check) is a good album. I like March of the Fire ants.

[deathscreamingsheep]

^^ March of the Fire Ants isn't on Leviathan....

But meh... I personally prefer Remissions, though Leviathan is also great. I'm not such a big fan of Lifesblood though.

Favourite Mastodon song ever though: Hearts Alive. Especially after they opened with it at their gig.

[King_Of_Terrors]

What genre are they?

[lobsterjohnson]

Whalecore

[BLACKLABEL]

I love mastodon, I have leviathan and remission, "March of the fire ants" i think is the best work they have done, the new album is awsome, but their lyrics are hard to understand,except for the moby dick songs.

[Elnimio]

Good band. Dailor's an amazing drummer.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

Good band. Dailor's an amazing drummer.

They are still called Math-Metal right?

[Elnimio]

They are still called Math-Metal right?


They've got some math metal qualities, but the guitars aren't mathy enough to be called math metal. I'd just call them progressive sludge :p

[GenuineImitation]

I really like this band. I have been meaning to get a few of their cds for sometime. I just havent had the money or time to do so.

[Scuba_Steve]

I love these guys, never heard lifesblood though, anyone care to hook me up?
also, they have a new album of unreleased songs coming out soonish

[THE VILE]

Both albums rock, they kick *** live

[Moses]

/was listening to Leviathan in the car.

[TheSlayer]

Sry i meant Remenission.

[Scuba_Steve]

I have a friend that got to go see them live (opening for Iron Maiden) I woulda went but tickets were super expensive.

He said that the guitar player had a broken leg or something, so he sat down and played, but halfway through the show he got up and just hobbled around on one foot, that's some hXc stuff there:thumb:

[lionelhutz88]

i like what I've heard(leviathan). I should check out their other albums.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I'm really starting to dig them. They are probably one of my favorite bands. My favorite songs are Blood & Thunder, Seabeast, and Megalodon (I love that country sounding solo).

[joe_fresh]

I'm really starting to dig them. They are probably one of my favorite bands. My favorite songs are Blood & Thunder, Seabeast, and Megalodon (I love that country sounding solo).

Yeah, that guitar fill is amazing.

I hear they have a new album coming out in february, anyone else heard anything?

[gillygan]

Edit: ^ i think its like a collection and remaster of all their stuff. Look here http://mastodonrocks.com/v5/index.php



Mastodon are amazing. They kick so much arse. Im so pupmed for the dvd thats coming out. My favorites are joseph merrrick, herats alive, aqua dementia, seabeast, island, crusher destroyer, march of the fire ants, ole nessie, and workhorse. You can hear influence of pelican in there music too. I havnt heard lifesblood yet though. And yes brann dailor is really good.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I haven't heard enough of them to know anything. I hear they are "Whalecore"

[joe_fresh]

Edit: ^ i think its like a collection and remaster of all their stuff. Look here http://mastodonrocks.com/v5/index.php

Thats pretty disappointing, I was under the impression that its would be a new album.

[gillygan]

I agreee that would be better, but the dvd makes up for it.



Hinds and kellhiler's (sp) guitars were sexy. When he had the silverburst flying v. The silverburst lp is sploogtasticall aswell.

[naboo]

Mastodon are great. I've seen them live twice and they've blown me away both times. Iron Tusk is one of my favorite live songs ever. So much energy.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Where did you find that? That is awesome:thumb:

[Moses]

I haven't heard enough of them to know anything. I hear they are "Whalecore"
Then you haven't heard enough. And Whalecore is what they jokingly called themselves on FUSEtv.

I think they deserved a wayyyy longer set on Ozzfest because As I Lay Dying bored the **** outta me and KSE wasn't as good as Mastodon.

[gillygan]

Where did you find that? That is awesome:thumb:


ya it pretty sick. It was on mastodon's website. You cant get it anymore though : /

[deathscreamingsheep]

I'm really starting to dig them. They are probably one of my favorite bands. My favorite songs are Blood & Thunder, Seabeast, and Megalodon (I love that country sounding solo).

Who doesn't love that fill? Especially the way it smashes into the metal riff straight after.

[Dimebag Johnny Patton]

One of my favorite bands at the moment. Love Dailors drumming and have you heard this, they've signed to Warner! Thats a big f-in step for them.

[gillygan]

Signed to warner! Wowzerz. I hope thhey dont get gayed up though.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I read in early in January that the new album is going to be called Blood Mountain and its estimated release date is in June.:thumb: I'll try and find the article. They said it was going to be more progressive.

EDIT
Here are some of the links:
http://www.stonerrock.com/news/news.asp?NewsID=5384
http://www.ambushthenight.com/featuresv.php?id=13 (about half way down the page).

Its not June but summer.

[Scuba_Steve]

wow, so happy this thread got bumped.

I was listening to remission today at school and it blew me away, yet again. And it was one of the times where I had actually listened to a growly/screaming singer and thought, wow he has a pretty good voice.


Can't wait for the new album though.

[YDload]

Who doesn't love that fill? Especially the way it smashes into the metal riff straight after.

That's the best song on the album, if only for that moment. Proper road protocol is to slow down your vehicle when the little fill comes in, then step on the accelerator once the song goes into overdrive. Someday I'm going to be pulled over for speeding while listening to Megalodon, but I will have no regrets \m/

So yeah, Leviathan is a great album. Mastodon is one of the few metal bands who can evoke imagery with their musicianship (beyond just aggression or anger). I think it comes from Dailor's drumming; his rolling fills and cymbal crashes really evoke a swashbuckling imagery to go along with the lyrics. The vocals are mixed kinda low, instead the guitars are the loudest. As it should be in thrash metal :cool:

[Mr. Ron]

Don't like them.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

My two favorite songs by them are definately Hearts Alive and Trainwreck. They are both so powerful and they don't really feel like they are as long as they are.

[manuscriptreplica]

How goods the song 'Workhorse'

The only problem i have with them is their terrible song names... 'mother puncher'?

[gillygan]

What a bump, I hope this gets resurrected. (sp?)

I read in early in January that the new album is going to be called Blood Mountain and its estimated release date is in June. I'll try and find the article. They said it was going to be more progressive.

Awsome! Damn ive been listening to Remission so Much. I love Trilobite, Trainwreck, Mother Puncher, and Elephant man. All incredibley amazing. My favorite song of Leviathan or my favorite song by them in general is Hearts Alive. I love it when the build up just breaks down and goes into that monster riff...


im gonna shi t my pants when i get the new dvd and in June when that record comes out :)


Don't like them.

Great contribution :rolleyes:

[YDload]

The new album will be called Blood Mountain?! They always pick the best names, and I expect the music to rock no less.

[penelope weird hands]

Woohoo!
I was wondering whether or not there has been a Mastodon thread.
Both albums kick the shiznit out of me.
Too hard to pick which I like more.

Their drummer owns me.(is it Brann Dailor?)
How many rolls will that guy do in any song!?
And yeah, as quite afew have said, Hearts Alive is probably my fave song.

Their song names make me giggle like a deranged schoolgirl.
"Mother Puncher", "Sea Beast", "Where Strides The Behemoth?", "Mastodon", "Crusher Destroyer", "Aqua Dementia" etc.

Just makes you know that they will rock HARD.
And that, they do.

Quality band.

[Benzum]

Don't like them.

So why post?

I've seen them live once, and they actually stole the show, the sound of the bass alone was enough to merit a decent set, honestly. Their albums though, I can never listen to for that long, they don't keep my attention, but they play some pretty good riffs, but, I honestly can't see why this band is so whored atm, nothing special, but a decent listen.

[Quiksilver26]

first time that i ever heard them was when they opened up for maiden. my ****, were they good. also got a free cd at that show with a few of their songs, along with avenged sevenfold :lol:.

[Sleepy]

Hah, I love Mastodon, they definitely have a sense of humor.

WHALECORE!!!

Bwahahaha.

And I love the country fill on Megalodon - that is ingenious.

[Scuba_Steve]

first time that i ever heard them was when they opened up for maiden. my ****, were they good. also got a free cd at that show with a few of their songs, along with avenged sevenfold :lol:.


yeah, i was surprised they were opening for maiden. I can't see many of the older diehard maiden/priest metal fans liking mastodon.

[Sleepy]

Really?

They have a lot of Priest influence in their music. Just ignore the vocals, and you'll see it.

[Scuba_Steve]

Really?

They have a lot of Priest influence in their music. Just ignore the vocals, and you'll see it.


yeah, but then the vocals come in and piss off the elitists that don't like dirty vocals.

There was this kid in my class that went to see maiden when mastodon opened and one day he asked what I was listening to and I said "mastodon" and he was like "how can you like that, it's not even music if you can't understand what they're saying." and I know he's not the only stupid kid that thinks like that.

[gillygan]

"how can you like that, it's not even music if you can't understand what they're saying."

Thats such a dumb statement. I hate that and "rap is gay its not music."

When Brent Hinds was a kid he was way into blues and slide and stuff. You can definatley tell too.

[penelope weird hands]

... kid in my class "how can you like that, it's not even music if you can't understand what they're saying."

hahahaha.
Fvck him.
He obviously hasn't opened his pineal gland (not a pen0r reference) to music.
*bordering on elitism, but those fvcking morons who think the-.. I better stop*
Thats such a dumb statement. I hate that and "rap is gay its not music."

I couldn't agree more.
I don't listen to any Rap.. but I sure as fvck accept it as music.. and the Rap vocalists as vocalists. They are brilliant.

Just listen to those featured on Prefuse 73 and DJ Shadow.

[Sleepy]

yeah, but then the vocals come in and piss off the elitists that don't like dirty vocals.

Pardon me, but I am an elitist - and a spelling Nazi. I like music that is ingenuitive and original. "Whalecore" is definitely both.

"rap is gay its not music."

I think most people say that because of the impression they get from all the hip-hop/rap you hear on the radio. That stuff is absolutely horrendous music.

Just listen to DJ Shadow.

DJ Shadow is awesome.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Was it really over half a year since I saw them in Mean Fiddler London opening up with Heart's Alive? Bloody hell.

I'm full of anticipation for the next album. Apparently it's going to be their 'symphony' album where everything flows into one massive pice of music. Sounds interesting if they can pull it off. I have every confidence they will.

[Iron Bars]

Whalecore? Another new genre?

I like Mastodon alot but I just call them Heavy metal with harsh vocals or something like that.

Favorite song: Blood and thunder or Trainwreck.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Whalecore's just a joke genre. Mastodon are great because they're one of the hardest bands to classify- just heavy ****ing metal.

[Iron Bars]

Ok than I get I think. Their a bit hard to classify yeah, but since its band making new genres every day its hard to find what is joke and what not.

[Bartender]

Even when it's whalecore?

I like them, anyway, but nowhere near as much as a lot of others do.

[Futuro]

I like Brann Dailors playing. :lol: He basically solos through songs. Cant wait for the new album.

[Iron Bars]

Even when it's whalecore?

I like them, anyway, but nowhere near as much as a lot of others do.

After hearning someone explain what the difference was between Death-metal and Deathcore I kinda stopped thinking about new -core genres.

[Futuro]

You have no idea how much I want to know the difference.

I personally could care less about genres. That happened after I heard Gordian Knot.

[Crysiss]

Hah, I love Mastodon, they definitely have a sense of humor.

WHALECORE!!!

Bwahahaha.

And I love the country fill on Megalodon - that is ingenious.

I just had to laugh at that lol.

Here i was rockin' out, that outta nowhere comes this country fill. Then the riff after that. damn.

We really need that smiley when its doing the devil horns and head banging lol

[Scuba_Steve]

Pardon me, but I am an elitist - and a spelling Nazi. I like music that is ingenuitive and original. "Whalecore" is definitely both.



I'm not sure how I offended you, I was just pointing out that some elitists think that way, and IMO being an elitist isn't good.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

We really need that smiley when its doing the devil horns and head banging lol
That is awesome. That would be amazin'. I was listening to trainwreck today and everytime I listen to that album, never mind that song, I love it more and more.:thumb:

[Sleepy]

I'm not sure how I offended you, I was just pointing out that some elitists think that way, and IMO being an elitist isn't good.

You didn't offend me, don't worry. I do know that being an elitist isn't good, but it's a personality trait of mine...so why try and smother it?

[omgwtfboogie]

Whalecore is freaking stupid.

It's metal.

It's worse than dentistry metal or whatever it was.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Whalecore is freaking stupid.

It's metal.

It's worse than dentistry metal or whatever it was.
What is dentistry metal? Sounds pretty lame.

[omgwtfboogie]

What is dentistry metal? Sounds pretty lame.
It was another genre made specifically for a band, just as whalecore was.

[Sleepy]

Whalecore is freaking stupid.

It's metal.

It's worse than dentistry metal or whatever it was.

Wisen up...YOU are freaking stupid. "Whalecore" was a joke, not a serious classification. What's this whole Dentristy Metal thing? I hadn't heard of it before.

[Mr. Ron]

So why post?

I've seen them live once, and they actually stole the show, the sound of the bass alone was enough to merit a decent set, honestly. Their albums though, I can never listen to for that long, they don't keep my attention, but they play some pretty good riffs, but, I honestly can't see why this band is so whored atm, nothing special, but a decent listen.
The thread asked for my opinion, so I gave it to you.

I just don't like the vocals that much and the guitars could be better. Just my 2 cents.

[omgwtfboogie]

Wisen up...YOU are freaking stupid. "Whalecore" was a joke, not a serious classification. What's this whole Dentristy Metal thing? I hadn't heard of it before.
It's not just a joke. They're actually known as whalecore. "Freaking stupid"..

[YDload]

It's not just a joke. They're actually known as whalecore. "Freaking stupid"..

No, it IS a joke and you don't get it. An objective way to classify Mastodon would be to call them thrash metal, although apparently they are moving into progressive territory.

[gillygan]

The thread asked for my opinion, so I gave it to you.

I just don't like the vocals that much and the guitars could be better. Just my 2 cents.

And you didnt give reasons to back up your statement before and you just did it again.

[Scuba_Steve]

You didn't offend me, don't worry. I do know that being an elitist isn't good, but it's a personality trait of mine...so why try and smother it?


ah, okay I just thought because of the pardon me part I offended you in some way.

Anyway, is the dinosaur sample on the start of remission taken from jurassic park? cause it sounds ALOT like the Trex

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I'm about 99.99% sure it's from Jurrasic Park. Thats an interesting way to open a CD. I think it fits the sound well, big and angry.

/ hopes he knows what he's talking about

[Moses]

No, it IS a joke and you don't get it. An objective way to classify Mastodon would be to call them thrash metal, although apparently they are moving into progressive territory.
Whoa... I thought I went far calling Lamb of God nu-thrash... Mastodon isn't thrash at all, more like sludge/groove metal.

I have both Remission and Leviathan and love them equally. Usually I post in a Mastodon thread right away but they never make it past a week or two.

[Double Bass Jim]

Brann has some nice chops, I dig em.

[manuscriptreplica]

Whoa... I thought I went far calling Lamb of God nu-thrash... Mastodon isn't thrash at all, more like sludge/groove metal.


Did you get that off metal-archives? there is no way this band can be labelled 'sludge'

[Futuro]

Brann has some nice chops, I dig em.
:cool: I didn't think you would be a fan Jim.

[Double Bass Jim]

Actually yea, when I first heard em brann stood out the most. I like the "flying off the rails" approach he takes to the drumkit. It always sounds like its gonna fall apart at any second but he keeps it together.

[Moses]

Did you get that off metal-archives? there is no way this band can be labelled 'sludge'
That's what I hear when I listen to it is sludge.

[manuscriptreplica]

You need to hear bands like eyehategod, then you'll know what sludge is

[Moses]

Eyehategod sucks.

/grain of salt given

Actually now that I think about it, I don't really like Eyehategod at all. Mastodon sounds like progressive sludge or somthing like that. If not what are they?

[lobsterjohnson]

ive heard em called prog/sludge and noise metal
and didnt eyehategod start the whole southern sludge thing

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Who cares what genre they are? As long as they're still making good songs is all that matters to me.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Bump

Seriously, we need this thread going again.

[gillygan]

Yay for this thread being retreived.

Listen to the song TrainWreck. The part at 0:40 is soo awsome. when that guitar comes in with that awsome riff. I could hear that over and over again. And then right at 0:59 is feraking awsome as well. That lick will stick in my head all day sometimes.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

That is probably one of the best guitar riffs EVER. That solo is amazing and actually pretty easy to play. :thumb:

[gillygan]

Hehe, I wouldnt say ever, but it is freaking awsome. The last 4 songs on that cd are amazing.


/is bored, breaks down

The beggining of trampled Under Hoof is awsome. It just grabs you right away. And then at 0:23 it goes super brutal and almost makes me laugh. So awsome.

Trilobite is awsome too. It has that super awsome slow riff that builds and then at 0:43 it explodes and is so freaking awsome.

Mother Puncher comes in with that freaking huge funky riff, and gos on with it for a while. The whole song shifts and moves and is soo sick.

Elephant man is an awsome instrumental song. It starts with the sound of wind and this winding lick type thing, and then at 0:43 it comes into that crazy cord progression. The solo at 2:28 is so freakin awsome. So is the solo at 3:40. Then at the end its silent for a minute. And then the best secret song comes in:just loud white noise for a little while.

Boy that was deep :p Dont get me started on Hearts Alive...

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Hearts Alive would take up double this thread. :lol:
Thats probably my fav Mastodon song.

EDIT - Finally!!!! my 1,000 post :chug:

[penelope weird hands]

I still can't get over Brann Dailor.
Just chucked on Remission and from the moment it begins he starts to pwn.
That man is amazing.

EDIT: Congrats, Mambuto_O'Mally ;]

[deathscreamingsheep]

Hearts Alive would take up double this thread. :lol:
Thats probably my fav Mastodon song.

EDIT - Finally!!!! my 1,000 post :chug:

I ****ing love Heart's Alive. But currently I've been listening to a bit of the old favourite Aqua Dementia.

[penelope weird hands]

... currently I've been listening to a bit of the old favourite Aqua Dementia.

Fvck yeah, awesome song.
The scream at the end is insane.

EDIT: Good to see you're a Family Guy fan aswell. ;}

[Thor]

I'm at school right now and I actually just put in Leviathan to listen to. Oh, what a great album this is.

[SimonCore]

^ Remenission is better.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Penelope Wierd Hands: Hell yeah, season 1 ftw though.

Anyway, I'm psyched for the next album now. It's apparently going to be out this year some time so... yeah... Blood Mountain or whatever it's gonna be called.

Any news on what it's going to include?

[SimonCore]

Hopefully new album means another tour!:amaze:

[YDload]

So those guest vocals on Aqua Dementia, would they be the death metal-like vocals in the verses at the beginning?

[sonicst0rm]

Whalecore

haha yeah, that's probably what i would use to describe them.. but never actually thought about it in words like that haha

[FlyingPaul_83]

Leviathan is such a great cd. Remission is also great, but doesnt have the fullness of leviathan imo. I used hate seabeast because of the intro, but now its on of my favortie songs from that album.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

So those guest vocals on Aqua Dementia, would they be the death metal-like vocals in the verses at the beginning?
I don't think that they are guest vocals. You do know that Brent Hinds does vocals too, right?

[YDload]

Yeah but I just figured he did the "whiny" ones in Seabeast and Naked Burn, because those are the ones that seem to make the least sense in terms of the rest of their songs. I just know Troy does the vocals on Blood and Thunder, as well as Megalodon, so that's the "default" voice I use for listening for guest singers.

[Thor]

Hey does anyone have Call of the Mastodon? If so, how is it?

[gillygan]

Aqau Dementia is so feckin awsome.

My favorite part of Hearts Alive is when it builds up and then right at 2:50 it just brakes down.

Brann Dailor is so good.

[Thor]

Aqau Dementia is so feckin awsome.

My favorite part of Hearts Alive is when it builds up and then right at 2:50 it just brakes down.

Brann Dailor is so good.
Hearts Alive is a musical orgasm.

And yes, Brann is one of my personal favorite drummers.

I just realized today how much *** Mastodon really kick.

[gillygan]

I would say they are one of my favorite bands.

Your new avatar is face Mambuto_O'Mally.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Thanks. The name matches up really well on both CDs.

Anyway I read on their official web site they did a cover of Orion for a Metallica tribute album. Its going to be ****ing awesome. I can't wait to hear it. :thumb:

[deathscreamingsheep]

Safe. Their previous cover efforts I've heard have been great i.e. the Thin Lizzy cover and the Melvins cover.

[Thor]

Thanks. The name matches up really well on both CDs.

Same here. I haven't heard their other covers though. Where can I get them?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

So I ordered the special edition version of Leviathan. :thumb: It's going to take a while though :upset: My burned version will have to do for a while.

[SimonCore]

Thanks. The name matches up really well on both CDs.

Where are the covers?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I don't think they've been released yet.

[metal_related_aneurysm]

Hooray! I got the Leviathan special edition CD/Live Audio DVD set!
I nearly jizzed my pants.

These guys are definitely my favourite band. When I get the cash together I'm buying Remission, Lifesblood (if I can find it) and the Workhorse Chronicles.

And I sure hope they come out to AUS sometime soon.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

mastadon is pretty cool. i cant wait to see them with slayer LoG and CoB

[Scuba_Steve]

are there any canadian dates for that tour?

[I'm Charming]

Didn't they come out with a new album?

I have the one with Blood and Thunder and Iron Tusk on it and I love it.

[metalswimmer]

i believe they have a new DVD, as well as a re release of older material called "call of the mastodon"

[DanD]

I believe that they are supposed be releasing a new album sometime this year, though.

[metalswimmer]

yummy-----------leviathan is going to be hard to top though

[gojira_from_mars_tosirius]

remission is a metal masterpiece.

[I'm Charming]

yummy-----------leviathan is going to be hard to top though

Iron Tusk & Blood And Thunder are two of my favorite songs. :thumb:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

are there any canadian dates for that tour?
No.:angry: They are coming to Seattle (for those people in B.C.) and Detroit (for those in S. Ontario).

[SimonCore]

They're doing the Unholly Alliance tour again w00t. Can't wait till it hits Europe.

[Neoteric]

I've only heard Leviathan, it's okay but ground-breaking though.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Iron Tusk & Blood And Thunder are two of my favorite songs. :thumb:
yeah me too. iron tusk is on tony hawks american wasteland video game. i only have the game play that song cuz all the others are "punk" bands (fall out boy, MCR) and theres also rap so i just make it play iron tusk. it sucks to see that theres only that one metal song. on the previous TH game black label from LoG was on there

[deathscreamingsheep]

Nah... it's gotta be Hearts Alive and Aqua Dementia.

Anyway, my band attempted a couple of Mastodon covers. Unfortunately our lack of beards and general big masculineness pretty much made them fairly unconvincing.

[YDload]

My favorite Leviathan song is Megalodon. I'm listening to it right now and it rules. Love the guitar break (you know which one I mean), but I'm a bass player so it's also challenging to play along to the rest of the song.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

So I picked up the Chronicles DVD yesterday. It was cheap ($13 CDN) and it is amazing. There is so much on there, and it is funny as hell. Anyway. I noticed it was called "The Early Years 2000-2005," so I was thinking, 'I wonder if they are going to release more in the future and it becomes a series?' What are your thoughts on that?

[Scuba_Steve]

No.:angry: They are coming to Seattle (for those people in B.C.) and Detroit (for those in S. Ontario).
:angry:


Why don't any of the good tours come up to canada?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I guess they don't like us???

[gillygan]

yummy-----------Leviathan or Remmison is going to be hard to top though


fix'd.

I was hoping this would get bumped, the search never works for me.

I just remembered about the dvd. I must go get that now!

[National chaos sam]

Remmsision is so underated, i love some of the songs of that album. Mother Puncher never comes off of my MP3. Anyone hear these guys won best underground award at Metal hammer golden gods awards. Deserved it.

[Phototropic]

Awesome band, great players, all have great chops, intelligent songwriting going on there, the drummer is awesome and all

Aqua Dementia is my fav song ;) the singing is so brutal and stumbling over itself

[TakeWarning]

Good band, I especially enjoy Iron Tusk and Blood and Thunder.

[UpperDecker]

Does anyone know whats up with the Seabeast video? Its my favorite song by them but the video was really weird. The last riff in that song is one of my favorites ever, its just so awesome.

[SimonCore]

I still have never seen any of there videos on TV!! Mainly becaus ei hardly ever watch music TV as all the channels suck now. Kerran plays Eminem and 50cent ffs....oh yeah and Gwen Stefani!:angry:

[Hellion462606]

Mastodon is great. For those who've not acquired them yet you need to get both CDs. The songs are a lot better when you start playing them and realize how much more technical they are than they sound at first.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Yeah, they both are quite good. I think my favorite song right now is Trilobyte. That first riff is really cool and awesome to play.

[gillygan]

So I just got call of The Mastodon and the new dvd. I've only seen the dvd and its sooo awsome :)

[Invicta_Veritas]

is Call of the Mastodon any good? I wanted to pick it up the other day but opted for Meshuggah instead

[gillygan]

I only got to listen to a little bit, but it seemed really good. I can't wait until blood mountain though :)

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Now with the tour with LoG and CoB (I belive) has more tour dates including some Canadian ones:thumb: , It doesn't look like its going to be released until after summer.:angry:

[gillygan]

Ah what the gay! Thats too long...

I put them up on The Daily Upload, hopefully they can gain more fans on here so we can have better discussion in this thread.

[Scuba_Steve]

was that you who put on lifesblood?

I've been looking everywhere for that and when it came through the list I was so happy.

[PinkFreud]

Just bought Leviathon this past weekend as was blown away. And now I find out that they're coming to Detroit. Huzzah!

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

They are comming to Winterpeg but tickets are like $40 CDN. That is retarded. I guess I'll have to hope they come back again without any other good bands with them.:upset:

[gillygan]

I've been looking everywhere for that and when it came through the list I was so happy.

Naw mane, I did download that though and its freaking good, just got around to listening to it.

[Scuba_Steve]

Naw mane, I did download that though and its freaking good, just got around to listening to it.


Indeed, although I still like remission more than it.


(Gah, I think i'll still try to find/buy lifesblood to support the band, and so I can get the sweet coverart)

[gillygan]

Haha, I try to buy most of my Mastodon stuff, becasue I don't like pirating from them.

[Scuba_Steve]

Haha, I try to buy most of my Mastodon stuff, becasue I don't like pirating from them.
with most bands, I'll buy albums I can find, but if I can't find them without searching, I pirate.

Cause really, if the record label wants stuff to sell they should distribute it more often/fairly.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I generally buy most of my albums if I like a band, but most of the time I generally sample a track first before deciding whether to buy an album. I just can't really afford loads of albums.

[[Shadowfox]]

Haha, I try to buy most of my Mastodon stuff, becasue I don't like pirating from them.

Same way with me, and their stuff is easily accessible, so I just buy it.

Anyone else love Battle at Sea way too much?

[Scuba_Steve]

I do, I was listening to mastodon at school today inbetween classes, and I was about this ---> l----l close to just headbanging in the hallway when that song came on

[gillygan]

Cause really, if the record label wants stuff to sell they should distribute it more often/fairly.

I agree that its wrong to pirate, but its pretty ridiculous to pay 20$ for a cd, when it cost 1$ to make.

Anybody like my new custom user title eh eh?

[[Shadowfox]]

Hawt. I think I'll give myself a Mastodon avatar.

NP-Battle At Sea

[JacksonDude675]

Mastodon is great. For those who've not acquired them yet you need to get both CDs. The songs are a lot better when you start playing them and realize how much more technical they are than they sound at first.


Theres 4 albums dip****. remission, lifesblood, leviathan, and call of the mastodon

[JacksonDude675]

i went to a mastodon concert a while ago. i got in a mosh and my friend got trampled . lol twas funny

[gillygan]

Theres 4 albums dip****.

No need to be an asshole. Douche.

ShadowFox, you avatar is really awsome :thumb:

[JacksonDude675]

im not, im just sayin, if he/she/it really liked mastodon he/she/it would know theres 4 albums

[gillygan]

So becasue he/she dosn't really liked mastodon

he/she is a dipshit?

[Kingofdudes]

Theres 4 albums dip****. remission, lifesblood, leviathan, and call of the mastodon
They only have 2 albums....... EPs/Compilations arent exactly albums, so call down buddy.

[JacksonDude675]

So becasue he/she dosn't

he/she is a dipshit?

no, i didnt say that cuz he/she/it likes mastodon. i like mastodon too

[JacksonDude675]

They only have 2 albums....... EPs/Compilations arent exactly albums, so call down buddy.

no, they have 4 albumbs. my friends dad knows the band. he shoots there videos. they have 4 albumbs

[PinkFreud]

Lifesblood is an EP. Call Of The Mastodon is a compilation. Not albums. Calm down.

"My dad owns a dealership."

[DanD]

After owning and loving Leviathan, I finally got around to picking up Remission. I ****ing love Mastodon, thats really all that I can say.

[gillygan]

I'm watchin the dvd for the second time. The guys in the band are pretty funny. Brent Hinds is insane :lol:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

no, they have 4 albumbs. my friends dad knows the band. he shoots there videos. they have 4 albumbs
Well my friends dad is a bus driver. I'm not kidding. An honest to God bus driver.

I'm watchin the dvd for the second time. The guys in the band are pretty funny. Brent Hinds is insane :lol:
Thoughs guys are really funny. I wonder if they're that cool in person.

Also I'll get my Mastodon avatar back, but after the playoffs (and Calgary wins the cup!:thumb:)

[[Shadowfox]]

ShadowFox, you avatar is really awsome :thumb:

Thanks man.

I think I'm going to burn a CD with Battle at Sea on it, and it will never end, because I'll put the first track on repeat.

Where Strides the Behemoth blows my mind. All of their drop-A stuff blows my mind. I love their take on it.

[JacksonDude675]

I wonder if they're that cool in person.

:)

dude, i met them backstage. brent threwe up all over my uncles shoes cuz he was so drunk, and he just kept talking like it never happened. hahaha it was hilarious! i also went to the iron tusk video shoot. i ate breakfast with mastodon!

[deathscreamingsheep]

I agree that its wrong to pirate, but its pretty ridiculous to pay 20$ for a cd, when it cost 1$ to make.

Anybody like my new custom user title eh eh?

Pfft I've seen them live 8 times and started like 10 threads on them which all sank beneath the surface. I > you at fanboyism.

And you wet your bed too.

At poster above, yeah they are a bunch of drunks. I went backstage and as I was there the stage-cleaner bloke turned up with a bag of abour 25 empty beer cans that the band had been through on stage during the show.

[JacksonDude675]

dude, i went to see them backstage. my freinds dad asked Brent a question. In the middle of talking he barfed all over his shoes and just kept talking like it never happened. lol. and that barf is still there to this very day

[deathscreamingsheep]

dude, i went to see them backstage. my freinds dad asked Brent a question. In the middle of talking he barfed all over his shoes and just kept talking like it never happened. lol. and that barf is still there to this very day

mmm... nice. If they get bigger after Blood Mountain you could probably sell it on eBay or something :thumb:

[JacksonDude675]

haha yeah. i see it now.
BUY MY FREINDS DADS SHOES THAT HAVE BRENT HINDS' BARF ON EM. haha
150$

[[Shadowfox]]

Mastodon is the only band that I'd actually like to see on The Unholy Alliance tour. All the bands are good, but Mastodon just has the better tunes.

Oh, and has that Kerrang! tribute to Metallica CD with Mastodon been released? If so, uh, I'll go download it.

[Crysiss]

What track did Mastodon do? I remember a thread about it before.

I want to download it also.

[[Shadowfox]]

Orion.

I kind of wish they would have got something with vocals, maybe The Thing That Should Not Be.

It should still kick ***, though. Orion seems to be the most Mastodon-ish song out of the bunch.

[YDload]

The vocals are probably Mastodon's weakest point, though. I'm GLAD they're doing an instrumental!

[gillygan]

Also I'll get my Mastodon avatar back, but after the playoffs

Psst, let me steal it, please, I just got my account name changed and I'm startin fresh.

Pfft I've seen them live 8 times and started like 10 threads on them which all sank beneath the surface. I > you at fanboyism.

Well I'm glad to see that someone does :)

Ya, Mastodon is pretty much a bunch of drunks, but none as much as Brent.

The vocals are probably Mastodon's weakest point, though. I'm GLAD they're doing an instrumental!

A'greed. They say it themselves in the dvd that there vocals suck. They originally had a singer that was supposedly really good, but before their first tour he quit.

[Crysiss]

Lawl@ the Country fill in Megalodon

[YDload]

Here is the proper way to drive along to Megalodon:

1) Take your foot off the accelerator whenever the country fill comes in.

2) Floor it when the song picks back up.

I swear I'm gonna get a speeding ticket because of that song, but it will be worth it.

Also, can someone tell me the difference between the two guitarists? I don't know much about them except one has a Les Paul silverburst (like Adam Jones of Tool: unique tone) and the other has a flying V.

[Crysiss]

You mean gearwise?

If not, that would sound completely stupid lol

[gillygan]

Also, can someone tell me the difference between the two guitarists? I don't know much about them except one has a Les Paul silverburst (like Adam Jones of Tool: unique tone) and the other has a flying V.

Brent Hinds has the bigger beard/hair. He grew up playing and learning tons of blues, until he was doing drugs and heard Neurosis, wich turned him onto metal. He used to have this hot peacre of *** http://dirtjunior.com/mastodon29.jpg Then someone stole it. Only two were made. Now he has a white V.

The other guitarist Bill Kellhiller, has the hottest les Paul I've ever seen, a silverburst. Not to sure about him, him and Brann played in a technical metal band togehter before.

So Bill is the Metal, and Brent is the blues influence. I think Bill uses Laney now, but I'm pretty sure both of them play through old Marshalls.

[[Shadowfox]]

That silver-burst V is hawt.

Mastodon makes me want a Gibson.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Psst, let me steal it, please, I just got my account name changed and I'm startin fresh.
:eek:

Nah, thats okay. Thanks for trying though.:)

[UpperDecker]

Anyone else really like Workhorse? Its one of my favorites at the moment. I also like how he sings during the verses. March of THe Fire Ants is awesome too.

[[Shadowfox]]

Meh, I don't care for Workhorse that much.

I have a song supposedly by Mastodon called Linus & Lucy, but I'm pretty sure it's not them. Can anyone give me some info on this? It's not on their website.

I'm tired of eating sloppy, slimey eggs.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Holy ****!!!
Chech this out!!!

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1527922/20060405/mastodon.jhtml?headlines=true&rsspartner=rssMozilla

[gillygan]

What exactly does that say? I don't understand it, that they finished recording Blood Mountain?

[[Shadowfox]]

What exactly does that say? I don't understand it, that they finished recording Blood Mountain?

It'll be finished by the end of the week, I believe.

I'm really interested in the keyboard addition on a song or two, and TMV's vocals on the album.

[Crysiss]

"I hope we can start a prog revolution, because the timing's right," he said. "You've got a Tool record that's coming out, an Isis record that's coming out, a Mars Volta record that's coming out, a Mastodon record that's coming out, and I hope that converges into something really awesome for music where it doesn't become pop, but there's a little more sharing of the pie. It would be cool if you had kids in their bedrooms not trying to learn Linkin Park songs, but they're trying to learn Mastodon songs. It's cool music that's honest and from the heart, and it's technically challenging."

That would be so amazing, Progressive metal hitting the mainstream out of nowhere.


It says that they're finishing up the record there fanboy.

[gillygan]

That would be so amazing, Progressive metal hitting the mainstream out of nowhere.


I highly doubt it will happen. I wouldn't even really classify Mastodon as progressive, but lets not get into that :thumb:

[Crysiss]

I hate genre fights so much. Everyone thinks their opinion is best represented.
But Mastodon is kind of progressive.

So anyone get ahold of the Orion cover yet?

[gillygan]

Theres pictures from recording blood mountain.

My favorite is this http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h242/adeedew/Mastodon%20In%20The%20Studio/Bill2.jpg

[deathscreamingsheep]

I honestly can't wait for Blood Mountain.

Whatever they say I doubt their music will be exactly mainstream, but being signed to WB with bands like Sevenfold and so on will mean that they'll be pushed a lot more.

[[Shadowfox]]

Mastodon at Warped Tour....what a day that would be.

[YDload]

']Mastodon at Warped Tour....what a day that would be.

Well, they had The Dillinger Escape Plan there last year, maybe they're dumb enough to let an interesting band through again!

[gillygan]

Hey YDload, you should ahve stickied this while you were moddded :p

So nobody likes me ubder cool pictures?

[Prince of Darkness]

The pics are cool.

I'm going to buy the Mastodon DVD, please advise me. Is it good? Should I get it?

[gillygan]

The pics are cool.

Your just saying that :p

I'm going to buy the Mastodon DVD, please advise me. Is it good? Should I get it?

For $15? I thought it was worth it. Theres about an hour long interveiw of the band talking about how they were formed, what they've done, etc etc. Some funny stuff. Then theres 2-3 hours of live footage. The only problem I have with it iss the sound qaulity though. But I would say definatley get it :thumb:

[Prince of Darkness]

I'm getting it for $11 on Amazon. You can't get it in South Africa. :mad:
How bad is the sound? Scale from 1-10

[gillygan]

How bad is the sound? Scale from 1-10

10 being the best, I would say six or seven are 8, six or seven are 5-6, and the rest are 4.

[Prince of Darkness]

10 being the best, I would say six or seven are 8, six or seven are 5-6, and the rest are 4.

I didn't understand that.
lol
oh well... Let's say the overall sound is 7/10. Would that be spot on?

[gillygan]

Haha, I got confused writing that.

I would say that 7/10 is right. I think the interweiw was better than watchin the vids though.

[Prince of Darkness]

coolsticks man. I'm buying this for sure. Then I'm buying 10 000 days and then Stadium Arcadium and then Muse. Where's my money gone?

[gillygan]

Haha. It's so hard to not spend my money as soon as I get it on a new cd. I wanna start getting more dvd's though.

I saw a whole concert of muse on tv. Holy crap, those guys are amazing live :eek:

[Prince of Darkness]

I saw them Live in 2004 at Earls Court. Fukin amazing!!
I also bought their Absolution Tour DVD. that rocks. You probably saw the Glastonbury show?

[gillygan]

Hmm, I'm not sure. It was about a year ago. It was absolutley stunning though, to sound that good, live.

Well I'm gonna go eat dinner, later. Hope you like the dvd.

[Prince of Darkness]

Eat dinner? My god. It's 2:15 am in SA! lol

[[Shadowfox]]

I should probably pickup the DVD soon, right after I get some new clothes/guitar gear.

So I guess we should get one of these in. Favorite songs anyone?

Battle at Sea
Seabeast
Where Strides the Behemoth

[Prince of Darkness]

Seabeast. I don't know the other 2 too good, but they're good aswell. Seabeast stands out for me.

Best between these:


Hearts Alive
Workhorse
March of the Fireants
Ol'e Nessie

I go with Hearts Alive. Amazing drumming.

[Crysiss]

March Of The Fire Ants
Megalodon
Hearts Alive

My top 3 fave Mastodon songs:D

[Scuba_Steve]

Blood and Thunder
Seabeast
Battle at Sea


My favourites, especially B+T.

[gillygan]

Where's Yppolitia? He made this thread, and I havn't seen him posting for a while.

Hmm this will be tough.

/looks through songs

Hearts Alive
Mother Puncher
Trainwreck

is the top three. I think Mastodon deserves a top 10 though.

[gillygan]

/rescues from third page

I'm downloading the Kerrang Master of Puppets right now :D

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Where are you downloading it from?

[alphamonkey]

If I were to randomly buy one of their albums, which shoould I get if I've never listenned to them before?

[gillygan]

Where are you downloading it from?

The daily upload. If your not on the list, put your email down and I can send you the link.

If I were to randomly buy one of their albums, which shoould I get if I've never listenned to them before?

Leviathan or Remission. Either would be fine.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Though I think Leviathan is slightly more accessible.

[UpperDecker]

Has the band said anything about what Blood Mountain will sound like?

[cramboli]

If I were to randomly buy one of their albums, which shoould I get if I've never listenned to them before?


Don't buy one... buy them all...



Or buy one then grab the rest and run....

Or go to there myspace (http://www.myspace.com/mastodon) page and preview some of thee music... Whatever suits you...

[Prince of Darkness]

Has the band said anything about what Blood Mountain will sound like?


In that MTV interview with Brann Dailor, he just said that "It's better in many ways". I trust him. I hope they keep it more like Leviathan and less like Remission.

Don't buy one... buy them all...



Or buy one then grab the rest and run....

Or go to there myspace (http://www.myspace.com/mastodon) page and preview some of thee music... Whatever suits you...

I would buy Leviathan first, see if it's cool, then buy Remission. imo, Lifesblood isn't worth the money. That EP sucks. I love Call of The Mastodon, the one with all the demo sh!t. that was good...

[gillygan]

Heres my story of how I got into Mastodon.

I was at borders, looking at music. I went to one of the listening stations that had Leviathan on it. I thought, oh, cool artwork. So I put it on and heard the intro to Blood and Thunder. From that moment on I loved Mastodon.

I remember going home that day and sitting in my room listening to "White...Whale...Holy, Grail!" all afternoon. Good times.

[Crysiss]

I just bought the Mastadon CD because that was the most metal CD at the local store.
Blood and Thunder is my favorite Mastodon song right now:D

[[Shadowfox]]

I usually download a few tracks from a band before I get their albums, so that's how I got into Mastodon. I was hooked.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I saw the video for Iron Tusk, and I'm like "Thats not even music." Then the next week, the show had the exact same videos, and it really caught on to me. I later saw the video for March Of The Fire Ants. I knew from their on, this band is amazing.

[Scuba_Steve]

I got into mastodon after hearing someone on here talk about them during last summer (cause they saw them at ozzfest or summin).

Later that week I was downtown at a record shop and I blindly picked up leviathan because I remembered the name mastodon. And they got me listening to alot of other bands that I otherwise wouldn't have picked up.

[YDload]

I just learned how to play the guitar interlude of "Blood and Thunder" on bass. It's a lot of fun but I don't think it's quite up to speed and my fretting index finger really hurts :(

[PinkFreud]

I read YDoad's drummer writeup on Dailor and thought he sounded awesome. So I bought Leviathon. I need Remission too.

[Concubine]

i got Leviathan cd+dvd for only $18 :chug:

[Moses]

Dailor has some chops.

[Concubine]

Dailor has some chops.

Indeed:thumb:

[penelope weird hands]

^ Yeah, 123, guys.

/listens to Workhorse
*sigh* So good.

I still can't believe he didn't make it through the first round of the best drummer polls. :angry:

[deathscreamingsheep]

I got into them when Remissions came out. I just liked the cover art work really and their logo. So I bought the album having some spare cash and the rest was history.

[metal_related_aneurysm]

I'm desperately searching for a copy of Remission at a JB near me...

So far nothing -_-
Going to get Call of the Mastodon to tide me over until then.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

There are times when I think being unique is a good thing. Mastadon is not one of times. I hate Mastadon.

[Sexorcist]

****ing love this band! Saw them play mean fiddler... was suppose to be astoria but they got moved down which sucked. They played so well and the solo in Emerald was intense! Troy said some wise words about the bombings in london aswell... what a nice man he is

[deathscreamingsheep]

****ing love this band! Saw them play mean fiddler... was suppose to be astoria but they got moved down which sucked. They played so well and the solo in Emerald was intense! Troy said some wise words about the bombings in london aswell... what a nice man he is

I was at this gig too. It was pretty darn good.

[Sexorcist]

Sure was. Shame about speedhorn, not keen on them, but i forgot all about them as soon as Mastodon came on.

[Prince of Darkness]

I just saw a Kerrang! where Mastodon got KKKKK(5 K's) for a gig at London Scala. I would love to see them.

[Crysiss]

There are times when I think being unique is a good thing. Mastadon is not one of times. I hate Mastadon.

Mastodon doesnt have something to appeal to everybody. I feel that way about some bands that are labelled unique.

Mastodon is great IMO.

I just saw a Kerrang! where Mastodon got KKKKK(5 K's) for a gig at London Scala. I would love to see them.

I want to say something sarcastic to that but I'd be making a fool of myself. Even by telling you guys, I am:p

Thats great though.

Anyone think that the Seabeast video is ****ed up?

[Rattlehead]

can we discuss their drummer? his drummings sounds really good in the leviathon stuff. im a guitarist. is he truly good, or is it just an impression on a guitarists ears?

[Prince of Darkness]

Brann Dailor is one of my favourite drummers. He's serious love for off-beat and fills throughout songs make my legs turn to jelly. And he also has a very small kit compared to other metal acts. He needs space for he's hands moving all over the place!

[DanD]

I got the drummer in my band to listen to Mastodon. He hates the drummer, he says that he does too much and takes away from the other instruments. I disagree, but thats what he thinks.
