"Mastodon did as much with approachable psychedelic prog on this release as they did for bestial sludgy prog on Leviathan."

Hope this is accurate and not just a musician saying what musicians always say about their music. Emperor felt a bit too by-the-numbers. I want a more drastic change in sound.

I really dug Emperor, but I'm pretty stoked to see where they go. They've always kept that Mostodonian edge... even with their "friendlier" stuff.

"The new record, the stuff I’ve written, it’s not quite as notey as [Emperor of Sand], but it’s definitely got a more like Neurosis heaviness, [with] simplified guitar parts..." - Bill Kelliher

Yeah a mix between Neurosis and Acid Bath would be nice.

Asleep in the Deep video is great agreed

I'll never understand why people continue to hate on the Hunter after albums like this and Emperor have come out to general praise.
