Rumor: Mastodon and Opeth to team up for U.S. tour
fuckyeahmastodon:
Mastodon and Opeth are rumored to be teaming up for a U.S. tour in April. Support on the trek will likely come from Ghost.
FUCKYEAH!
The me of 2.5 years ago would have LOVED this news, awaited the confirmation of it with baited breath, and driven very long distances to see the closest show. The me of now still really likes this news, but doesn’t really care for...

Mastodon concert report
Saw Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Red Fang at House of Blues in Orlando last night. Short and sweet:
Red Fang:
Cool fuckin’ band. Very groovy. Dug it alot.
Dillinger Escape Plan:
Very impressive. I was up front for Red Fang and kept thinking “I’m gonna die when DEP comes on.” Well, not really, but it was pretty intense. Ben Weinman stood on the shoulders of...

Don't miss Mastodon on "The Late Show with David...
fuckyeahmastodon:
Let’s see if Brent throws a plate of chicken wings at Dave this time around!!!
(Seriously, I read a report that Dave and Brent almost got into altercation before Mastodon’s last appearance in 2009. Dave made a joke about Brent’s forehead tattoo and Brent threw a plate of chicken wings at him, which ruined Dave’s suit. He had to change at the last minute before the show aired....

This is creepy, because I’m just right now watching the 1970 live version of Iron Man.
Good quote, too.

Brann and Troy discuss their favorite metal riffs!
Well Brann does, at least. Troy just looks like he wants to get the hell out of there.
Also, tomorrow is the world premiere of the official “Curl of the Burl” music video!!! Get excited!
Will always reblog for something having to do with The Doorway
So that one album from that one band leaked...
(Heading off the ‘oh noez’: I’ve pre-ordered the iTunes version and will probably buy other related merch. I do buy things from bands, thank you very much)
My take:
Very good. Not ‘wowed’, perhaps that will take more listens. I feel like alot is going on in many of the singles - they are deceptively simple but also hard to process. Other than that, I loveeeee...

codeaires asked: This will be my first time seeing DEP too (which is weird since I've been a fan for about eight years). THINK OF HEARING HORSE HUNTER LIVE WITH BRENT ACTUALLY THERE, DUDE.

Random thought about Curl of the Burl
I just re-listened to Curl of the Burl and realized that it’s heaviness is getting way underrated. I thought “QOTSA lite” when I first heard it, but that groove is fuckin’ mean, yo. It’s a really heavy song fed through a pop structure, which I think is really cool.

Trap Them’s Ryan McKenney on the extreme music industry. Great read. Also, fuck yeah, Trap Them. Darker Handcraft will most likely be my favorite album of the year. I listen to it all the time. And no, I didn’t buy it, in the mood of honesty, but I saw them live in November, and will see them live this October.

Black Tongue is the first single from The Hunter
It’s listed on Spotify, but is unavailable. Easy guess that it will be the thing to be revealed 9PM EST and will then become available.
This Monday at about 9pm PST, Mastodonrocks.com...
Aka, at midnight Tuesday EST.
Omg I hope it’s the first single

Here’s the video for Deathbound; check it out it’s aweseome!! sort of Melvins crazy vid!

LOL Brann Rogers.
This song is awesome. I can see why it wasn’t included in Crack the Skye…my guess is that it was gonna fit between Ghost of Karelia and the song Crack the Skye.

Sexism in Philosophy →
This is horrible. As someone who is interested in going into philosophy as a man, I find this pretty shameful. It’s a massively male-centric profession, and inevitably this is going to happen, but it’s pretty bad to realize that smart, forward-thinking people are like this.
