Just A Note For Followers

Felt like I needed to make something a little more clear - while Brann does read this site and keep up with it, he doesn’t really respond to anything written here directly. Brann does not have a Tumblr or any public venue where fans can reach him, unless you want to count the occasional appearance on Mastodon’s official forums. Part of me kind of wishes that he would submit content,...

fetch-my-weave asked: If Brann goes on here often, I just want him to know that he's my biggest inspiration as a drummer, and Mastodon is one of the biggest influences on our fledgling band.

“I visit the site almost every day. Your site is more informative than ours,...”

– Brann Dailor on Fuck Yeah Mastodon. At least that’s what he told me last night.

Important Notice About The "Leak"

Doro here. I had to delete the previous post about The Hunter’s leaked tracks for several reasons; the two most important reasons being: I don’t want FYM to get in trouble with Reprise/Warner. Illegal downloads are not to be tolerated on this site. Leaking an album cover or details about the album is one thing, but for FYM to support leaking an entire album a week before it hits...

TROY SANDERS Talks About Making Of 'The Hunter'

Metalshrine recently conducted an interview with Troy about The Hunter; Metalshrine: Why Mike Elizondo for producer [of the new MASTODON album “The Hunter”]? Did that have anything to do with him producing AVENGED SEVENFOLD? Troy Sanders: We chose Mike. A lot of people look at his résumé and he co-wrote some giant hits with Eminem and Dr. Dre and he worked with Fiona Apple and...

thegodmansgoatlust asked: Do you know who is singing in the preview of The Creature Lives? I read somewhere that it's apparently Troy!

I AM HAVING A GOD DAMN HEART ATTACK. Stay tuned to this website for dates, which will be announced later today… Are you ready?

"Big Announcement" Coming Monday...

Yesterday, Mastodon posted news on their Facebook page and website about an announcement of some sort that’s coming our way in two days. This will more than likely concern tour dates, but I can’t really confirm this rumor yet. Curiously, Relapse Records darlings Red Fang also made a similar “big announcement” post about an hour after Mastodon’s concerning news they...

You know who doesn't give a fuck about Tumblr's...

Brent Hinds, that’s who.

Brann Explains The Hunter, One Track At A Time!

Yanked this off of the band’s official forum for your amusement. In Brann’s own words: “Black Tongue” That’s a song about a parrot. They have black tongues. I don’t know if you’re familiar. You know, looking in that fucking mirror all day playing with that bell, it just gets to you. If you could fly and then get someone to put you in a cage, you’re not going to be too happy. ...

elduderina asked: Doro, please make a post about helping to save Criminal Records! This shop has had an integral part in Mastodon's success in ATL & every local Mastodon fan's heart. I remember seeing them play in the old location's parking lot for the Leviathan release & then again for the CTS release, right before the shop moved back around the corner. Criminal is an institution &...

Spectrelight - lyrics.

We trip the light Firebird flies Burn your inside Given a lesson The path I’ve shown Follow all I know Into the Spectralight Into the afterlife.. It came from the ocean Gift from the sea Lava forms the stone Belief in power Believe the truth Trust your own truth into the Spectralight Into the afterlife.. You listen through the light Tolling on the sea Barren eyes behind you Leave the shadows...
