Since forming in 2000, Atlanta's Mastodon has essentially lived on the road. After non-stop touring the band, Brann Dailor, Bill Kelliher, Troy Sanders and Brent Hinds decided to record a demo, which would ultimately be released in a shortened EP form on Relapse Records as Lifeblood. The success of the EP spurned more touring, and even greater success. Their first full-length album Remission, followed in 2002. True to form another round of touring ensued and then Leviathan an album critics were quick to embrace. But it's with the band's legion of fans that they have really delivered. Mastodon's "blue collar" touring ethic has earned them constant accolades from fans that have grown accustomed to their accessibility, approachability and dedication as a working mans band. Rare is the artist who achieves that critical balance coupled with the level of fan support Mastodon has attained. Blood Mountain was released in September of 2006 to critical acclaim and grammy nominated.
You gentlemen destroyed the world in pompano beach and then rebuilt it with your glorious metal, if i never get to see another live show that one will sustain me, Thank You!
Los grandes relatos de salvación de la modernidad han muerto en la postmodernidad. Así que podríamos decir que Dios ha muerto, pero este vacío trascendente de Dios fue reemplazado por la nueva Providencia que mencioné hace rato, que es la Providencia del mercado. Es el mercado el que se presenta como un nuevo dios: potencia, omnipotencia; podría hacer todo, regular todo. Así que estamos ante una especie de nuevo dios. El problema es que este nuevo dios no cumple sus promesas.
"I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but, having said that I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but then they end up going, "Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back without the drug." -Maynard

Meticulously crafted and uttely expansive, "A New Constellation" combines the best cross sections of Prog-Rock and Jazz infused Art-Metal with a healthy dose of Doom oriented melancholy.
