MASTODON RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM MARROW DEEP

Mastodon have released their highly anticipated new album, Marrow Deep via Loma Vista Recordings. Five years on from the expansive Hushed and Grim, Marrow Deep documents founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Bill Kelliher alongside new members Nick Johnston and João Nogueira as they emerge from personal upheaval with a renewed sense of purpose. Inspired by the Three Fates of Greek mythology and the fragile threads connecting life, loss, and destiny, Marrow Deep channels the experiences of the intervening years into some of the most expansive, adventurous, and emotionally resonant music of the band’s storied career. Marrow Deep was co-produced by Mastodon at their own West End Sound in Atlanta with Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey, Charli XCX) and Kurt Ballou (High On Fire, Converge), was mixed by Andrew Scheps (Adele, Black Sabbath, Metallica), and includes a sprawling list of guest performers including Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Neil Fallon of Clutch, Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe, Converge members Nate Newton and Ben Koller, Joe Duplantier of Gojira, and none other than Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler.

As presaged by an ever-expanding stable of glowing reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone, NPR, Exclaim, Revolver, Decibel, and many more, Marrow Deep marks the beginning of an ambitious new era in which the band balance grief (read more via GQ), introspection (see Bill’s Hardlore interview), and playfulness (watch their Dark Web appearance). The album preserves the crushing riffs, adventurous songwriting, and emotional depth that have long defined Mastodon, while a reinvigorated drive yields some of the most compelling music of their career. “Bill, Brann, and myself are thrilled that we still have the opportunity to do this, and we've got other members who are just over the moon to be in the band with us,”Sanders says. “That's a magical feeling that makes us keep wanting to go to band practice. It’s reminiscent of the very beginning of our band, where all members are hungry, we're united, and excited to get to work. And we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to do this record.”

About Mastodon:GRAMMY® Award-winning band Mastodon have quietly evolved into one of the most influential, inimitable, and iconic rock bands of the modern era. Since emerging in 2000, the Atlanta quartet have defied both sonic and thematic boundaries with an uncategorizable, undeniable, and uncompromising vision unlike anything else in music. This vision manifested over the course of canonical albums such as Leviathan, which landed on Rolling Stone’s coveted The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. Following the seminal Crack The Skye [named one of the best albums of 2009 by Time], they earned three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with The Hunter [2011], Once More ‘Round the Sun [2014], and Emperor of Sand [2017]. Out of six career nominations, they received a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” for Sultan’s Curse. They are the rare creative force whose music can be felt everywhere from Game of Thrones, Adult Swim, The History Channel, and DC comics films to Coachella and Bonnaroo. They notably supported the Hirschberg Foundation For Pancreatic Cancer Research with a rendition of Stairway To Heaven in honor of late manager Nick John. The group reached another critical high watermark via their ninth full-length, Hushed and Grim. Featuring the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Pushing The Tides, it marked the band’s third straight #1 bow on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums Chart. It concluded 2021 on over a dozen year-end lists with Rolling Stone raving, “we get everything from some of the band’s hookiest rockers to date to some of their most awe-inspiring epics.” Evolving as they usher rock into new realms, they forever remain the same unpredictable trailblazing beast—Mastodon.
