Recognising the importance of life’s omnipresent cycles on their sixth full-length album, Once More ‘Round the Sun, Mastodon orbit around themes of loss and rebirth, twirling a sonic spiral of signature robust riffing, hypnotically haunting soundscapes with a triage of dynamic voices and thundering seismic grooves.

Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains, Deftones, etc.) One More ‘Round The Sun picks up thematically from previous album The Hunter with first single High Road perfectly representing Mastodon’s trademark sludge/stoner/alternative/metal style. Mastodon’s most recent visit to Australia was this year as part of the Soundwave line up where they headlined the metal stage.
