As one of the most internationally respected and influential heavy Rock bands of their generation, MASTODON continue to thrive in musical, lyrical and compositional terms to become their own musical genre. The current album, ‘Emperor Of Sand’, won the Grammy Award 2018 in the category “Best Metal Performance” for the title ‘Sultan's Curse’. The album ‘Emperor of Sand’ was nominated in the category “Best Rock Album”. This marks MASTODON’s first Grammy win after five Grammy nominations so far. The album also landed in #1 of the Metal Hammer Top 100 albums of the year and MASTODON were honoured as “Best Live Band” at the 2017 UK Metal Hammer Golden Gods. ‘Emperor Of Sand’ is a commercial as well as a media success for the band. Not only is it the band’s third release in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200, it also debuted directly on #1 on the Billboard Rock charts and #1 on the Physical Album charts.
“That MASTODON are capable of channelling personal tragedies into madcap sci-fi fantasy is impressive, but on ‘Emperor Of Sand’ they finally harness their musical ambitions as well.” - PITCHFORK
“Their most ambitious album in years - MASTODON is one of the most beloved heavy bands on earth.”- ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE (US)
“MASTODON has an innate ability to be both accessible and really friggin’ far out at the same time.” - REVOLVER MAGAZINE
“The music of ‘Emperor Of Sand’ is an emotional statement in itself. Fury and invention coexist, and rage, while palpable, isn’t the sole or dominant characteristic… metal that soars with authority and intellect. ‘Emperor Of Sand’ stands as another arresting work by MASTODON, which may very well be contemporary metal’s most compelling group.” - WALL STREET JOURNAL
