Roadrunner Records is proud to announce a new member of the family with MASTODON who’ll quite soon be releasing their brand-new, fourth album ‘The Hunter’.
Drummer Brann Dailor about „The Hunter”: „When you listen to the songs, they don't sound as 'fun' as we perceive them to be, I guess; it's still pretty extremely heavy material. We had a few songs that were kind of, not left over from 'Crack The Skye', but just stuff that we wanted to be on that album, but that album kind of took on a whole different thing of its own and there were a few stragglers that were super-heavy and crazy that didn't make it, and we finally got to put them on this record. And then we wrote a whole bunch of brand new stuff. There's, like, 14 songs that we recorded. And it's sort all over the place — a lot of different sounds. Some straight-up classic-rock-sounding songs, straight-up death metal-sounding songs and some completely bizarre, weirdo rock songs that we're not really sure what they are, but we love them.”
The album has been recorded at Doppler Studios in Atlanta. Drummer Brann already recorded his drum parts before that at legendary Sound City Studios in Los Angeles where NIRVANA’s ‘Nevermind’ was recorded as well.
