Mastodon - Stargasm

My #9 album is Mastodon with their album "The Hunter".




I didnt think they would or could make even better album, but this is a giant!
The riffs, the heavy groove that I just love! A taste of psycadelic doesnt make it worse :)



The album is their fifth studio album and was released in September 2011, in an interview with MTV Germany, it was revealed that the new album will be called The Hunter in honor of Brent Hinds's brother who unexpectedly passed away while hunting during the making of the album. Speaking to AOL's Noisecreep, drummer Brann Dailor described the new material as not so much proggy as riff-oriented and "a little more stripped down," akin to that of Leviathan (2004) and "like a really super-heavy Led Zeppelin or something." Asked if Brent Hinds is again responsible for most of the initial songwriting", Dailor replied, "I think it's a little more collaborative, with everyone chipping in."

Folks, This is #9 Mastodon!

Mastodon - All the Heavy Lifting

Today when I got home, was there as usual a pile of mail at the door, but it was not just a bunch of bills, advertisements and other junk, which stuck up a "jiffy" bag it brown and nice and shouted, open me now! It was not quite what I expected, impatient as I am, opened it immediately and to my great surprise, it was a painting there and not just any painting, it was "Mastodon's The Hunter" painted in 8-bit interpretation of the cover; created by none other than Slusk ... wow what a cool thing, was actually quite speechless for a moment and thought was this a late birthday gift???


No, not directly, it turned out that some Slusk had a contest, Slusk lacked inspiration and needed a nudge on the road and shouted for help. My suggestion was that he could do his interpretation of the Mastodon album "The Hunter" which he did and I got in the mail. Shit what arbitrarily, this will get a place of honor at home.

So what about today's tune then... It's obvious that Mastodon is the main theme of today and the suitable tune for this is this beautiful song with the following lyrics "Can you show me, Where to find a stream" thinking of course of the artistic direction.

Todays tune "All the Heavy Lifting" is taken from the latest album "The Hunter" and is dedicated to Slusk, thank you!

A full show would be brilliant to see and hear.
