Mastodon Releases “Once More ’Round the Sun”

Mastodon’s latest album, Once More ’Round the Sun, is a progression from its last, bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders said in an interview earlier this year with Paste.

“A lot of people ask us if it kicks off where The Hunter left off,” he said. “And to a large degree, I suppose yes.”

The record also focuses on cycles, like those of loss and rebirth, all with the metal band’s signature sound.

You can even find out about how the album came together at Nashville recording sessions in these quick making of videos:
