'Aunt Lisa' balances the technicality with melodicism even better, interestingly climaxing in a glam rock passage featuring the hooky chearleader chanting. Mastodon are equally commendable when they reveal their pop sensibilities on such cuts as 'The Motherload' and the title track, but there are also moments of controlled technical madness on 'Chimes At Midnight' that's built around cascading polyrhythmic riffs. The dashing pace of opener 'Tread Lightly' attests to this, propelling breakdowns and unbridled riffery with verve and admirable precision. However, the songwriting is so inspired that it turns this lack of reinvention into a petty shortcoming. As the title of the album implies, Mastodon have settled in their comfort zone in lieu of blazing new trails. There's also hardly anything novel in the act's sonic playbook this time around. The band's penchant for alluring concepts has once again been ceased as Once More 'Round The Sun is a collection of thematically unrelated songs. The foursome's new offering Once More 'Round The Sun tones down the previous album's eclecticism in favor of a more unified, if equally direct sound to bracing effect. The album that followed The Hunter cast aside the confines of a tangible concept and embraced an even wider range of musical influences.
THE SUN ORIGIN REVIEW CRACK
Mastodon sounded equally invigorated on Moby Dick-inspired staple sludge metal release Leviathan 10 years ago, and the hugely ambitious progressive metal opus Crack The Skye 5 years later. They are a rare metal band who have achieved commercial success without surrendering creative control of their work. The triumph of this Atlanta quartet lies not only in their trailblazing brand of primal sludge metal with progressive leanings, but also in tremendous consistency and stiff refusal to dilute their music.

Brave the dangers of the Wasteland and face off against humans, rabid hounds, ghouls and raiders.Review Summary: A blueprint of how to go commercial without sacrificing one's artistic identity.īy the fourteenth year of their career, Mastodon rose to become one of the most relevant outfits in modern metal. Manage scarce resources such as ammunition, food and medical supplies. Explore a merciless wasteland in an immersive, first-person view. A warrior that would one day become a legend. A warrior that would save his people by bending the wasteland to his will. It was in this world that a warrior known only as Raven would emerge. The few areas that still had clean water and arable land were held by ruthless warlords and their armies. A world in which the laws of civilization had been replaced by the law of the gun. When their supplies eventually ran out and these communities were forced to emerge from their shelters, they saw a new world of desolation and chaos. Only those that had heeded the warnings and taken shelter in abandoned bunkers were spared. The fog killed indiscriminately … the young, old, rich and poor all fell in equal measure.
When the wave of energy struck the earth, a storm of radioactive particles blanketed the atmosphere in a deadly, carcinogenic fog. Though predicted for years by the scientific community, their warnings were ignored by the world leaders that instead squabbled over petty territorial concerns. In the year 2050, the sun unleashed a catastrophic surge of energy into space, a wave of power that would plunge our civilization into chaos for centuries. The Sun: Origin - dip into the world of Wastelands.
