We'll dispense with the usual bullshit: chances are, you're already familiar with Mastodon. They've been, inarguably, one of the most important metal bands of the 21st century thus far, and a band that we pretty much revere at MetalSucks. We recently got the chance to interview bassist and co-vocalist Troy Sanders during some pre-show downtime at [...]~~

It's my understanding that Mastodon's Blood Mountain was a concept album much like Leviathan was. I say "it's my understanding" because I have no fucking idea what they were going on about. I mean, I get that they were looking for crystal skulls and yadda yadda, but once you get into that whole Lord of [...]

Haa, well Mastodon really went for it with the first Crack The Skye clip. In a Progress Report they told Jessica the album would be a "combination of 'brutal,' 'fucking' and 'epic,'" and that the record would be "dissecting the dark matter that dominates the universe, in a nutshell." The Roboshobo-directed "Divinations " video hits all the beats: the band goes mountain climbing to unlock the a...

Hello chums. I haven't been around as much lately, but this new MOG has got me moving around the mog-o-sphere a bit more. I've been enjoying the new "My Feed" section. Much easier to keep up on things than worrying than notifications clogging up my inbox, which sadly would, more often than not, would result in mass delete rather than actually sifting through them all. Also the "My Status" thin...

Despite my growing concerns for the metal genre (who will take over the reigns of the metal world), I am happy to know that Slayer is releasing a new album slated for late summer. What I am most impressed with is Tom Araya's ability to belt out vocals at his age (he's almost 50), like he has for the past 2+ decades. For those of you that are TRUE metalheads and if you aren't up to date, Slaye...

This metal opus borders on progressive, which to many metal purists is a kiss of death. But they mix enough groovy licks and touch on the old thrash-punk just enough to make you scratch your head. There are too many style influences in this to be able to call it derivative of anything.you can get this from eMusic:http://www.emusic.com/album/11015/11015915.html
