Last week, Mastodon fans were either intruiged or worried with guitarist Bill Kelliher saying the band is "kind of turning the corner to the next thing" in regards to their sound. In a new interview, drummer Brann Dailor clarified the statements.
In a new interview with Louder Sound, Dailor clarified that the new album's musical direction is "all over the map," saying:
“It’s all over the map. There’s some big, big heavy riffs that are happening, so that’s what I’m into.
“And then there’s some guitar gymnastics by Brent Hinds that have been some of the most difficult things I’ve tried to wrap my head around and play drums to.
“So there’s some super-progginess coming from him, and some really super, pretty moments. But there’s some rockers in there, too. There’s some heavy, fast stuff as well. But a lot of it is kind of doomy. But that’s where we’re at!”
Brann is saying all the right things. So far, Mastodon has yet to disappoint me with their music, so I'm curious to hear these new sounds. Are you?
