Mastodon is having one hell of a year. The band just wrapped up their tour celebrating 20 years of Leviathan, recently announced a remastered version of Crack The Skye, and has been working on new material (or even two sets of new material).
So just how soon can we expect new Mastodon? According to a retrospective post on the 20th anniversary of Leviathan, sooner thank you think! Well, maybe – Mastodon clearly likes to keep some mystery surrounding what they've been up to lately.
"It's wild to look back at how far we've come in the past two decades. In the Leviathan days, we were grinding it out in a van, dreaming of something bigger. Who would've thought that would lead to 20 years of incredible experiences! Grammy nominations and a win! #1 spots on the Billboard Rock Chart, and even a cameo in Game of Thrones amongst other things!
"We've had the honor of touring the world, playing everywhere from small clubs to massive festivals, sharing the stage with our favorite bands like Slayer, Metallica, and Primus. Now, celebrating 20 years of Leviathan alongside our good ole' buddies Lamb Of God as they mark 20 years of Ashes of the Wake on a co-headline arena tour—just wow!
"Seeing our fanbase grow into a global community has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who's been rockin' with us since Leviathan and to those who've joined us along the way! The last 20 years have been an incredible ride, and it feels like we're just getting started.
"We're excited for what's next… maybe even a new song sooner than you think… maybe…"
