Mastodon's new album is shaping up to have a lot of really interesting rumors surrounding it, most recently that it'll be a double album with one side being titled Cold Dark Place. Now drummer Brann Dailor has said to Metal Hammer that he'd like to get a little more progressive with things on the new album, implying that the band isn't quite done with its writing and tinkering process just yet.
“It sounds like Mastodon to me but an updated version. We always try to push to hear something new and hear something different, so that’s what’s going on. It’s impossible to tell somebody what something sounds like so I’ll spare the details but so far so good – we go with what we know, play what we like and if we don’t like it, we don’t play it.”
“I’d like to get a little more proggy, and have a little more space and play around with dynamics a little bit more – just dive a little deeper with some of the riffs and some of the parts. Just get more explorative and push in that direction and say where normally there’s a stopping point, try to push beyond it. We’ll see what that yields.”
Seeing as Crack The Skye is my favorite album by Mastodon thus far, the fact that Dailor wants to get a little more progressive with things is infinitely exciting.
