Are you ready for two brand new Mastodon<\/a><\/strong> projects? Because they’re coming, and lemme tell you \u2013 they’re a big secret. At least that’s what Mastodon<\/a><\/strong> drummer Brann Dailor<\/strong> said in a recent interview with Loudwire<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n While remaining secretive, Dailor<\/strong> noted that Mastodon<\/a><\/strong> has “lots of music” in the works right now and that the two projects is not a double album. You also really gotta wonder if this has anything to do with the “new configuration of the [Crack The Skye<\/em>] album on the horizon” comment made by the band<\/a> a few months ago\u2026<\/p>\n “Riffs. Drum beats and riffs,” said Dailor<\/strong>. “I can’t really divulge too much. It’s a hush-hush operation, very top secret\u2026 I don’t wanna spoil it.<\/p>\n “There’s lots of music, that’s all I can say. There’s tons of music. We’ve been writing pretty much this whole time that we’ve been off since we got home from South America [in November 2023]. And after we got home from South America with Gojira<\/a><\/strong>, we opened Christmas presents and then, since like, February or so, we’ve just been working hard making two different projects \u2014 not a double album, but two different projects.<\/p>\n “So that’s the nugget I can share with you. Whatever those projects are, nobody knows. But there’s riffs involved. Some of the riffs are, like, really heavy and tasty and I really like ’em. I’m the metalhead in the band, so when we get some real heavy stuff, I’m, like, ‘Oh, yeah, I like that. It’s cool.'”<\/p>\n Mastodon<\/a><\/strong> is out on the road with Lamb Of God<\/a><\/strong> right now, both playing their 2004 albums Leviathan<\/em> and Ashes Of The Wake<\/em> in full. All dates will be opened by Kerry King<\/a><\/strong> and Malevolence<\/a><\/strong>, except for a few in the middle featuring Kerry King<\/a><\/strong> and Unearth<\/a><\/strong>.
