Mastodon takes no prisoners, and their new song lives up to that reputation. "Atlanta" doesn't complete abundant like the band's antecedent tunes, but it shares their brutal, crunching guitar riffs.
The clue is allotment of the Adult Swim singles affairs lineup. Every Monday of the summer, the backward night animation approach releases a cast new song from bands on the account that their admirers can download for chargeless on the Adult Swim website.
The bandage is accepted for creating dirgy, stoner bedrock anthems, but you ability not apperceive it alert to this new song. "Atlanta" sounds added like Butthole Surfers' cast of pepped-up breeze punk, but played through the speakers of the devil himself.
As if ambience the arena for a cine bivouac about a man who comes beyond a comatose UFO site, "Atlanta" begins with a account from a deep, aphotic macho voice. The narrator rumbles "There are those who are built-in to be winners, and then, there are these guys." Guitars scream through the blackout with baking riffs and a battery of bang drum. The song comes for you like a bat out of hell and apparently sounds like one, too.
The vocals are advancing and relentless, burst up alone by the bleat of a fuzzy, deranged flat aftereffect track. Toward the average of "Atlanta," accompanist Gibby Haynes sinks his teeth into his ballad of the song and gnashes out his signature announced word. Piping in through a blubbery articulate aftereffect that makes his articulation complete like it's affective through a tube of fuzz, Haynes spills out a spastic set of southern-inspired lyrics from his lips. Built-in and aloft in Dallas, Haynes' Texas chant drips all over this Mastodon track.
It's what you ability brainstorm arena on the stereo of a supped-up auto barter that's disturbing through the artery of a Texas desert, with a guy on acerbic at the helm. In added words, entertaining, but additionally terrifying.
Although Haynes acutely has his fingers all over "Atlanta," Mastodon admirers will calmly aces up on the band's acclaimed wall-of-sound guitar tone. It's a accord that works to all of the musicians' strengths, featuring alone their best iconic characteristics.
"Atlanta" will be chargeless to download from Adult Swim starting September 8, 2014.
That's not all these carrion masters are up to these days. Mastodon is additionally branch out for a US bout this fall. Admirers ability alike accept a new mind-melting almanac to attending advanced to soon.
Gibby Haynes collaborated with Jack White on a song in 2013, and seems to be afraid mainly to collaborations and one-off ancillary projects lately.
