Future Atlanta Albums: Mastodon, Snowden, Pistolero


Mastodon

Mastodon’s newest record, Crack The Skye, still doesn’t have an official release date yet, but many sources say it looks to hit stores late March. The band will be revealing the artwork for the new album on Monday, so it is definitely coming soon. Brann Dailor talks about the theme of the album:

There is a paraplegic and the only way that he can go anywhere is if he astral travels. He goes out of his body, into outer space and a bit like Icarus, he goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus. So he is in outer space and he is lost, he gets sucked into a wormhole, he ends up in the spirit realm and he talks to spirits telling them that he is not really dead. So they send him to the Russian cult, they use him in a divination and they find out his problem. They decide they are going to help him. They put his soul inside Rasputin’s body. Rasputin goes to usurp the czar and he is murdered. The two souls fly out of Rasputin’s body through the crack in the sky(e) and Rasputin is the wise man that is trying to lead the child home to his body because his parents have discovered him by now and think that he is dead. Rasputin needs to get him back into his body before it’s too late. But they end up running into the Devil along the way and the Devil tries to steal their souls and bring them down…there are some obstacles along the way.

Well, that is interesting. As you know Mastodon will be playing the Scion Rock Fest next month, so I’m sure that show will be full of new numbers. Until then, you can listen to a tease of a new song on their website, and here is a new song from the album called “Divinations” from their Bonnaroo set:







Snowden @ Variety Playhouse (11/30/07)

Pretty much since i started this blog i have been patiently waiting for Snowden’s follow up to 2006’s Anti Anti, and it looks like we are starting to get really close. On Snowden’s great blog, David Payne gives a progress report:

In Snowden news, there’s another new song Jordan just finished (really good one) and now we’re about to start shopping some demos around. The whole album is basically written and now we’re just looking for the right option in regards to releasing it. I know it’s taking a long time to come out, but we didn’t want to rush this one. The sound has evolved quite a bit with this batch of songs and I think people will dig it. Thanks to everyone for having patience. New music from Snowden will definitely drop this year!

Well I know I can’t friggin’ wait. Here is a great video of them working on these infamous demos floating around elite ears right now:

And here is a live video of a new song called “Red Handed”:
