Once More ’Round the Sun

Mastodon

A vibrant collision of sludge-heavy riffs and psychedelic pop hooks. Polished, cosmic, and rhythmically complex metal for the height of summer.

Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden shift into a soaring, radio-ready pop chorus on track 2 after a punishing sludge intro
the chaotic, punk-infused gang vocals and frantic tempo change in the final minute of track 8
the slow-burning, doom-laden descent into psychedelic feedback during the nearly eight-minute finale
