New Mastodon album almost written
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 April 2011
Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor has revealed that the band are nearly ready to begin recording their next album, the follow-up to 2009’s brilliant ‘Crack The Skye’.
Dailor told About.com: “It’s coming along really good. We’re just about done. I’m excited to get into the studio and start recording. The guitar players [in the band] have been collecting riffs as we go while we’re on tour. We have a little amp backstage and they’ll jam on some stuff and record it and get bits and pieces together. Then when we get home and have time to write a record we can dump all those parts out and see what fits together and what sounds good and what doesn’t”.
He added that he hopes to have the album out “by the end of the summer”, saying: “We don’t mess around. But we’ll see”.
