Mastodon

Three years have passed since our last visit to the Czech Republic's biggest metal festival, Brutal Assault, and its 21st edition was the perfect excuse to head back into the embrace of the former Josefov military fortress.

Mastodon? This time more of a "scrawny trumpeter". What we've got here is the least interesting and softest Mastodon record yet, one that actually (and this is quite the astonishing finding) cuts the umbilical cord with metal.

After the fiery elemental of their debut, Mastodon dive into the ocean depths and drag out a biblical sea monster that initiates you even more convincingly into a world of cruel giants and metal psychedelia.

Mastodon reach for the elementals, and the first one they unleash is the purest and most primal of them all: fire.

After a full day of Nickelsdorf sun beating down on us, it was time for the first interview. In the white press tent we were sorted into groups, and one of the sheets showed that we'd landed the interview with Mastodon. Mast
