BLOOD MOUNTAIN

Another very strong album from Mastodon. Once agian they've managed to up the musicianship and diversity and produce one huge record. While Leviathan had pretty much one coheisive sound, Blood Mountain finds the boys experimenting with multiple styles that range from Power metal to hardcore, math-metal, full blown prog, and blues. Highlights include The Wolf is Loose with its chaotic drumming, Capillarian Crest, and Siberian Divide. This is definitely aa good an introduction to the band as any of their other albums and should appeal to ANYONE that like's metal.
