During an interview with Heavy, Mastodon drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor commented on the band’s plans for new music. According to him, the group are getting ready to “start fine-tuning some of the [new] material.”
Dailor said the following:
“We’ve been writing. We were writing before the ‘[Ashes Of] Leviathan’ tour here in the States and Canada, and we’re just now digging back in because we sort of just got home from that tour. We were gone for two months and then we had a month and a half long of weekend-warrior stuff where we were going out and doing festivals on the weekends. And so you can’t really split your mind in two there and say, ‘Okay, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, we’re gonna work on new material, then we’re gonna drill the set, then we’re gonna get on a flight and go play this festival. Then we’re gonna come back up.’ It just doesn’t work like that. So, we’re digging back in. Actually, I think on Monday is when we really start fine-tuning some of the material that we had before.”
He also discussed Mastodon and Lamb Of God’s collaborative single “Floods Of Triton“:
“I wouldn’t say that the song is indicative of the new material, but I wouldn’t say that any single song would ever be indicative of the overall sound of anything that we were gonna come out with, because I think that we sort of pride ourselves on offering, especially when we’re putting out a full album, that’s got a lot of variety to it,” he said. “So it’s like a puzzle. I look at an album like a puzzle. There has to be balance there and everything sort of fits together and tells one long story, but it doesn’t necessarily all sound the same.”
