Anticipated Albums: Mastodon- Emperor Of Sand

 

 

Mastodon are one of the best bands to come out since the turn of the century. They have evolved as a band in the best possible way without compromising their artistic integrity. All of their albums, with the exception of The Hunter, are classics and influential. Their ability to write “albums” sets them apart from their peers in the rock and metal circles. Their new album Emperor Of Sand (in stores March 31,2017), is gearing up to be an album of the year contender. From the three songs released, you can tell that Troy, Brann, Bill, and Brent are in sync and ready to deliver another gem.

Anticipated Albums: Giraffe Tongue Orchestra

Giraffe Tongue Orchestra is a collective of some really great musicians from some really awesome bands. Brent Hinds from Mastodon, Ben Weinman from The Dillinger Escape Plan, William DuVall from Alice In Chains and Thomas Pridgen formerly of the Mars Volta. What you get when all these talented people play together is something that is a bit funky, a bit rock, and genuinely artistic.

Anticipated Albums: Deftones- Gore

I really don’t feel the need to write a lengthy explanation of why this new Deftones album is very anticipated. The band just released the first single “Prayers/Triangles” from their forthcoming album GORE. This song is the first track on the album and it has a vibe that seems to set up a very adventurous yet very Deftones-esque album. Check it out!!!

Anticipated Albums: Killswitch Engage- Incarnate

 

Back in 2013 after many years away from Killswitch Engage, singer Jesse Leach came back to the band. The result was astounding and the album Disarm The Descent that marked his return was fantastic. Now in 2016, the band is back and ready to unleash their next album, Incarnate. March 11th can’t come soon enough!!!
