Mastodon - Leviathan

Review by Mat Hocking

This is something that’s living and breathing, that’s calculating and unpredictable; a lumbering beast with fire in its eyes and vehemence in its stride. It’s a sound that burns with a strangely majestic malevolence; an animalistic charge that bolts out of the speakers with a tremor-like force, and flinching wildly against the kind of off-kilter syncopation that their Swedish forefathers mastered years ago. The future of metal? You’d better believe it.»
