ONCE MORE 'ROUND THE SUN (PICTURE DISC)

Double picture disc vinyl LP pressing. Art is a cyclical beast. The same can easily be said of Grammy Award nominated hard rock juggernaut Mastodon. The group s four members recognize the importance of life s omnipresent cycles on their sixth full-length album Once More Round the Sun. The band orbits around themes of loss and rebirth twirling a sonic spiral of it s signature robust riffing hypnotically haunting soundscapes triage of dynamic voices and thundering seismic grooves. - The very title says something slightly different for each member. quot;Quite literally Once More Round the Sun means a year-in-the-life quot; explains Dailor. quot;Lyrically we were discussing things that happened to us recently whereas in the past we looked further back for inspiration. It s about 365 days in this band. It was a tough and strange journey. We happened to be in the middle of completing a full rotation musically as everything else was going on.quot;.
