Mastodon's metal is described as progressive rock with wall-punching rhythms, blasting riffs and shrieking guitar leads. They belong to the pre-Hair Metal era of fantasy-ridden lyrics and cult themes. Mastodon hail from Atlanta.
The Grammy-nominated "Blood Mountain" 'Blood Mountain' is about a quest to climb a mountain made of blood to capture a crystal skull (The nomination was for the single "Colony Of Birchmen" in the "Best Metal Performance" category).
The previous 'Leviathan' album was inspired by Herman Melville's classic 'Moby Dick'.

Note: Mastodons are elephant-like animals with large teeth and tusks. They became extinct more than 13,000 years ago.
