[youtube]https://youtu.be/nK4WYmTOjdI[/youtube] Of all the current metal bands out there, few have embraced vinyl more than Mastodon. With all of their Reprise catalog available on vinyl in multiple editions and their Relapse albums also having been released more than once, there’s no excuse for you the discerning Mastodon vinyl junkie to not be able to get […]

We knew that Catch the Throne: The Mixtape Vol. 2 was coming, and we knew it was coming before the April 12 premiere of the fifth season of Game of Thrones on HBO. Then Mastodon became the first band to unveil a full track from it, when the beautiful “White Walker” was released earlier this week. While it […]

We first heard that Mastodon would be on the forthcoming “Catch the Throne” mixtape when Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach told us back in December off the record while we were talking to him at an Opeth show (yeah, I know, we dropped something).

[youtube]http://youtu.be/0D_NIIiXcZU[/youtube] #Anthraxalbum2015. That’s the hashtag that keeps reminding us that there will be a new album from Anthrax at some point this year. It really seems like we might have new albums from three of the big four this year, and with Metallica working on 20 songs, who knows what could happen? At any rate, […]

We still don’t know a hell of a lot about the forthcoming “Catch the Throne” mixtape that’s coming out in conjunction with the fifth season of Game of Thrones. We know Killswitch Engage is on it, and we’ve heard a snippet of their song, “Loyalty House Martell.” We also know that Method Man, Snoop Dop, […]

Winter is coming. Oh wait, it’s already here. What we meant to say is that Catch the Throne: The Mixtape, Vol. 2, the second installation of Game of Thrones mixtape, is coming, and Killswitch Engage have given us a glimpse of what their track sounds like. “Loyalty” is what the band’s contribution is called, and while […]

[youtube]http://youtu.be/BxmBQOPXmhs[/youtube] There aren’t really any shows on TV right now that are more metal than Game of Thrones. Gratuitous sex, violence, dragons and a chair made out of swords? While it’s no wonder that a lot of heavy bands have gravitated towards the show, it’s managed to pick up quite a few non-metal fans. Regardless, we […]
