Mastodon are one of the biggest bands in modern metal and it’s no surprise. The band have released five albums now, each to critical acclaim, with 2004’s Leviathan being featured in many “best albums of the 21st century” lists. Tracks like “Blood and Thunder” and “Curl of the Burl” are some of the most iconic metal anthems in recent memory. All this combined makes their upcoming album, Once More Around the Sun one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2014. And since a bad quality version of their new track, “High Road” has appeared online, the band have decided to treat fans with the proper studio version.
