Mastodon have rightfully built a name for themselves as one of the biggest bands in modern metal. The foursome have time and time again successfully found a great balance of complexity and accessibility. This has been true since the heavy sludge-inspired metal of Remission to the progressive Crack the Skye and the more mainstream sounding The Hunter. The other great thing about this band is their dedication to progress. Each release sounds different and they certainly aren’t afraid to alienate fans. But has their new release, Once More ‘Round the Sun managed to keep these trends going or have the band faltered under the success of The Hunter.
