Mastodon – Leviathan (Blue Vinyl) LP on Sale

The record that launched Mastodon into the upper echelon of major label metal bands! With an ageless magnificence and rich musical imagination, Mastodon unleashed their second album Leviathan in 2004, an unabated testimonial to the band s earthshaking ability to rock. Their thundering musical muscle, talent and vast sea of ideas triumphantly unite on Leviathan, delivering heavy, organic music that melds exhilarating ambitiousness with a well-honed accessibility. Pitchfork hailed: With their 2004 beast, the aptly titled Leviathan, Mastodon finally find their niche as a thinking man s metal band. Blending Voivod s neuro-thrash, Therion s majestic gloom, Morbid Angel s spirit of restless and morphing liquid black melody, and EyeHateGod s Southern rock gone awry, Leviathan is nothing short of supernatural. Evincing a decade s worth of maturity gained in just two short years, Mastodon have authored a bombastic modern interpretation of Herman Melville s Moby Dick, the classic metaphor for mortality s eternal (and unwinnable) struggle with divine injustice.
