EMPEROR OF SAND (VINYL)

2LP VINYL PRESSING

After sonic journeys inspired by fire, water, earth, air, and the cycles of life, GRAMMY Award-nominated hard rock band Mastodon ponder the nature of time on their eighth full-length album, Emperor Of Sand, set for release in March, 2017.

Threading together the myth of a man sentenced to death in a majestically malevolent desert, the Atlanta, GA quartet-Troy Sanders (bass/vocals), Brent Hinds ( guitar/vocals), Bill Kelliher (guitar) and Brann Dailor (drums/vocals), and conjure the grains of a musical and lyrical odyssey slipping quickly through a cosmic hourglass.

Emperor of Sand siphons raw emotion through the framework of an immersive story and intricate musicianship, digging to the core of what defines Mastodon and all timeless rock 'n' roll.
