Episode Details

Mastodon’s long-awaited new album drops Friday, August 28th — their first in five years — forged in the fire of unimaginable loss. After parting ways with founding guitarist Brent Hinds and enduring the tragic deaths of both Hinds and Brann Dailor’s mother, the band channeled grief into raw, powerful music that wrestles with heartbreak while holding onto hope. Dailor reflects on the pain of losing a complicated but vital collaborator, yet insists the band remains united through music — seeing Mastodon as family. With guitarist Nick Johnston stepping in to carry the torch, they’ve turned sorrow into sound, proving resilience and artistry can coexist even in darkness.
