Grammy-winning rock band will release Marrow Deep, their ninth studio album, next month
Mastodon will release a new album, Marrow Deep, on Aug. 28 via Loma Vista Recordings. The group previewed the LP with single “Snakes For Dinner,” which features guest vocals from Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.
Marrow Deep follows 2021’s Hushed and Grim, and was created by the band’s founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Bill Kelliher. The album was “inspired by the three fates of Greek mythology and the fragile threads connecting life, loss, and destiny” and “channels the intense personal experiences of the intervening years into some of the most expansive, adventurous, and emotionally resonant music of the band’s storied career,” according to a statement.
It’s the band’s first full-length to feature guitarist Nick Johnston, as well as contributions from keyboardist João Nogueira. It was co-produced by Mastodon at their own West End Sound in Atlanta with Patrik Berger and Kurt Ballou. “Snakes for Dinner” is Homme’s first appearance on a Mastodon recording 2006’s “Colony of Birchmen.”
