‘Expressing Universals: How Mastodon Channels Mythology & Elemental Storytelling Into Timeless Art - The Mastodon Podcast - Ep. 1’ releases on January 13, 2019 - nineteen years to the day of the band’s inception. By far and away my favourite band of all time, this series will dive into every aspect of Mastodon’s rich and highly detailed works, whether it’s long form lyric analysis, dissecting Herman Melville’s works, exploring occult traditions in Tzarist Russia, discussing and analysing the works of Joseph Campbell, and even profiling the Mastodon dudes themselves (@bhinds, @creamale, @billy_butterslax, and Troy), showcasing all their respective individual projects as well :) At its the core, this ongoing chronicle (leading up to and following their new record’s release) will be a weekly-ish celebration of the all-encompassing and endlessly innovating creative convergence that is @mastodonrocks :) Can’t wait to get started, and here’s to many more decades of their boundary-breaking, esoterically eclectic and powerful creations \m/ #Mastodon #MastodonBand #TroySanders #BillKelliher #BrentHinds #BrannDailor #PaulRomano (@workhardened) #AJFosik (@ajfosik) #Skinner (@theartofskinner) #Medusawolf (@_medusawolf_) #RicheyBeckett (@richeybeckett) #JosephCampbell (@josephcampbellfoundation) #TimelessArt https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqk_AYsFrfR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17wlx6cr7wblj
