NWOAM (New Wave Of American Metal - ed.) band Mastodon's fans are eagerly anticipating a new release in 2014. Recording of the as yet untitled release is well underway under the guiding hand of producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice in Chains). Drummer Brann Dailoer is quoted by Rolling Stone as having said, "It's gonna be massive and insane, lots of epic greatness. There will be lots of huge riffs and new directions. It's real weird, real math-y, real straightforward. It's up, down and all around. It's a culmination of everything for the band. The snowball keeps rolling and collecting snow." The band has been pressed for a release date in several outlets yet kept their cards close to the vest, saying only that it will be in 2014 without fail.
