Mastodon Biography

"Mastodon" is an American heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1999. The band comprises bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist/vocalist Bill Kelliher and drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor. They have released four full-length albums to date, expanding their musical borders from early raw sludge and post-hardcore riffs to later psychedelic multi-layered songs, yet maintaining a retro, progressive style ranging from unusual time signatures to odd instrumentation. One of the key factors to their success is continuous touring all over the world, creating growing fan bases with each new release.
