Mastodon announce new album, Hushed and Grim

Mastodon have announced a new album. On October 29, the group will release Hushed and Grim via Reprise. The band’s eighth album was produced by David Bottrill (King Crimson, Tool, Between the Buried and Me) and was recorded in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. That’s the album’s cover art above, designed by longtime collaborator Paul Romano, who also illustrated the artwork for past albums such as Leviathan and Crack the Skye.
