MASTODON drummer Brann Dailor recently spoke with About.com: Heavy Metal, about a number of topics, including the progress on the band's new album, the follow-up to Crack The Skye. An excerpt from the interview, conducted by Chad Bowar, follows:
Q: You're already hard at work on the next Mastodon album. How's that coming along?
A: "It's coming along really good. We're just about done. I'm excited to get into the studio and start recording."
Q: Have you been writing on the road, or do you wait until you're home and have some down time?
A: "The guitar players have been collecting riffs as we go while we're on tour. We have a little amp backstsage and they'll jam on some stuff and record it and get bits and pieces together. Then when we get home and have time to write a record we can dump all those parts out and see what fits together and what sounds good and what doesn't."
Q: Will it be out sometime this year?
A: "For sure. If we get it all wrapped up and everything is sounding great before we leave for Europe, it should be out by the end of summer. We don't mess around. But we'll see."
