Mastodon’s upcoming new album, which follows their 2014 release Once More ‘Round The Sun, will tell the story of "a desert-like version of the Grim Reaper," drummer-singer-lyricist Brann Dailor tells Rolling Stone.
The still-untitled set, due out in spring 2017, is produced again by Brendan O'Brien, who first worked with Mastodon on their 2009 ground-breaking concept album, Crack The Skye.
"Time is a very big theme of the album," Dailor says. "How much time do we have left? What are we doing with our time?"
"I get a little movie going in my head about a situation and I start writing about that," Dailor continues. "I try really hard to make it personal and relatable and not too esoteric. It's embarrassing to write lyrics. I'm a drummer, and I sing a little bit. Together we tackle these things and we figure it out – how to be this vocally driven band that has three people singing that don't want to sing."
