Mastodon have revealed a few more details on their upcoming album — including the disc’s title. The record, which will be called The Hunter, doesn’t yet have a released date but the band are finishing the recording process.
.
The Atlanta metal group have also announced several song titles from the record — which are pretty amazing. These include: “Blasteroids,” “Stargasm,” “The Octopus Has No Friends” and “Curl of the Burl.” Mastodon have been recording the album at Doppler Studios in Atlanta with producer Mike Elizondo and from the sound of things it will be a decidedly different album.
.
Guitarist Brent Hinds told Rolling Stone, “It sounds pretty different than anything we’ve ever done. It’s un-comparable!” He also told SPIN.com, “Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye— those albums took too long to make. This only took us a couple weeks to record and there’s a totally different feeling to it. It’s a jump-on-your-bed, get naked, and go streaking kind of record. I haven’t had this feeling about a Mastodon record since [2004's] Leviathan. It’s just fucking awesome.”
.

He added, “We’ve got a song about fighting, there’s a song about lifting heavy stuff, there’s a song about people on meth creeping around in trees trying to get the best wood grain out of a tree to sell it at Lowe’s for [drug] money… The album is kind of silly. We’re taking the piss out of things.”
.
We’ll let you guess which song title goes with which description.
