New Album 'Emperor of Sand' available now: wbr.ec/emperorofsand

Earlier this year we released a 12-part series showing the making of our album ‘Emperor of Sand.’ We’ve cut it all together, added over 30 minutes of never before seen footage and turned it into a documentary! This is a deep look into the making of the album and the inspiration behind the music. With the GRAMMY nominations Emperor of Sand has received this week, we thought it was the perfect time to release it. We hope you enjoy the documentary. If you do, feel free to share it!

Thanks to Jimmy Hubbard helping us put this together!

    i don't know why this album is getting hate. It's fuckin fantastic.
  • Everyone talking seriously about the album. Except Brent. You do you Brent.
  • @TheGuitarifier
    I love how Brent offers no actual insight at all. Hahahaha

    “I played more than one note a couple of times” - Brent Hinds
  • Drugs did Brent once... they woke up in hospital a month later swearing they would never do it again.
  • @linusfotograf
    This might be the best ”making of” music documentary ever made. It’s from the heart.

    I'm a old dude, and a complete Randy Rhoads guitar head,and haven't really felt new music since the early 80's to 90's but Mastodon I've loved since they came out, they made me love music again, they are a incredible band, but they have progressed so much, it's a beautiful musical representation. I'm a 47 year old Black man from Houston Tx. ,and they are coming here in March, can't wait to see them for the first time. Congrats on the grammy guys you hella deserve it!!!!

    Troy, the bassy most funniest. Brann, the geniously drumming very ironic cleverest. Brent, the absolute melody and solo-most-masterest. Bill, the Riffest. Mastodon - THE most bestest band of our thyme.
  • @slupot
    I love that mastadon isn't a frontman with a group of forgettable band mates. It seems that they are ALL frontmen. Also it is obvious that this music comes from ALL of the members, from the heart and soul. The emotion put into every note, riff, verse, fill is genius. They all seem to be laid back and down to earth. I dont get a sense of superiority coming from them.
  • @jesseskander
    LMFAO when Brent says "Oh my goodness you have the voice of Fergie mixed with Jesus"
  • I admire how they are each other’s cheerleader. They have nothing but great things to say about each member. That is probably a reason to their longevity.

    I feel that Brent is what you get when you put all your character skill points in musicianship. I can´t relate to him at all and just don´t get him when he speaks, but when I hear and see him play or sing he just opens portals in to other dimensions and stuff just makes sense. It´s so abstract and ineffable - I love it.
  • These guys are in my age bracket (I'm 45) and their attitude towards their craft is so healthy. Yeah, I know, their vocals live aren't the best. I don't care, I'm such a fan.

    24:40 "when Hitler delivered the Gettysburg address, that's the amp he used" - Dailor, Brann 2017
  • @yoyoz333
    has anyone ever thought that Brent's vocals sound like Ozzy osbourne? Also, i think Brent is slowly turning into John C. Reilly
  • I'd say Brent is one of the few unique guitarists there is in the modern world, I've never heard anyone sound anything quite like him.
  • As both a huge Mastodon fan and a cancer survivor myself, I love you all! What an inspiration this album is. It has depth and still rocks and really hits home for me since this was the year I was diagnosed and recovered from cancer. I got the pleasure to speak with you all in depth after your concert in Charleston, SC and you all are the real deal. You didn't have to talk to me, but each one of you came out and talked to me and we talked about cancer, and life and music and it still sticks with me just how much you all are sincere. Sincere in your music, sincere in your relationships with each other and your fans and sincerely great people. Thank you for all that you do as your music not only provides such a great escape but helps me and others dive into the creative and try to be bold in both music and life! This making of just drives home the passion that you all have for your craft. Keep it up. I love you guys!
