Our Take
Our Take
When Mastodon released "Fallen Torches," we were left wondering if they were secretly sponsored by Red Bull because this album is a non-stop adrenaline rush. From the opening track "Fallen Torches," which hits you like a sledgehammer to the face, to the mind-bending complexity of "Pushing the Tides," Mastodon proves once again why they are legends in the metal world.
The band's signature blend of sludgy riffs, thunderous drums, and haunting melodies is on full display here, showing off their technical prowess and songwriting virtuosity. Tracks like "Rufus Lives" and "Hagamemnon" are like a rollercoaster ride through a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with twists and turns that will leave you breathless.
But it's not all thrash and burn on "Fallen Torches." Mastodon also knows how to dial it back, as shown in the hauntingly beautiful "Crack the Skye" and the epic closer "Show Yourself." These moments of respite provide a nice balance to the onslaught of metal fury that permeates the rest of the album.
Overall, "Fallen Torches" is a testament to Mastodon's enduring talent and creativity. It's a wild, unpredictable ride that will have you headbanging one minute and contemplating the mysteries of the universe the next. So grab a Red Bull, strap in, and prepare to be blown away by one of the best metal albums of the year.
