Mastodon Announces New Album Hushed and Grim For October 2021 Release

The Grammy Award-winning metal band Mastodon has announced their upcoming album Hushed and Grim which is set to release on October 29.

Hushed and Grim is the group’s highly anticipated ninth full-length album marking Mastodon’s first double album and newest record since their 2017 release Emperor of Sand.

The metal quartet recorded the album in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia and it is said to be their most ambitious body of work to date. Grappling with the concepts of loss and loneliness, Mastodon hopes to embody these elements in their newest work remembering their longtime manager Nick John who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018.

The group was also recently added to the 2022 Download Festival lineup in the United Kingdom scheduled for June 10-12. Mastodon is set to perform on Saturday, June 11 on the festival’s Second Stage.
