HUSHED AND GRIM, the ninth full-length studio album from GRAMMY® award-winning heavy rock legends Mastodon is available now via Reprise Records at all digital retailers and in vinyl and physical configurations. This is the first double album from the internationally acclaimed quartet and first new record since 2017’s Emperor of Sand, which garnered the “Best Metal Performance” and their first win for the five-time GRAMMY® nominees and topped the Billboard Top Album Sales and Hard Rock Charts, and HIT #7 on the Billboard 200.

HUSHED AND GRIM was recorded in their hometown of Atlanta over the past year and produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Rush, Muse, Peter Gabriel) Their most ambitious body of work to date, it consists of 15 disparate tracks, surveying a confluence of textures that include rock, psychedelia, punk, metal, alternative, and prog interwoven by their innately expressive musical interplay of these virtuosic musicians. An atmospheric canvas very real of loss, loneliness, and longing permeates through the trio of cathartic vocals as they musically say goodbye to old friend, confidant, and longtime manager the late Nick John by architecting a magnum opus that bears the influence of his eternal memory.

Opening up this world, the band shared a pair of expansive new tracks including the gnashing “Pushing The Tides” and the elegiac and haunting first official single from the album “Teardrinker.” “Sickle and Peace,” is the most recent track to be revealed from HUSHED AND GRIM and one that displays a very different side of the band. This past week, Troy Sanders caught up with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe who premiered “Sickle and Peace” on his show for their New Music Daily spotlight.

For as much as HUSHED AND GRIM is steeped in one of the darkest periods of the band’s career as each member experiencing personal grief, its light shines through in a fully realized manifestation everything Mastodon is right now.

Once again, Mastodon have drafted in revered artist Paul Romano (Remission, Leviathan, Call of the Mastodon, Blood Mountain, Crack The Skye) whose evocative images adorns the cover of HUSHED AND GRIM. The album artwork will also be featured on a new line of official Mastodon merch including various fan bundles and product combinations that are available in the bands store today.
