Five years on from the expansive »Hushed And Grim«, »Marrow Deep« documents founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Bill Kelliher emerging from years of personal upheaval with a renewed sense of purpose and reinvigorated drive. Inspired by the Three Fates of Greek mythology and the fragile threads connecting life, loss, and destiny, »Marrow Deep« channels the intense personal experiences of the intervening years into some of the most expansive, adventurous, and emotionally resonant music of the band’s storied career. The album marks the band’s first full-length to feature guitarist Nick Johnston alongside significant contributions from keyboardist João Nogueira. »Marrow Deep« was co-produced by Mastodon at their own West End Sound in Atlanta with Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey, Charli XCX) and Kurt Ballou (High On Fire, Converge), was mixed by Andrew Scheps (Adele, Black Sabbath, Metallica), and includes a staggering roster of guests to be revealed soon.
New single »Snakes For Dinner« (which follows on the heels of last month’s immediate fan favorite »Your Ghost Again«, which ranked #2 on a Revolver reader’s poll of best songs of 2026 so far) is an emotionally charged epic featuring Josh Homme’s first appearance on a Mastodon recording since his contribution to »Colony Of Birchmen« on 2006’s »Blood Mountain«. Anchored by crushing riffs, and soaring melodies the song unveils the emotional core of »Marrow Deep«, reflecting on the lingering absence of those we’ve lost and the winding path ahead. Appropriately, the announcement follows last week’s release of the band’s short film, The »Mastodon In The Room«, an intimate document of the band as they attempt to process the unresolved grief surrounding the loss of founding guitarist Brent Hinds. The piece presents an extraordinary meditation on the legacy of their remarkable 25-year journey together while staying honest and candid about the relationship dynamic that led to the split.
While the film honored Mastodon’s past and the tragic path that led them to the current moment, »Marrow Deep« marks the beginning of an ambitious new era. The album preserves the crushing riffs, adventurous songwriting, and emotional depth that have long defined Mastodon, while a renewed sense of purpose pushes the band toward some of the most compelling music of their career. “Bill, Brann, and myself are thrilled that we still have the opportunity to do this, and we’ve got other members who are just over the moon to be in the band with us,” Sanders says. “That’s a magical feeling that makes us keep wanting to go to band practice. It’s reminiscent of the very beginning of our band, where all members are hungry, we’re united, and excited to get to work. And we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to do this record.”
