US sludge metallers Mastodon launch brand new single »Your Ghost Again«; European tour starts today!

Atlanta, Georgia based sludge metallers Mastodon are back with their brand new single »Your Ghost Again«, out now via Loma Vista Recordings.

»Your Ghost Again« is now available on all major streaming platforms!

Mastodon’s drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor says about the new track:

“For me, »Your Ghost Again« is about when you lose somebody that’s close to you that you existed with for most of your life – or your whole life. It’s those moments when you’re in those familiar places that you’ve always been with that person, and then, after they’re gone, you see them out of the corner of your eye, and it makes you sad because they’re not there. When we were in the studio recording, I kept seeing Brent. I’d see him on my right holding the guitar because that’s where he’d usually be.

It’s the same with my mom: I keep seeing her. And you get a little jolt of excitement because you think you’re actually seeing them, but then you remember they’re not here and it takes you down a notch. So, it’s these big relationships for me that became the subject matter of the song. I was just singing about what I was seeing, and I was seeing ghosts.”
