BLOOD MOUNTAIN

Mastodon have created a fantastic brand of prog/tech metal and this would be my number one metal record of 2006. There are no weak songs, but obviously some stand out more than others.

Best Songs--- The Wolf Is Loose: A blistering opener with fantastically manic vocals - 10/10 Crystal Skull: Follows strong with lethally addictive vocal work - 9/10 Capillarian Crest: One of the contemporary tech-metal masterpieces.... some seriously intense guitarwork - 9/10 Colony of Birchmen: Fantastic main riff, and consistent throughout
