So Adult Swim has kind of been killing it in the music department lately. You may remember our recent post on Maserati’s “Pyramid Of The Sun” — that video exists thanks to them. They’ve also premiered a new Best Coast track and video, “Gone Again,” as part of their Adult Swim Singles Program. The latest to come from this series is another audiovisual bundle for a band I’ve been anxious to hear new material from: Mastodon. “Deathbound” will not be on the Atlanta metal behemoths’ upcoming album, The Hunter. Rather, it’s a B-side of sorts that emerged from the recording sessions for their last full-length, Crack The Skye. The track’s a fast, brutal number showing Mastodon at their best. You could say the accompanying video is epic, although not in an operatic “Oblivion” sort of way. I’m thinking more along the lines of Mr. Rogers meets a bad Jim Henson acid trip. See for yourself above. The Hunter will be out this fall on Reprise.
