-- Mastodon says no to Rasputin concept

Troy Sanders of Grammy nominated mammut metallers has just set the end for the rumours about the band's new albums theme.
"I'm glad people are speculating on what the record's gonna be. We want to keep some of the mystery behind it until the record hits the stands. But the record is not based on the life of Rasputin." told the bass player and the vocalist of the critically acclaimed band.
Sanders also give some hints about the musical direction of the upcoming record:
"Some of the guitar parts really space out. We paid a lot of attention to the vocal patterns. We really tried to become more melodic with the vocals, making them more intertwined with the songs. It's by far the biggest departure from record to record that we've done. A lot of the stuff on this record doesn't quite sound like us. You know it's us, because it's obvious that it is when you hear it. But on first listen, you don't know what the hell's going on."
