Isis is on my list. And Neurosis. And any band that has a burger named after them at Kuma's Corner.

From your comments all over this thread it looks like we'll both be seeing them at the Metro. We probably went to the same high school, too.

I have Blood Mountain, I just forgot to put it on my iPod because I'm a dumbshit. Leviathan and Remission are keeping me plenty busy for now, though. It's pretty excellent knowing I have two full albums left to immerse myself into.

Mastodon and metal in general
Speaking as a huge fan of rock in general, I've recently found myself under a metal resurgence. When I was a wee bastard I was heavily into Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, and Sepultura. I used to listen to Arise on the bus as a 12 year old wondering what kind of bullshit everyone else was…

There was some excellent commentary re: Lamb of God's new album not too long ago.

Yes!

Yes!
