GRAMMY Award-winning progressive sludge metal band Mastodon have announced the details for their ninth studio album “Marrow Deep“. This effort of course will emerge as their first without the participation of their late former guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds. The band and Hinds parted ways in early 2025, with Hinds tragically passing away in August of last year in a motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, that split took place on unamicable terms.
This new 12-song offering has been confirmed for an August 28th release date through the band’s latest label home of Loma Vista Recordings and has just been preceded by its second single, “Snakes For Dinner“. A video for that new track is now streaming below and both it and the song boast a cameo from Queens Of The Stone Age nucleus Josh Homme. Longtime fans of both outfits are likely aware that Homme last guested on Mastodon‘s “Colony Of Birchmen” from their 2006 album “Blood Mountain“, if you discount his additional bonus feature on that record.
Mastodon themselves said of the track and the announcement of this new opus:
“You have all been asking for it, so we are excited to announce our new album, ‘Marrow Deep‘, will be released August 28th, 2026 and we are kicking it off with a new video for our new song ‘Snakes For Dinner‘, which features an appearance from our long time friend, Josh Homme.
It’s been quite the journey making this album, and we are very happy with how it came out, we can not wait for you to hear the whole thing! Until then, check out the new video, and pre-order a copy of the album today. Stay tuned, we’l keep bringing you updates, content and bunch of other cool fun stuff!
As always, thank you for being part of our world. We look forward to seeing you all on the Poisonous Weapons Tour and beyond!”
