Several members of Mastodon have gone back to the stone age in a just released ad for the new signature TAMA snare drum from the band’s drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor. In the caveman-themed short, Dailor, his Mastodon bandmate Troy Sanders, and even Sanders‘ son Yuri, all appear in a way befitting of a band named Mastodon.
The proggy sludge metallers had Video Rahim & Bryan Bankovich co-direct this clip, which follows a somewhat similar trip back in time members of the band took earlier this year for their Tiki mug line.
Look for Mastodon out celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2004 opus “Leviathan” on the road this summer with Lamb Of God (performing “Ashes Of The Wake“), Kerry King, Unearth & Malevolence also on the bill:
