What is this band like? I have never really heard them, but a lot of people seem to dig their music.

I feel the same way.

I'd say far and away my favorite current heavy band out there.
Phenomenal. Heard the rough mixes during the Mayhem fest. Mindblowing.

I love Mastodon. I didn't dig Blood Mountain nearly as much as their first two though. I have some high hopes for this new one.

stoner/tech metal
how can you go wrong
far more enjoyable than dillinger escape plan from a listeners point of view
