Mastodon is: Brann Dailor - Drums Brent Hines - Guitar and Vocals Troy Sanders - Bass and Vocals Bill Kelliher - Guitars Mastodon is metal act hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. They simply defy categorization, but if I were to attempt to label them, it would be something along the lines of prog-death/sludge, but that's pretty insufficient. The band draws inspiration from lots of different bands, so to truly understand Mastodon, you must hear Mastodon. Their latest release, Leviathan, is a concept album that doesn't suck, which is worthy of praise for this alone. It's based on the story of Moby Dick. The band never sounds confined to the story, as thematic elements of the novel are addressed without summarizing the novel. This release is remarkably ambient, unlike their previous full-length, Remission. Every track is different and the CD may take a few listens to fully appreciate all that the band has to offer. The musicianship is top-notch; although the guitarist and the bassist (also vocalist) are completely proficient, the drummer steals the show. He's a master on the skins, providing some of the most exciting fills that perfectly fit the song. His excellence never comes off as 'showy', and at times, some of the more simpler stuff he plays is the most impressive. In addition to the aforementioned full-length release Remission, Mastodon has an earlier LP, Lifesblood. Urban Dictionary

The greatest band in metal music today, recently surpassing Tool, even though they are heavily inspired by tool, their new album Crack the Skye is basically what 10k days would of sounded like if Tool gave a shit anymore, not saying tool sucks, just that they dont give a shit... cuz their fucking tool... you know? Mastodon kind of sound like Rush meets Frank Zappa meets Tool meets Radiohead meets Ozzy Osbourne meets Lynyrd Skynyard and a whole bunch of other shit. The only insult you can make towards this great band is that they just sound like a bunch of bands combined, but then again it is pretty amazing that they cross to many genre's and different bands to make their own unique sound. New album Crack The Skye is absolutely incredible... "the czar" and "the last baron" sounds like Jesus came back to earth and made metal music.... seriously. Urban Dictionary

A band that is so metal it's scary. Urban Dictionary

Great unholy weilders of the... LINOLEUM KNIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!! Urban Dictionary

1) An enormous, wooled elephant existing since before the time of modern man.

A free, open-source, decentralized social network. Anyone can create or join an "instance" of Mastodon, where an instance is a unique domain name, and instances can be "federated" with each other so someone using one instance can interact with users on another instance. Comparable to email, where a Gmail user can email with a Yahoo mail user and vice versa. Comparable to Twitter, but less corporate and fewer Nazis. However, admins can run their instances however they wish, and may choose to allow/prohibit/monitor content that includes racism and other -isms, pornography, violence, etc. The service allows posts to be placed behind a content warning (CW), and allows media to be marked as NSFW, and can be posted publicly, to followers only, as a direct message, or unlisted (where the post is public, but does not show in the federated timeline). Most instances allow posts to contain 500 characters available, and some instances allow much longer posts. Posts are called "toots," and reposts are called "boosts," but instances can be customized to fit a theme or other preferences. Usernames are formatted as @[email protected], such as @[email protected], where user @gargon is on the instance mastodon.social. Urban Dictionary

Mastodon is, besides an extinct mammal and a metal band, a decentralized open-source social media tool. If I'm understanding it correctly, there are a lot of different servers running mastodon software. These are called instances. People with accounts on one instance can interact with people on other instances. All these instances together are called a federation. It seems to be particulary popular with people who are fed up with twitter, because of it's lack of ads and increased discourse between people running the instances and people using it. It also seems to be popular among japanese people, for two of the biggest instances are japanese language, one of which is hosted by pixiv. It is also possible to host a private mastodon instance that is invisible to outsiders. This could prove very helpful for companies.

The new kings of the heavy metal world. They are a prog-sludge metal fusion, with their earlier releases leaning towards sludge metal and their later releases leaning towards a prog-sludge fusion. Their 2004 albumn Leviathan is a classic record and their 2006 albumn Blood Mountain launched them into the mainstream. They have a new albumn, Crack the Skye, coming out Spring 2009. All of their albums center around a different element and story 9with the exception of Remission, which loosely focuses on fire). Remission is fire, Leviathan is water, Blood Mountain is earth, and Crack the Skye focuses on aether. Remission (2002) Leviathan (2004) Blood Mountain (2006) Crack the Skye (2009) Urban Dictionary

The new coming of metal. Leviathan is fucking amazing. Extremely talented. The vocalists do some scream/singing, but they do it with insane talent. The drummer is unbelievable. The guitarist is pretty good, he is not exceptional, but I wouldn't want any more out of it. Urban Dictionary

A four-piece metal band from Atlanta. The grestest metal band of the last 10 years, Mastodon have released two full length albums and one EP. Lifesblood (EP, 2001 Relapse) Remission (LP, 2002 Relapse) Leviathan (LP, 2004 Relapse) They own your fucking soul. Urban Dictionary
