Album Overview
"Hushed and Grim" stands as Mastodon's monumental eighth studio album, a magnum opus released on October 29, 2021, via Reprise Records. Breaking new ground, it marks the band's debut double album, a testament to their creative depth and sonic ambition. Notably absent is Scott Kelly of Neurosis, whose vocals have been a staple since Mastodon's inception, his withdrawal from the public eye unveiled only in August 2022.
In a poignant tribute to their late manager Nick John, who succumbed to cancer in 2018, the album's thematic core resonates with his memory, a lyrical homage woven into its very fabric. Renowned artist Paul Romano, known for his evocative Mastodon covers, crafts a mesmerizing visual narrative. The album artwork, a stunning creation by Romano, portrays a dormant tree morphing into an ethereal figure, arms outstretched in a haunting embrace. Within its gnarled branches, the visage of Nick John peers forth, his spirit forever intertwined with the band's legacy.
