The most profound event was undoubtedly the death of Brent Hinds. Now, almost exactly a year later, Mastodon return with a new album, and... Continue Reading →
Time flies. It’s hard to believe that 36 years have already passed since Kamelot released their debut album. The veterans of symphonic metal got started at a time when grunge and nu metal were making their way into the charts.
