LABEL: RELAPSE
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 08/18/2023
VARIANT: Neon Violet Vinyl 2LP

Mastodon have never remained stagnant, and they’ve made that abundantly clear since the first few notes of “Crusher Destroyer.” The Atlanta juggernaut’s 2002 debut full-length is stuffed with frenzied rhythms, prickly leads, chugging riffs and bellowing vocals that congealed into a sound unlike anything else of their era — or any era since. Our 2LP version that comes on gorgeous “Neon Violet" vinyl is a must-own for the packaging alone, let alone the beastly songs.
