Mastodon - Video Premiere Of 'Dry Bone Valley'!

This past September, Atlanta's Art Rock masters Mastodon released their fifth studio album entitled "The Hunter" via Reprise/Warner Bros. The reaction of the public so far has exceeded the bands expectations. The album actually debuted at the No. 10 spot on the Billboard charts after moving 39,000 units in its first week, marking their highest charting release to date.

Yesterday, the band premiered a video for their song "Dry Bone Valley". If you haven't seen it, get your eyes ready and crank it up to 11!

As previously reported, Mastodon, Opeth and Ghost will be teaming up for a U.S. tour in April. This is what Troy Sanders (Vocalist/Bassist of Mastodon) said when asked about Mastodon's plans for the immediate future:
