Mastodon’s Heavy Return with New Lineup | Music News

Mastodon’s new album “Marrow Deep” marks a bold, heavier turn from their introspective “Hushed and Grim,” channeling the riff-driven fury of their “Leviathan” era. Fresh guitarist Nick Johnston and more involved keyboardist João Nogueira helped shape this collaborative five-piece sound — the first time everyone contributed to writing. The band is hitting the road on “The Poisonous Weapons Tour” with Deafheaven and Alcest, starting September 16 in Orlando and ending October 24 in Dallas. This new chapter also comes after the tragic loss of founding guitarist Brent Hinds in March 2025 — his legacy lives on as Nick steps into his role, ushering in a powerful, evolved Mastodon for the next era.
