{"product_id":"mastodon-remission-2lp-violet","title":"Mastodon - Remission [2LP Violet]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemission is where Mastodon first came stampeding out of Atlanta, and this double LP on violet vinyl gives the 2002 debut all the room it needs to roar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased on Relapse and produced with Matt Bayles, it introduced the lineup that would define the band: Brann Dailor on drums, Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher on guitars and Troy Sanders on bass, with Hinds and Sanders sharing the bellowing vocals. Fire runs through the songs as a recurring image, and Dailor has said the title speaks of forgiveness and healing after the loss of his sister. That grief gives the record a ferocity that feels personal rather than staged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings begin with a roar, literally, as \"Crusher Destroyer\" kicks off with a dinosaur's bellow before two minutes of sheer stampede. \"March of the Fire Ants\" sets galloping riffs against a crushing groove, and the eight-minute \"Elephant Man\" closes the album with the patient, winding ambition that would define their later work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning through all of it is Dailor's astonishing drumming, busy, intricate and somehow always in control. It is sludge metal with a progressive brain and a hardcore heart, heavy enough to flatten but too clever to be predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore the concept albums and the arena stages, this is the beast in its rawest form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67762480152866,"sku":"781676501717","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Mastodon-Remission_2LP_Violet.jpg?v=1794315226","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/mastodon-remission-2lp-violet","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
