Open The Floodgates With BRANN DAILOR From MASTODON

While Good Things 2024 boasts a stellar line-up of hard rock and
metal bands - including Korn, Kerry King, Northlane, Alpha Wolf and
From Ashes To New - the band on everybody's lips as a must see on
the day is Mastodon.
Since emerging in 2000 the Atlanta quartet have defied both sonic
and thematic boundaries with an uncategorizable, undeniable, and
uncompromising vision unlike anything else in music. Quite simply,
Mastodon have quietly evolved into one of the most influential,
inimitable, and iconic rock bands of the modern era.
Following their recent collaboration on single Floods Of Triton
with Lamb Of God, Mastodon have found themselves in perpetual
motion on the road, leading them all the way to Australia where
fans are already counting down the days.
HEAVY caught up with drummer Brann Dailor to find out more. We
start by asking if he gets excited about touring as part of a
festival line-up as he does his own headlining shows.
"They're different," he mused. "I'm just happy to be there. I'm
excited to get up on stage and play in front of anybody. I don't
care if there's five people there, I don't care if there's 10,000
people there, I give the same exact show every time. I'm not gonna
say if it's something crazy like opening for Iron Maiden… there's
been moments in my life with big shows that I'm very, very excited
to be a part of it, but I like playing. I like being at festivals.
I don't care if we're playing during the day or if it's at night.
(I've had) A lot of pinch me moments in my life where I can't
believe I do this for a living. I try to ride it out
(laughs)."
In the full interview, Brann goes through some of the other bands
on the Good Things line-up and shares experiences playing with
them, reveals what we can expect from Mastodon live, their new song
with Lamb Of God, creating music with another metal heavyweight,
upcoming new material, and more.
