I was think, the 'don seem to have brought out some albums that everyone loves and gives top reviews for, but have they influenced anybands? i can think of Taint, but im sure there should be more.

Shut up kid and eat yer supper.
You know you shouldn't be up this late.

Isnt he 43?
No way pal.

C'mon, make it happen.

Allright, don't tell anyone though.

Baroness and Intronaut spring to mind right away.

Lars tried to emulate some aspects of Brann's drumming in The Day That Never Comes.

Iron Maiden has found great inspiration from Slickleg.

Burnt By The Sun
Prowess


man, i suck at this.

uhm, yea... Burst

Bison BC? Anyone?

They've influenced me.

Led Zeppelin

Im sure there are plenty of bands influenced by Mastodon out there. But they all haven't been noticed yet. I mean come on. Mastodon just a few years ago started becoming one of those bands most everyone has heard about. They are defiantly a more popular band now then they were before Blood Mountain was released. And that was only back in 06. Its gonna be awhile before we actually see bands who claim they have influence from Mastodon. Thats how i see it at least.

This.

There are similar-sounding ones now who have taken some influence, but I think that the true influence will show up within a few years when we have people who are ripping off Mastodon so hard its not even funny.

you can really see their influence in I Set My Friends On Fire, mainly in the vocals.

I think it can easily be argued that the band has been seminal in the underground at least since Leviathan.

are you music?

Try since Lifesblood and especially since Remission. These guys weren't unknowns when they started, Brann and Bill were fresh out of Today Is The Day, and ever since the "In The Eyes Of God" album came out, people knew who they were and were talking about them.

In The Eyes of God is so damn good....Mayari is my personal favorite.

Taint released Ruin Of Nova Roma when the band had been together for more than ten years, and their sound hasn't changed that dramatically. To say that Mastodon is their main influence would be inaccurate and unfair.

The now sadly departed Mirimar Disaster definitely wore their love of Mastodon on their sleeves and chests.

Amen to that.

True that.

You guys need to check out a band called Sweet Cobra from Chicago. Hell they even have a song called Leviathan. Minsk also comes to mind.
