Mastodon release new song ‘Fallen Torches’

MASTODON have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Fallen Torches (a previously unreleased number), is taken from the Atlanta-based juggernauts’ upcoming new rarities collection, Medium Rarities, which is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Reprise Records.

The upcoming album presents a bevy of classic covers, soundtrack contributions, instrumentals, B-sides, and live recordings on one complete package for the very first time. Among an eclectic array of covers, the musicians tackle A Commotion by FEIST, A Spoonful Weighs A Ton by THE FLAMING LIPS, and Orion by METALLICA. It also features soundtrack cuts such as White Walker [Game of Thrones] and Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife [Aqua Teen Hunger Force]. Meanwhile, they get under the hood with instrumental versions of Asleep in the Deep, Toe To Toes, Jaguar God and Halloween.
