In its four-star review of The Hunter, Rolling Stone declared that the album "demonstrates how contemporary radio rock can still be made with imagination, precision and a majestic sense of force."

As with every Mastodon album, the cover art is an important component to help convey the tone and mood on the music within. No exception, THE HUNTER features the work of contemporary American folk artist A.J. Fosik, uniting the arresting visuals with an equally complex and compelling sonic landscape.  Click here to view the visual companion to the song "Black Tongue."

Please enjoy this blistering listening experience again and behold the awesome power of MASTODON.
