View their Jimmy Kimmel performance of track from Once More ‘Round The Sun

Mastodon can be seen in a clip from Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night US TV show, performing their track The Motherload.

It’s taken from sixth album Once More ‘Round The Sun, which was launched in June.

Drummer Brann Dailor recently described it as a “gorgeous” work, adding: “It’s a reflection of our past with a few songs that are a bit out-there and show a new direction. We’re as happy with it as we were our previous albums.”

The band return to the UK in November.
