Mastodon have released a short clip teasing their new video for their track Clandestiny.
The song has been lifted from the band’s most recent album Emperor Of Sand, which was released in March 2017 via Reprise Records.
The full video is expected tomorrow (April 27) with the snippet showing a rocket launching from Earth just before it explodes and speeding towards Mars, where the red planet is quickly over-run by houses, cars and industrial factories.
You can see the clip below.
Speaking previously about the follow-up to Once More 'Round the Sun, bassist and vocalist Troy Sanders said: “We’re reflecting on mortality. To that end, the album ties into our entire discography.
“It’s 17 years in the making, but it’s also a direct reaction to the last two years. We tend to draw inspiration from very real things in our lives.”
Mastodon picked up a Grammy earlier this year in the Best Metal Performance category for Sultan’s Curse and will head out on the road across the US with Primus from next month. Before that, they’ll play four dates in Mexico.
