Mastodon Share a New Single and Video for “In The Ruins” – New Album Coming Soon


Mastodon shot in Paris for the 2026 album campaign

Mastodon have just shared “In The Ruins,” a song from their highly anticipated new album Marrow Deep (out August 28 via Loma Vista Recordings) inspired by the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene and the personal havoc it wreaked upon bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders and his family. The catastrophic storm severely flooded their home and destroyed personal belongings, leading to a nearly two-year period of displacement that coincided with the whole band navigating the profound grief of the passings of founding member Brent Hinds and drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor’s mother, Michele Lawrence, ultimately channeling the loss into a powerful declaration of resilience and catharsis. The song comes paired with a vibrant video by animation and VFX studio, Hey Beautiful Jerk, that depicts a fever dream journey by a single-eyed creature named Frank across flooded and ruined landscapes that serves as a metaphor for the song’s lyrics.

Queens of the Stone Age return with a stunning new single, “Easy Street,” on Matador Records.

The music is serene and perfectly imperfect — acoustic guitar, psychedelic synths, and a rhythm track that breathes on its own. Beneath the surface: raw edges and withering wit. Featuring singer Nikki Lane, whose vocals arrive like gravel and honey with a Wanda Jackson grit. Her voice flips the sonic script against Josh Homme’s smoother lead line. Stream and buy the track, as well as watch the irected video below!
