Unlike Captain Ahab, Mastodon absolutely landed the great white whale while making their second full-length, the Moby Dick-themed Leviathan. The Atlanta outfit’s breakthrough release remains a towering achievement in metal, its 10 songs an epic journey of sludging heaviness, prog-blitzed madness and hickory-seasoned Southern-rock guitar shred. They matched this, of course, with nautical narratives about seabeasts and man’s unfettered obsession. 20 years later, we still feel the thrill of the hunt on this Henry Melville-tributing metal classic, available now on white-and-kelly-green-splattered vinyl.
