(Burbank, CA) – Today, Brann Dailor-co-vocalist, drummer, and co-founder of GRAMMY® Award-winning heavy rock juggernaut Mastodon releases his first-ever solo track entitled “Red Death,” inspired by DC Comics’ new graphic novel DARK DAYS: THE ROAD TO METAL available now in comic book shops and in bookstores and digitally on Tuesday May 22, 2018. It seems like Mastodon is making a statement about the disaffected groups and the atmosphere around the time this song was released, and even two years later today.MASTODON’S BRANN DAILOR UNVEILS FIRST-EVER SOLO TRACK IN CELEBRATION OF DC COMICS’ DARK DAYS: THE ROAD TO METALĬurrently Co-Headlining Across the USA with Primus Followed By North American Headline Tour with Dinosaur Jr. I feel this song illustrates a part of the story of any number of real life people who, once lost and angry, find a cause to join after being absorbed into a clan. "And devour your humanity": another way of saying "Give your life." "Follow me and follow sound to the end of your eternity": where, "eternity" was an infinite path the character being spoken to was on before, but by following "sound", the character now has a "destiny" or destination, bringing it back to the song title. Maybe unveiling itself "above the ground" is another one of the clan's goals. ![]() ![]() Underground in a dark, silent environment. "We can be above the ground": suggests they are living underground right now. This line also downplays "life", as if it was something fungible.Ī few things here. "It's all we need": we don't need your other unique aspects your "life" for the clan is all we need. "Save your life" suggests the acting out from the beginning may have included downward spiraling / suicidal thoughts/ behavior. It needs the "lives" of its members, literally or metaphorically: organ transplant ("So I can breathe"), vs something like devoting all your energy to the clan. The clan will do these things, "mend your broken heart" and "retort the trials that you have lost" if the person joins. "The moment" could be the the event or that started the clan the clan's ideals therefore consumed their "sight". The recruiter describes how the environment for both of them is "dark and bare," with "no clarity, no light". These next few lines are how the "recruiter" describes the clan: "no illness and no pain", "Have not found any suffering". Running without vision." "Wronging all that's right" suggests that the character is acting out because he/she was suffering. In this story, the character being spoken to has suffered without a say or guidance: "Silent all you life. So to me, this song tells a story where a secretive clan recruits someone to "Give their live". This is not only a play on "clandestine" but also evokes imagery from the words "clan" and "destiny". ![]()
