Linkin Park just dropped their new albumThe Hunting Partyon Friday and if you haven’t already had a listen, it is definitely worth giving it a spin. The tracks are a lot heavier than their more recent albums which I wasn’t expecting before giving it a play.

Mastodondropped a pretty awesome video forHigh Roadyesterday that just gets us even more excited for this album to drop next Friday! If the video left you wanting more then you are in luck because the band have already released a ‘behind the scenes’ of video to see what happened on the day of the shoot.

Mastodonhave just dropped the official video forHigh Road and it is definitely one of the best videos of the year. If you only watch one music video today, definitely make sure it’s this one!
