"Show Yourself," from the new album Emperor of Sand, remains in the Top 5 Active Rock Chart after several consecutive weeks. The album continues its ascent towards greater heights and is catching the attention of a new legion of fans:
"Emperor Of Sand... a further evolution of the band's fusion of metal and prog-rock interests. It's music of complexity and feeling." - The Los Angeles Times
"Deeply personal...There's immediacy to it, something intimate in the way it approaches life and death. Emperor Of Sand sees Mastodon laying their rock roots on the table. Mastodon's strength is in their ability to harness musical madness into a cohesive vision." - Nerdist
"There is only one band that can go from extreme metal to classic rock and somehow make it all sound seamless, and that band is Mastodon." - Alternative Press
