As previously announced, Mastodon have received two 2018 GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of "Best Rock Album" (Emperor of Sand) and "Best Metal Performance" (album track "Sultan's Curse"). To celebrate their career total GRAMMY® nominations of five, the Atlanta-based rock outfit has released a full-length documentary, The Making Of Emperor Of Sand, via YouTube now. The seventy-five minute plus film brings the viewer deep into the band's creative inner sanctum and presents an honest, funny, often emotional and deeply personal peek into the four distinctly different personalities. Their collective strengths are distilled into one unified vision and a powerful force of nature. Mastodon has shared this message with fans:
"Earlier this year we released a 12-part series showing the making of our album Emperor of Sand. We've cut it all together, added over 30 minutes of never before seen footage and turned it into a documentary! This is a deep look into the making of the album and the inspiration behind the music. With the GRAMMY® nominations Emperor of Sand has received this week, we thought it was the perfect time to release it. We hope you enjoy the documentary. If you do, feel free to share it! Thanks to Jimmy Hubbard helping us put this together!" -- Mastodon
