Georgia sludge bashers Mastodon have announced that they’ll follow 2011’s hard rock-oriented The Hunter with their sixth full length at some point this year. It’s being produced by Nick Raskulinecz, who also did the upcoming Hold Steady LP, and has worked with Ghost, Foo Fighters, and others. Release date and title still TBA, but stay tuned.

They’re also going on a US tour this spring, and they’ve got some pretty great support coming from French death metal greats Gojira and Norwegian rock ‘n’ roll devils Kvelertak. The tour hits NYC on May 15 at Terminal 5. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet, but you can check Ticketmaster for updates.

The tour also brings all three bands to Columbus, OH’s Rock on the Range festival (5/16 – 5/18), which also includes Guns N Roses, Motorhead, Slayer, Wolfmother, Suicidal Tendencies, Down, Exodus and lots of bands that may steer you away from going like Avenged Sevenfold, Kid Rock, Stained, Seether, Chevelle, Fuel and more.
