The new Mastodon-Lamb of God single, “Floods of Triton,” has Randy Blythe growling, “We’re the last of the before times/Now hear the old gods rise.

In an interview with Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor, Blythe smiles knowingly when those remarks are repeated.

On a summer tour, Mastodon and Lamb of God played their breakout albums in full.

Mastodon's Leviathan and Lamb of God's Ashes of the Wake, released in 2004, launched the two bands' long rise from clubs to arenas.

Dailor, then a member of Today Is the Day with Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher, lived at the studio where Lamb of God recorded as Burn the Priest. They traveled together.

They created “Floods of Triton” to honor their decades-long friendship. They taped it before the tour but are releasing it now to highlight the song. Definitely worth it.

The guitar riffs and Blythe's yowls evoke Mastodon's Leviathan era.

Hear beauty in destruction, the sea beast laid to rest,” the chorus says, citing each band's songs. It's heavy, melodic, and represents the old gods' rise.
