Mastodon fans everywhere were left thirsty today after the band released a short teaser video for ‘Chimes At Midnight’ off of the band’s upcoming album, Once More ‘Round The Sun. Clocking in at just forty-seven seconds, the teaser manages to showcase Mastodon’s melodic capabilities and technical chops, and hints once again at a reversion to a sound reminiscent of early Mastodon material.

The teaser follows the release of ‘High Road’, which first aired on 98.9 The Rock and was later released online [video here]. Both songs saw their live debut on the band’s most recent North American tour.
