The band had previously released Your Ghost Again as the lead single before Snakes For Dinner, marking the album's promo sequence.
Mastodon have announced their tenth studio album, Marrow Deep, due August 28 via Loma Vista Recordings — their first full-length since 2021's Hushed And Grim, according to Louder Sound and Rock Sound. The announcement comes with a new single, Snakes For Dinner, featuring Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, along with a video release.
The record also marks a major lineup shift. Guitarist Brent Hinds departed in early 2025 amid reported tensions and later died in a motorcycle accident. Nick Johnston has stepped in as a full-time guitarist, making Mastodon a five-piece for the first time, Louder Sound reports.
Snakes For Dinner Reunites Mastodon With Josh Homme
Snakes For Dinner is the second single from Marrow Deep, following the lead single Your Ghost Again. The track marks the first time Mastodon and Homme have worked together since Colony Of Birchmen. A music video dropped alongside the single to kick off the album's promotional run.
The album was produced with Patrik Berger and Kurt Ballou. Mixing duties went to Andrew Scheps. Keyboardist João Nogueira also contributed keyboard textures to the record, pushing the band's sound beyond its traditional guitar-driven arrangements, according to Rock Sound.
Greek Mythology Shapes a 12-Track Record About Loss and Fate
Marrow Deep draws on the Three Fates of Greek mythology — ancient figures said to control life, destiny, and death. The band uses that framework to process personal grief and upheaval. The closing track is literally titled The Three Fates, according to The Razor's Edge.
The full tracklist runs 12 songs: Barbarian's Blood, Poisonous Weapons, Your Ghost Again, Snakes For Dinner, Out Like A Lamb, In The Ruins, They're Coming For You, Golden Spires, Moth And Bone, A Vampire's Demeanor, The Vanishing, and The Three Fates. Founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Bill Kelliher are all present on the record.
Brent Hinds Memorial Documentary Released Alongside Album News
As part of the Marrow Deep rollout, Mastodon released a memorial documentary titled Mastodon In The Room. The film reflects on Hinds' life and the band's long history with him. Hinds left the group in early 2025 and died later that year in a motorcycle accident.
Nick Johnston now fills the guitarist role full-time. His arrival makes this the first Mastodon album built around a five-piece lineup, Louder Sound notes. The band has been open about navigating serious personal loss while making the record.
Poisonous Weapons Tour to Follow Album Release
Mastodon are also set for a major live push called the Poisonous Weapons Tour. The run will feature support from Deafheaven and Alcest. The tour name pulls directly from one of the album's 12 tracks, suggesting a tight connection between the live campaign and the new record, according to Stereoboard.
