"After four albums that were driven by overriding concepts, the mighty Mastodon return with a record that heads in the opposite direction: The Hunter sometimes feels more like a mixtape, with almost every track tackling a different sound and style."
- Pitchfork
The Hunter is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Mastodon. It is their first release with producer Mike Elizondo. The album was recorded at Sound City Studios in LA with producer Mike Elizondo (whose credits include Fiona Apple, Eminem, Alanis Morissette, Avenged Sevenfold and Maroon 5).
The Hunter is Mastodon's second non-concept album. Moreover, The Hunter marks the first time that drummer Brann Dailor composes and sings a Mastodon song in its entirety ("Creature Lives"), and takes lead vocal duties on more than two songs. Like Mastodon's previous album Crack the Skye, The Hunter features a mix of clean singing and a few songs with harsher shouting vocals. The song "Spectrelight" features Neurosis vocalist/guitarist Scott Kelly as a guest. It was titled "The Hunter" in honour of singer and lead guitarist Brent Hinds' brother, who died in a hunting accident while the band were making the record.
