Today, Canadian singer/songwriter Feist released her fifth album, Pleasure. And while many might best know the musician from her iPod commercial back in the day, she’s a very known commodity in the indie world. She’s also dabbled with Mastodon in the past, and them with her, as the two collaborated on a split 7″ for Record […]

Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything. Buzzfeed is one of the most popular sites on the internet. It’s also one of the laziest. Throwing together endless lists and stupid .gifs in a transparently blatant (yet completely effective) attempt to grab traffic, it’s kind of like journalism […]

Earlier this year for Record Store Day, fans of Mastodon and Feist were treated to a single with the band and singer/songwriter covering each other’s songs.

In an interview last month, Canadian singer/songwriter Feist mentioned that while performing on UK show Later… With Jools Holland, she formed a mutual appreciation with fellow performers Mastodon and pitched them on the idea of doing a split 7″ covering each other’s songs. It looks like the idea might have stuck, as bassist/singer Troy Sanders […]

Mastodon have continued to push sonic boundaries with each successive album. So what can the band do to follow up working with Fiona Apple/50 Cent producer Mike Elizondo for The Hunter? If Canadian singer/songwriter Feist has anything to do with it, it might be by collaborating with her. In an interview with Hitfix, the singer, […]

I love projects that use classical or unusual genres of music to cover metal songs, like Rodrigo Y Gabriela and (early) Apocalyptica. However, this morning I discovered a group from Sweden called Hellsongs. The female fronted trio performs poppy, soft covers of metal classics, and has already released two EPs and two full length albums […]
