Mastodon "Curl of the Burl"

As more details are unveiled about Mastadon's upcoming album The Hunter, it's becoming increasingly evident that it might be step in a different direction for the already progressive metal act. To add to the unusual new album cover and the oddly titled tracks, a new single has made its way online, strangely dubbed "Curl of the Burl."

You can listen to the surprisingly catchy song, in all its guitar-driven glory, below and judge for yourself how the new material fares.

The Hunter is due out on September 27 courtesy of Reprise Records.
