Mastodon has begun teasing something called Light the Torch. My assumption is that this is the "brutal" song recorded in 2018 featuring Neurosis frontman Scott Kelly that never came out.
While the song was never publicly given a name, one Reddit thread has led everyone to assume it was called "Fallen Torches" at one point. The song was originally slated to come out right before Mastodon's 2019 UK tour, but according to drummer Brann Dailor it wasn't finished in time. So maybe the song switched names, or that fan club in the screenshot on the Reddit thread just happened to make a lucky guess, or there's even more coming than we think.
Mastodon has launched a Light the Torch website here.
