about songwriting, technique and gear.

Go inside EMG’s Santa Rosa, California,
factory and see how active pickups are

Mastodon Interview
Mastodon might not be a household name outside of the heavy metal
sector yet, but they’re on their way. The Atlanta quartet has a Grammy
nomination under its belt, and they’re video game soundtrack staples,
with songs in everything from racing games to the popular Guitar Hero
and Rock Band franchises. They even recently teamed up with Thin
Lizzy’s Scott Gorham [see interview, page 79] for an acoustic rendition
of “Emerald.” We talk with guitarists Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds.
