US Progressive Metallers MASTODON, have unveiled an official music video for “More Than I Could Chew”. The clip, which was directed by Zev Deans, who has previously helmed videos for BEHEMOTH, GHOST, GOJIRA and more, nods to classic psychedelic horror with its bright color palette and tense take on the story of the Garden Of Eden.
“More Than I Could Chew” is taken from the band’s latest album “Hushed And Grim”, which was released on October 29th, 2021 via Reprise Records.

In the visual, Lisa Saeboe assumes the role of Eve, while Brenden McGowan inhabits a ghastly Lucifer. As this timeless fable of temptation and lust plays out for nearly seven minutes, the bandmembers perform awash in ruddy colors. Brann Dailor and Troy Sanders lock into an earthquaking call-and-response as thunderous as the track’s sonic ebb and flow. Guitarists Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher weave a dark yet melodic texture in and around the rhythm to color and complete the expressive track. The clip reaches a harrowing climax in tandem with one last exhale of distortion.
MASTODON is preparing to follow GHOST and SPIRITBOX on their North American tour. They will kick off on August 26th at San Diego’s Pechanga Arena and will wrap up their performances on September 23rd at the Resch Center in Green Bay.
