Fresh off an appearance last month at Mutants of the Monster Fest in their hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, riff-plodder trio Mammoth Caravan announce they’ll release their second album through Blade Setter Records sometime before the end of the year. You might recall their 2023 debut, Ice Cold Oblivion (review here) was a highlight of last year’s wintry earliest hours, and along with word of their signing, the band has said that the follow-up will be out before the end of 2024. Even if that becomes the first months of 2025, they’re still working on a pretty quick turnaround.
