Legend of the Seagullmen
This swashbuckling supergroup featuring Tool’s Danny Carey on drums and Mastodon’s Brent Hinds on guitar resurrects the conceptual, nautical prog-metal album. Much like the briny deep, *Legend of the Seagullmen* is unapologetic and punishing as it is beautiful and pristine. Roto-toms get tattooed and hurricane-force riffs propel songs like “Shipswreck” and the title track. Come for the dramatic tales (“Ballad of the Deep Sea Diver,” “Curse of the Red Tide”), stay for the wicked chops and epic suites.
Legend of the Seagullmen is the debut full-length by the cinematic, psychedelic rock supergroup.
Although it can feel a tad monotonous and underdeveloped at times, Legend of the Seagullmen is an imposing yet fun ride from start to finish.
