Mastodon have released their own line of pickles.
The Atlanta prog metal stars announced yesterday (July 8) that they’d collaborated with US brand Kelly’s Death Pickles to get their own range of flavours, each one associated with a member of the band.
The four available include “Troy Sanders Diller Be Dilled”, named after Mastodon’s bassist/vocalist and promoted as “a traditional sour dill pickle exploding with garlic”.
The pickle likely takes its name from one of Sanders’ side-projects, metal supergroup Killer Be Killed.
There’s also guitarist Bill Kelliher’s “Dead And Butterslax” (“our take on traditional, sweet bread and butter pickles with some unique added spices”), drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor’s “JalaBranño Dill” (“jalapeño peppers infused into our dill pickle brine”) and guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds’ “Dill With The Devil” (“the hottest heat from Carolina Reaper peppers and just a bit of beets for the color added to our dill brine”).
All flavours are available to order now from the Kelly’s Death Pickles online store .
The pickles are the latest oddball piece of Mastodon merch.
In May, the band announced a series of limited-edition tiki mugs , with each one shaped like the head of one of their members.
Mastodon released their latest album, Hushed And Grim , in 2021 and are currently gearing up for a co-headlining run of North America with Lamb Of God .
The two acts will celebrating the 20th anniversaries of their albums Leviathan and Ashes Of The Wake by performing them in full.
Support will come from Slayer guitarist Kerry King’s solo band and UK metalcore crew Malevolence.
