Mastodon: Real fresh Norwegian water

US progressive metal heroes Mastodon has played Norway 5 times during the last year, as special guests for Slayer/Slipknot and Iron Maiden, as well as headlining their own european tour. This summer, Mastodon kicked arse at Ekstremsportveko [extreme sports festival] at Voss on the 23rd of June, which made quite an impression on the band:

"...We just came from Norway, we did an extreme sports festival there where people were jumping out of planes, parachuting, hang gliding, base jumping, doing all that kind of shit. It was fucking amazing. There was kayaking and white water rafting down the mountain. It was beautiful. The water was light blue - you could drink it, it was so good. Real fresh water..." mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher tells Terrorizer.

A lot can be said about Norway, but at least the water's good. Voss is, as you may know, the name of an exclusive (and extremely expensive) Norwegian table water brand. Mastodon's fascination for water is well doccumented on their latest masterpice Leviathan, conceptually based on Moby Dick.
