	Hartford Advocate: Monsters of Rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Brann Dailor, drummer for Atlanta-based sludge-thrashers Mastodon, adheres to a strict pre-show regimen.
		Dailor promises the new CD is a natural progression for the band.
		For example, Dailor said there's some "weird '80s thrash," along with some straight-up rock (which was hinted at through their cover of Thin Lizzy's "Emerald"), prog rock and a new-found sense of melody, especially on the vocals, which this time will feature some actual earnest singing.

		Brann: Well basically, we've just been scoring support tours and when it comes to support tours, you have no say in where it goes or when it goes or how it goes.
		Brann: It was something that Relapse wanted to do because of the fact that there has been a larger interest in the band; the Tony Hawk video game came out, the video on MTV2 came out, the Headbanger's Ball compilation CD came out.
		Brann: That was a dream I had; I had this fucked up dream involving my sister.

	Orlando Weekly - Music Story - None more heavy
		Dailor and Kelliher, who at the time played bass, wanted to leave the frozen New England tundra and head to the greener (although not necessarily more fertile) pastures of Atlanta, while the rest of Today Is the Day was content staying put.
		Ultimately, Dailor's fears were quelled when critics and fans praised the album, placing it in the next wave of American heavy metal.
		While Dailor and Kelliher's departure from Today Is the Day resulted in some friction between the exiled members and the band at one point, the two parties have since smoothed things out.

	Interview Mastodon
		Brann is truly candid and doesn't hold his tongue.
		You will definitely see that Brann is very a approachable guy and can talk to him for hours, this felt like us just sitting in a bar talking instead of a somewhat formal interview.
		Brann says he recalls one drum lesson in which he hated and vowed to his father that he’d never go back.

		Drummer Brann Dailor, guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist Bill Kelliher and bassist and vocalist Troy Sanders forge a wall of pulverizing rhythms and scathing vocal roar.
		Dailor approached Romano with an idea based a dream he had in which hordes of animals fled in fear from a forest under the shadow of a gigantic nuclear explosion.
		Brann tried to buy it from him, and he said, ‘Sure, but it’s not done yet, I still need to lighten up this and do that.’” Although Remission was released more than two years ago, Romano is still touching up elements of the multipaneled painting which extends well beyond the cropped album cover image.

		Dailor and bassist, Troy Saunders are a true rhythm section now.
		Sure, Dailor goes ape behind the kit, but he and Saunders are less Jack Bruce/Ginger Baker and more John Paul Jones/John Bonham now.
		And if drummer Brann Dailor doesn’t rack up a slew of critics’ picks and readers’ choice awards this year, I’ll eat a Keith Moon biography.

		In order to re-focus and regroup after leaving TODAY IS THE DAY in 1999, drummer Brann Dailor and guitarist Bill Kelliher opted to move back to their hometown of Rochester, New York.
		There, Dailor and Kelliher united with their former band Lethargy for a swansong show and demo.
		Dailor and Kelliher had almost a decade of playing and touring experience together; Sanders and Hines had a half-dozen.

	Brann Dailor / Mastodon - MEINL cymbal artists
		Brann mans the drums for Mastodon, an explosive unbridled force hailing from Atlanta, Georgia.
		Possessing an uncanny songwriting sense, fearless innovation, unparalleled technical ability and a bottomless pool of raw talent and creativity, Mastodon is inarguably one of the most exciting new bands to form in the last ten years.
		Brann and his band have tirelessly toured the USA, Europe and Japan since their inception in 2000, bringing their brand of feverish metal to stunned audiences everywhere.

	Modern Fix
		Brann is exhausted because his band, Mastadon, is currently in the studio recording the follow-up to “Remission”, which was critically acclaimed by fan and press alike.
		After leaving the extreme noisemakers, Today Is The Day in 1999, drummer Brann Dailor and guitarist Bill Kelliher opted to move to Atlanta and quickly started a band.
		Usually you try and stay with a girl, not to sleep with her, but because her apartment will be well kept and she will probably have a nice fluffy couch to sleep on,” Brann confesses.

	Democrat & Chronicle: AfterDark
		The answers, Ben, are that two of them — guitarist Bill Kelliher and drummer Brann Dailor — are from Rochester; their angle is Moby-Dick; and their old Bug Jar band, Lethargy, allowed them to do it.
		Dailor does have a job buying rock band T-shirts for a yuppie store called Junkman's Daughter.
		It was Dailor who sold the rest of the band on the idea of drawing the inspiration for its third album from Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.

		Brann Dailor doesn't buy that attitude – he's perfectly willing to reveal the contents of his record collection, warts and all.
		As Dailor's talk might suggest, Mastodon zigzags a lot within any particular song – not only that, but his band's musical freedom sounds unforced.
		To describe their sound more simply than it actually is, Dailor and his band mates hover somewhere near the harsher, thrashing end of the metal spectrum.

		If drummer Brann Dailor is a fan of AC/DC, you'd never know it by the way the man plays.
		Dailor explodes with flurries of intricate, syncopated drum patterns and inventive fills, which may be the key to MASTODON's unique sound.
		Leviathan is the sound of a band that isn't particularly concerned with the rules and conventions placed on the easily categorized and pigeonholed.

	Transcending the Mundane: Review of 'Remission' by Mastodon
		The origin of the band dates back to 1999, when drummer Brann Dailor and guitarist Bill Kelliher left the technical metal band Today is the Day and moved back to their hometown of Rochester, New York.
		Three weeks after the move, Dailor and Kelliher met bassist Troy Sanders and guitarist Brent Hines at a High on Fire show that Hinds put on in his basement.
		The closer is a gentle, relaxed instrumental and, for once, Dailor plays it completely straight, easily grooving on his ride and snare.

		He is the centrepiece of play at all times, the lynchpin around which all these songs are constructed and the rhythmic force around which they flow.
		In spite of this, as has been the point throughout, it is definitely more listenable than the debut, and ultimately that has to count for more in the long run.
		So grievances aside, the combination of Brann Dailor's impressive talent and a few good tunes is great, indeed riveting.

	: Leviathan - Køb Bøger: Totaltiorden.dk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As other reviews mention, Brann Dailor is one of the best drummers alive and tends to be the focus of a live performance.
		Brent and Bill supply an awe inspiring guitar dual that is brutal in it's incessant intensity, and very effectively mates with the thunderous assault of Dailor's drumming.
		Brann Dailor is the absolutely unpredictable bucking of the waves against the helm of the ship as the rest of the band members slip into madness and obsession with the ephemerality of Dailor's maritime drum rolls played against, atop, within, without the beat.

	Mastodon Review
		When I sat down with Brann Dailor (drums) before their set thats what I had described Mastodon to be.
		Led by the magnificent drumming of Dailor along with the superior riffs of Brent and Bill and the flawless bass playing of Troy, the guys in Mastodon are truly entertaining.
		The crowd was silent, but you could see them being very appreciative of this fairly new band banging their heads to every tune and cheering between every song.

		The band is comprised of Brann Dailor on drums, Brent Hinds on guitar and vocals, Bill Kelliher on lead guitar and Troy Sanders on bass and back vocals.
		Brann and Bill are also part of the bands Today Is The Day and Lethargy.
		I must also mention that Brann Dailor does an incredible job on drums.

	Ground and Sky review - Mastodon - Remission
		Though their name evokes images of massive, plodding beasts, Mastodon instead prove to be an agile band, extremely heavy at times but not relentlessly so.
		Their agility is mostly a result of the masterful drumming of Brann Dailor, who reminds somewhat of a slightly slowed-down Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy).
		No boring double bass drum heavy blast beats here: this guy is frenetic when called for, playing all sorts of wild fills around the beats, but collapsing onto the rhythm when appropriate to make the times when the full band comes together for a killer riff all the more powerful.

	WORLD WIDE LETHARGY
		They played on Today Is The Day's 1999 album "In The Eyes Of God" (available on Relapse Records) and toured with the band up until late 1999, at which time Brann and Bill left the band.
		The current status of Lethargy is very much up in the air, as Brann and Bill have moved to Atlanta and have reportedly put together a new band.
		But while they were home for the 1999 holidays, the band went into Watchman Studios to record a few newer songs that they never got a chance to record in 1998.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Trampled under foot
		Basically, the roundabout journey took Dailor from Atlanta to Hawaii (so he could get married) and then back across two oceans to London (so he could join the band for a European tour).
		"Brann flew from Atlanta to Las Vegas to California to Hawaii, got married, and then turned around and flew through Chicago and Philly back to Atlanta," Kelliher says.
		Besides the marriage, the only good thing that came out of the self-imposed pilgrimage was that Dailor, who didn't sleep for the entire trip, had time to read Melville's novel in its entirety.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Mastodon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mastodon is the newest band featuring Brann Dailor and Bill Kelliher, formerly of the awesome Lethargy and who also briefly served in Today Is The Day.
		The style here is only a shade less chaotic than prime Lethargy, full of twisted riffs, vocals that alternate between an almost hardcore scream and a gruff semi-death style.
		Dailor's drumming is almost too much to believe, he's all over the place yet manages to stay in focus just enough to keep the band from wandering into obliveon.

		Metal Update had a chat with drummer Brann Dailor about his involvement in Today is the Day, prog rock and their attempt to set a new world record.
		It's been a month so far, so we are just like, "Aaaggghh." So Mastodon started writing songs and within a month or two months we were ready to go record our EP that came out on Relapse.
		BD: It's was mainly like, "Hey Brann and Bill, whatever you guys do in the future, let us hear it." We were friends at that point because of Today is the Day or whatever.

	[No title]
		The album introduced bassist Bill Kelleher and drummer Brann Dailor into the metal scene, both remarkable musicians.
		While this album seems to use more of theyíre experimental side, the groove and the extremity that was found on In the Eyes of God is somewhat missing.
		Two other elements that are missing that were found on the previous album were Bill Kelleher and Brann Dailor.

	Mastodon - Remission - review @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		I really cannot find a genre to place the band in but the label “Math metal” comes to mind as odd time signatures are ever so present throughout the music-yet the music is so tightly knit and pulled together it has a seamless feeling.
		Drum work-“godly”, there is truly a “Neal Peart” value and influence in the percussion by Brann Dailor and that is something pretty damn rare.
		I always wondered why the band would name itself Mastodon but perhaps it is because there music is as large and monstrous as the large extinct mammal the name is derived from.

		The band also is drawing “older prog-rock dudes with Yes T-shirts on who say, ‘We haven’t been going to concerts ’cause we don’t like music anymore,’” Dailor says.
		Dailor says he and his band mates — guitarist Bill Kelliher, guitarist-vocalist Brent Hinds and bassist-vocalist Troy Sanders — had no idea they’d reached such a breakthrough while recording the album.
		Dailor and Kelliher, both formerly of arty extreme metal act Today Is the Day, moved to Atlanta where they met and found common interests with Hinds and Sanders.

	CoC : Mastodon : Interview
		Talk also turned to _Leviathan_ conceptual thrust -- which, as most of you probably know by now, is anchored to themes, ideas and characters borrowed from Herman Melville's proto-modernist masterpiece, "Moby Dick" -- along with Mastodon's current position as one of the most commercially promise-heavy bands in extreme music.
		Calling me at noon his time from the Seattle apartment that he and bandmates Troy Sanders, Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher have been sharing for a month while recording _Leviathan_, Dailor sounds like he has just surfaced, his pseudo-drawl and often halting speech-patterns giving the impression of a man who is permanently stoned.
		Brann Dailor: No, this is our first time here, but we've been living here for a month, so I've made a few friends.
