	Amazon.com: Leviathan: Music: Mastodon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Their first album was more poeitc to me. This album rings out like an Epic Masterpiece, and I can not recomend it enough.
		The album is concluded with a somewhat uneasy electric-acoustic instrumental, "Joseph Merrick".
		My only beefs with "Leviathan" are: The Production; while it is a definite improvement over "Remission" its just not 100% better.(But once you are bombarded by some of those deadly Riffs, you'll hardly notice.) Another beef I have is "Hearts Alive", its just too long on an album of 3 and 4 minute songs.

	FEATURED LABEL - LEVIATHAN
		This album is one big joyous excuse for the pair to blow the gaskets off their electric guitars in ways that will positively scare the crap out of you.
		There’s the obligatory (for an album like this) two minute acoustic section, leading into a fiery passage of riffing and soloing, and then it’s into the album's highlight track ‘The Jimi Stomp’ where at least Stump tries to be dynamic as well as powerful, and he succeeds totally, with a composition of Hendrix-styled power riffing.
		This is an album where the guitar work is so fast, hot and flashy, that your speakers will be reduced to piles of smouldering rubble by the time the CD is finished.

		Mastodon's Leviathan opens with a track called "Blood and Thunder," an appropriate metaphor for their combination of organic metal and massively hefty sound.
		Leviathan is sort of a concept album about Moby Dick, peppered with lyrics about the white whale, watery graves, and an endless bottom.
		Combining the epic sound and heaviness of Zeppelin with the epic sound and speed of Metallica condensed into three-minute bursts, Mastodon is the culmination of years of metal - both forward-looking with a huge influence from the past.

	Mastodon : Leviathan - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The naysayers will note that too many concessions were made on Leviathan in order to gain a wider audience, that the production is too polished and the vocals too melodic, and they are right.
		Leviathan digs out of the boot camp stampede and seeks out even heavier environs, going where few bands have gone before, straight down into the ocean.
		Leviathan may not be an out and out concept album, but it's awfully close and thank god they didn't choose anything as cheesy as a blind kid playing pinball.

	CD Baby: LEVIATHAN: Internal Inferno
		LEVIATHAN's display of haunting and aggressive vocals, combined with driving force of the guitar onstage is tempered by the cool edge of the music's blues based bass arrangements, then left to be hammered into spectators by old school punk, tribal-like percussion rhythm.
		The mixture that LEVIATHAN represents is a truly interesting one, partly due to the surprising amount of variety and similarity in influences among the members of the group.
		Their moniker, LEVIATHAN, was taken up for a variety of reasons, and many of those reasons can be seen reflected in their music and lyrical content.

	LEVIATHAN (ITA) Bee Yourself review by Fishy
		This album was released in 1990 but it doesn’t sound dated today at all, probably thanks to the seventies and eighties sounds.
		The highlight of the album is the title track, an epic of 20 minutes which tells the story of a society of bees and the most important moment in the life of one male bee in peculiar.
		The Hackett-like guitar on this album is lovely but it’s obvious that the keyboards take the leading role in all of the songs.

	Mastodon: Leviathan - PopMatters Music Review
		Mastodon's 2002 album Remission was the kind of debut release that every band dreams of pulling off, one that grabbed people's attention immediately, one that, upon hearing the first few bars of the first track, showed the world that they actually had something new to offer.
		When it comes to following up a highly acclaimed first album, it's always tough, but in metal circles, it's even worse, as fans are often so fiercely set in their ways, that any change from the established formula, in their eyes, is often disastrous.
		On the album, you get sudden dual guitar flourishes, abrupt time signature changes (but nowhere near as abrupt as that of The Dillinger Escape Plan and Meshuggah), and most impressively, an outstanding performance by Dailor on the skins, who seems to channel the power of Brant Bjork and the precision of Neil Peart.

	Leviathan interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Their first EP and album received contradictory evaluations, yet with the second full-length, the band was picked by Century Media, a label that was not particularly interested in investing resources into an obscure genre like progressive metal.
		After "Scoring The Chapters", the Leviathan's third child containing 15 elaborate tracks, skeptics can lower their voices because it can be boldly said that this is one of the best recent progressive metal releases.
		We never wanted to compress the album, we actually figured that people would really feel that they were getting their money's worth this way and we also figured that this would really help with the Japanese market.

	Album Review LEVIATHAN-The Tenth SubLevel of Suicide :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 11 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The 14th incarnation of the Leviathan project is the angriest work to date.
		Still, as I see it, by absorbing the latest creation of Leviathan, I had witnessed the apparition, if not of a truly Romantic phenomenon, then surely the closest possible point of conjunction between that archaic, disillusioned principle and Black Metal.
		I'm sure Wrest had his justified reasons for the inclusion of each and every part of the album, but to the unacquainted listener this intensity might be a bit over-the-top.

	HellrideMusic.com - Mastodon - Leviathan
		Despite having heard nine of the album’s 10 tracks live over the course of the past six months, I was a little taken aback upon initial listen.
		The 14-minute album centerpiece builds and builds into the aforementioned guitar solo, followed by one of the all-time great metal riffs.
		Leviathan sounds like it was released in 1989.

	Kinrick Reviews
		Leviathan might be a small label but the quality of their bands cannot be questioned.
		Musically, this album is as good as it gets, and simply has it all, the style is generally Traditional Metal, built around King's thick, driving, bass-emphasized, angry-sounding power chords, with a few elements of Progressive Metal in the guitar solos and drumming mixed into their work.
		The theme of the album "deals with depression of the downtrodden and the rich and powerful continuing their scourge that benefits the few at the expense of many." A song like "I Fight Alone," is a direct reflection of the theme.

	Album Review LEVIATHAN-Nine (Inclement Derision) :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Leviathan is going through major creative growth, as Wrest breathes new life into his riffs and structures.
		As a result, instead of the album standing as a sort of a whole body of a ride into infinite grimness, the tracks stand out.
		This is followed by my personal favorite on the album, "Parasite," which features one of those godly cathartic riffs that Wrest seems to incorporate into each of his releases.

	METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Mastodon - Leviathan
		This is an album which definitely displays a band at the forefront of their craft.
		I am of course referring to 'Leviathan' the latest release from Rochester New York's finest, MASTODON back now to follow up 2002's widely hailed landmark full length debut 'Remission' (and the equally devastating 2001 EP 'Lifesblood') which was arguably one of the fresher and more enjoyable releases of that year.
		The truth of the matter lies within the music and the truth is this: MASTODON is one hell of a band, and 'Leviathan' is one hell of an album.

	CD Baby: LEVIATHAN: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
		Leviathan's 91sick style and word play mayhem are trancending lyricism standards.
		The album was unexpected and evolved 'accidentally' while Leviathan was in the process of recording his next album, Icontactics II.
		This album is on some laid-back-as-fuck yet still lyrically psycho shit.

	Interview with Richard Leviathan (Ostara) - 2nd March 2004
		RL: From the new Ostara album which is called Ultima Thule, which is out on a German label called Eis and Licht, and this is our third album, and the track is called Proud Black Templar, and it is based essentially on the Knights Templar, but it's a bit of a spin on that theme.
		Before that we heard the title track of the Ostara album, "Ultima Thule", which is again a kind of mellow acoustic track which I thought I'd play, and that song has a lot of resonances with references to suicide bombings etc but contrasted by a rather mellow style.
		When I first heard their album Fire Of Life I was absolutely blown away at how it reminded me not only of some of the things that bands like Death In June were doing but it was 20 years prior to that, and revolutionary in many respects and very interesting.

	Leviathan by Mastodon CD
		Knowing that Mastodon is an offshoot of pioneering progressive post-hardcore band Today Is the Day may give prospective listeners a clue as to what awaits them on LEVIATHAN, but will probably not prepare them for the sheer metallic thrust and organic complexity of the Mastodon sound.
		Often recalling the most jaw-droppingly facile passages from Rush's 2112 mixed with the heaviest bits of Metallica's MASTER OF PUPPETS, the group's music is slightly less heady than that of peers Dillinger Escape Plan or Coalesce, but no less technically demanding.
		LEVIATHAN is at once serpentine and thundering, simultaneously positioning itself as one of the genre's most ambitious and accessible works, delivering 10 tracks that more than live up to the mammoth image suggested by the disc's MOBY DICK-inspired cover art and lyrics.

		Being a big metal fan i bought this album on the strength of what i had seen in other reviews and on the one track i had heard: Blood and Thunder, which is a great track that i would recommend.
		I've been buying quite a lot of albums recently on the strength of reviews both in magazines and on websites and I can honestly say that this is the first time I've been let down.

	DECAPOLIS : Mastodon - Leviathan
		Leviathan, the new album by the “Sabbath of the South” is in and of itself an epic journey like the classic Herman Melville tale that it’s based off of.
		From the opening cry “I think that something is trying to kill me” to the classical guitar cool down, Mastodons new album is musically both raw and coherent at the same time.
		Even if you are not a regular fan of metal in general, Leviathan offers up some conceptually complex entertainment that exudes more and more with each listen.

	Untitled Document
		Yan Leviathan: The very first step was taken in November of 2002 when I had written the first song, Final Frontier.
		Lance and David produced the album together; David was in charge of the guitars and drums, and Lance produced the vocals and guitar solos.
		Both are subjected to mainstream stuff on the airwaves, but it seems to me that the Europeans will go out of their way to find the music that they love; they won’t just sit there and be brainwashed by corporate controlled stations.

	* Dusted Reviews - Xasthur/Leviathan *
		If listeners’ fatigue hasn’t set in by the time Leviathan’s tracks come up, the ears will be lifted of their labor, as Wrest — the man behind Leviathan’s curtain — suffuses Prog sensibility with Black Metal, lending already epic song structures a load-lightening elasticity.
		Leviathan’s dynamism — an itchy trigger finger for elaborate and nimble changes — sets the music’s quality out in the forefront of the majority of current Black Metal ensembles.
		Leviathan’s two other tracks, “Unfailing Fall Into Naught” and “The Remotest Cipher (Beside the Last Breath Vanished)” take Varg Vikerenes’ Hawthornean “Hvis Lyset Tar Oss” as template and ups the amperage, razing buzzing guitar walls studded with digital drums and screech-to-sigh vocal exhalations.

	Mastodon (Leviathan) mxdwn.com review by Steve Mangione (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Now with Leviathan, the band hopes to again reach the high water mark their previous effort set for the entire genre.
		Leviathan takes this concept one step further and implements another common "prog-rock" theme - the concept album.
		As the title (and album art) imply, the album is about the same struggle immortalized in Moby Dick - man against an unseen near-immortal force.

	Metal Invader ( Mastodon - Leviathan [featured album] ) Review.
		A new effort from a band that has already create a lot of noise noise 2 years and 3 months ago (to be exact) with their first full length “Remission”, an album that won both the critics and the fans who accepted it in the most positive was.
		Eehh I can’t hold on I’ll get straight to the point: “Leviathan” is here to prove to everyone that MASTODON is not a common band.
		Troy Sanders (bass/vocals) is the surprise of the album, not only because of his bass playing which is awesome once more, but also with vocal performance that is a lot different from the “Remission” album.
