Hushed and Grim

Hushed and Grim is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Mastodon, released on October 29, 2021, through Reprise Records. At 86 minutes Hushed and Grim is their lengthiest album, and their first double album. Critical reception was mixed to positive, and the album sold well globally.

Guest appearances include guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Troy Sanders' mother Jody Sanders on French horn.There is no guest vocal from Scott Kelly of Neurosis for the first time since their 2002 debut Remission, due to Kelly's withdrawal from the music scene after admitting to domestic abuse of his wife and children. The album also serves as a tribute to Mastodon's former manager Nick John, who died from cancer in 2018. This is Mastodon's last album with founding guitarist Brent Hinds, who departed the band in March 2025.
