That doesn't make sense, things are either psychedelic or they aren't, there is no "new". If music recreates or describes a psychedelic experience, then it is indeed psychedelic music. In either case, that album is from 2006, and a great deal of music ( Probably the majority ) in this thread is from past 2006, so I wouldn't call it new either. Anyways, this topic is primarily for Psytrance/Psybient/Psychedelic Rock. I do find many metal bands psychedelic, lyrically and musically, such as Dissection and Emperor, but Mastodon isn't one I find psychedelic at all. Since the opinion of whether it is or isn't is subjective, I guess it's fair for you to post if you've had a trip that resembled that music or reminds you of, or you listened to whilst tripping, etc etc. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, just saying the majority of people who post here wouldn't find it psychedelic, and the music may be better appreciated in another thread, that's all.
I find they emulate a peculiar trippy metal sound that I have fallen in love with.. Mastodon follows up with some of the most mesmerizing sounds/ videos.
for example:
Mastodon - Oblivionhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6WGNd8QR-Uor
Mastodon - Sleeping Gianthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilz-4mtdpOMI definitely do not consider them PURE psychedelic
