As one of the premier metal bands of the 21st century, it only makes sense that Mastodon are diving head first into … the pickle business. That’s right, the Atlanta foursome are selling pickles, with each band member getting his own flavor.
Ahead of their co-headlining summer North American tour with Lamb of God (pick up tickets here), Mastodon have partnered with Atlanta-based Kelly’s Death Pickles for a line of vinegar-soaked cucumbers that reflect each member’s personality.

Singer-bassist Troy Sanders offers a nod to his supergroup Killer Be Killed with Diller Be Dilled, a “traditional sour dill pickle exploding with garlic.”
Guitarist Bill Kelliher, meanwhile, rocks Dead and Butterslax, a “take on traditional, sweet bread and butter pickles with some unique added spices.”
Singer-drummer Brann Dailor gets spicy with his JalaBranño Dill, featuring “Jalapeño peppers infused into our dill pickle brine.”
And singer-guitarist Brent Hinds brings the fire with Dill with the Devil, boasting “Carolina Reaper peppers and just a bit of beets for the color added to our dill brine.”
In announcing the culinary collab with Kelly’s Death Pickles, Mastodon have unveiled a hilarious commercial starring all four members of the band (watch below). The jars themselves feature the band members sporting KISS-inspired face paint.
If you wanna sink your teeth into any of the aforementioned pickles, the jars are available for mail order via the Mastodon merch site.
As mentioned, Mastodon will kick off a co-headlining tour with Lamb of God on July 19th, celebrating the 20th anniversaries of the albums Leviathan and Ashes of the Wake, respectively. Slayer guitarist Kerry King’s new eponymous solo band will provide support.
