Celebrate Christmas With MASTODON

November 24, 2010

Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON have created a super-limited-edition Christmas t-shirt. The shirt is available on the band's web site and will be up until it sells out.

A super-deluxe, super-limited-edition version of MASTODON's latest album, "Crack The Skye", will be released on November 26 via Metal Club, a group of record stores throughout the U.S. and Canada that work to connect the vibrant metal community with their local record store. Only 600 of these sets are being made. This version will come housed in a hardbox case featuring a third-dimension wormhole design that contains exclusive and additional album art by long-time MASTODON artist Paul Romano. Inside is a full length "Crack The Skye" CD plus a DVD on the "Making Of Crack The Skye" with photo gallery, track-by-track band commentary and more, by director Jimmy Hubbard.

MASTODON recently completed the BlackDiamondSkye tour with ALICE IN CHAINS and DEFTONES. The trek was named after each of the three bands' latest albums — ALICE IN CHAINS' "Black Gives Way To Blue", DEFTONES' "Diamond Eyes" and MASTODON's "Crack The Skye".

MASTODON's six-song EP, "Jonah Hex", was released on June 29 via Reprise Records. The effort features an original score by MASTODON and Oscar-nominated composer Mario Beltrami ("The Hurt Locker", "3:10 to Yuma"). MASTODON was asked to create the score personally by the film's director, Jimmy Hayward, who was inspired by repeated listenings of MASTODON's 2006 album, "Blood Mountain".
