MASTODON: New Audio Interview With BRENT HINDS Available

April 16, 2009

Joe Bosso of MusicRadar recently conducted an interview with guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds of Atlanta-based hard-rock iconoclasts MASTODON. The chat is now available for download and/or streaming at this location.

MASTODON will be the featured musical guests on CBS' "The Late Show with David Letterman" airing on Friday, May 15 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT. Check local listings for details.

On May 5, MASTODON will release two versions of the band's new album, "Crack The Skye", on vinyl. The first is a standard high-quality vinyl issue with beautiful full-size album artwork. There will also be a special deluxe edition mastered and pressed on two discs at 45 rpm for maximum audiophile fidelity housed in a gatefold sleeve available in a very limited edition, one-time-only pressing. This edition will also include the complete album on CD.

"Crack The Skye" sold 41,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 11 on The Billboard 200 chart.

MASTODON's 2006 CD, "Blood Mountain", came in with just over 24,000 units — significantly more than the 8,000 first-week tally registered by its predecessor, 2004's "Leviathan" — which put it at No. 32.
