Mastodon is one of the new breed of metal bands from the US. They created waves in the metal community with the EP Lifesblood, released in 2001, just over a year after the band’s formation in 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The band appeals to fans of both hardcore and extreme metal, while combining elements of progressive music and beyond. Mastodon was first signed to Reptilian Records in 2000, shortly after recording their demo. Soon after this and the release of a little-known EP called “Slick Leg,” however, the band was signed to Relapse Records - the label on which Mastodon’s most critically acclaimed work was released: Lifesblood, an EP in 2001; Remission, the band’s first full length album in 2002 and Leviathan, in 2004. (A concept album based around Herman Melville’s classic book, Moby Dick. This album featured more art work of Paul Romano.)
It was announced, in late 2005, that, having fulfilled contractual obligations to indie label, Relapse Records, Mastodon had been offered a deal by a major music label, a spot on the Warner Music roster alongside such bands as Green Day and My Chemical Romance. Despite this, however, Relapse Records released a DVD, and re-released the band’s only demo.
An album titled Call of the Mastodon, comprising the material recorded for the band’s first and only untitled demo, which featured Eric Saner on vocals, was released in early 2006.

Saw these guys in San Jose. Awesome show, great band. Not a big progressive metal guy, but these dudes rock the shit. Video display while the band is playing makes getting lit before the show a must.
