Relapse To Reissue Call of the Mastodon

Mastodon will also issue Call of the Mastodon, a remixed and remastered collection of their first-ever recording session, in February. Comprised of the first nine tracks the young quartet had ever written, Call of the Mastodon is an audio document of a then-new band finding its own space. Sanders describes Call of the Mastodon as "the first real monster we ever created. It's the original beast laid to tape complete with the dirt and drive". The nine tracks (some of whose original recordings comprised the Lifesblood mini-CD) were remixed and remastered by original engineer Matt Washburn at Atlanta's Ledbelly Sound, and will feature all new packaging courtesy of the band's longtime artist Paul Romano. Call of the Mastodon is set for a February 7th release in North America (January 30th release in Europe).
