Mastodon’s sixth album, Once More ‘Round The Sun, landed last June via Reprise Records and earned a number 6 spot on Crave’s Top 20 Albums of 2014. The album was recorded in Nashville with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, who is known for his work with Foo Fighters, Rush, Deftones and more. There’s a new album on the way from both bands as well, with Mastodon already sharing studio shots of work on new material.
Mastodon is also featured on HBO’s THE GAME OF THRONES MIXTAPE, Catch the Throne: The Mixtape Vol. 2, which will feature tracks from several artists. Volume 2 will feature Method Man, Snoop Dogg and Yandel, and will transcend genres by adding Grammy-nominated metal bands Mastodon, Anthrax and Killswitch Engage to the mixtape lineup.
Produced by Launch Point Records, the 15-song mixtape features diverse artists representing Game of Thrones families, leveraging themes and highlights from season 4. Showcasing the importance of music in Game of Thrones, each song on the mixtape samples music from the show’s season 4 soundtrack. This year’s mixtape also weaves in the overarching theme of fire and ice, providing listeners with an exciting line-up of heavy metal and hip-hop artists.
