Pre-Order Mastodon’s New CD On iTunes, Starting Today
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Exactly a month before Mastodon’s new CD, “Crack The Skye,” hits stores, the Atlanta rockers are offering up a new digital track (“Oblivion”) from the Brendan O’Brien production if they pre-order the album on iTunes, starting today.
Here’s the pitch from the label: “iTunes will also offer a special deluxe pre-order package, which includes the “Crack The Skye” digital album along with the full album presented as a “score,” in its entirety. The instrumental score version will invite fans into a completely unique listening experience that enhances the music’s sonic ebb and flow into a cinematic adventure. The deluxe package will also include the live XFM “Oblivion” track, and an exclusive PDF album booklet file. The downloadable booklet contains album artwork and in-depth explanations of the intricate and otherworldly concept behind “Crack The Skye.”
On the same day, fans should directly proceed to www.mastodonrocks.com to purchase the second in a series of extremely limited-edition fan packs, which consists of the “Oblivion” single, along with the instrumental “score” version of the track, and an exclusive Oblivion T-shirt that is not available outside this web location. Cost of the fan-pack bundle is $24.99.”
And there you have it — in edited form, actually. Excited about the new Mastodon? Already downloaded “Oblivion” — and if so, your thoughts? Planning to see them at the Scion Rock Fest Saturday at Masquerade Music Park?

Don’t forget to mention the Scion Rock Fest (Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Masquerade), which Mastodon is co-headlining. Plenty of other Atlanta area bands, notably Zoroaster and Harvey Milk, are on the bill as well.
