Also available at the same location are pictures and videos from the recording sessions for Mastodon's new album, "Blood Mountain", tentatively due in August via Warner Bros.
As previously reported, "Remastered" was packaged with a special issue of Kerrang! commemorating the 20th anniversary of "Master of Puppets".

Mastodon's third album, "Blood Mountain", is being recorded with Seattle-based producer Matt Bayles (Isis, Horse The Band). The CD will be mixed later in the month in New York by Rich Costey (Audioslave, My Chemical Romance). Songtitles set to appear on the follow-up to 2004's "Leviathan" include "Circle of Cysquatch", "Hunters of the Sky", "The Sleeping Giant", "Bladecatcher", "The Colony of Birchmen", "Pendulous Skin", "The Siberian Divide", "Capillarian Crest", "Hand of Stone", "Crystal Skull", "The Wolf Is Loose" and "This Mortal Soil".
