Additional notes
Brann Dailor and Bill Kelilher met the other members at a High on Fire show.
Began as a five-piece with Eric Saner on vocals, who left the band before going on tour. The rest of the band members finished the tour doing vocals, and decided to stay a four-piece.
Scott Kelly from Neurosis (USA) has appeared as a guest vocalist on all of Mastodon''s full length albums since Leviathan in 2004.
They are featured on the Melvins tribute playing the song "The Bit," and are also on a tribute to Metallica''s Master of Puppets, playing "Orion."
Appears on the ATHF film soundtrack with "Cut You Up with a Linoleum Knife"
Mastodon consider each of their full length albums to have a different general theme that doesn't reach as far as a full concept, but their logo and art work for each album represents something different, represented through one of the four elements. Remission represents fire, Leviathan represents water, Blood Mountain represents earth and Crack the Skye represents air (or ether). The symbol a the top middle of their logo changes from album to album.
