Following a nine-song demo in 2000 and an EP in 2001, the quartet released a full-length called <i>Remission</i> in 2002. But it was the <i>Moby Dick</i>-themed <i>Leviathan</i> (2004) that gained them national recognition, and after their third record (<i>Call of the Mastodon</i>, a compilation of early material) appeared in 2006, the band switched from Relapse Records to Warner Bros. and released <i>Blood Mountain</i> later that year. <i>Blood Mountain</i> garnered Mastodon a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance. With appearances in video-game soundtracks, on late-night TV shows and at countless festivals -- not to mention the well-deserved respect they have in metal circles -- Mastodon represent one of the very high points of the extreme music genre. - Mike McGuirkProgressive Metalen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:05:55 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.57228&rws=%2Fmastodon%2Fmusic-videos.rss Formed by drummer Brann Dailor and guitarist Bill Keliher after meeting at a High On Fire show in 1999, Mastodon have turned heads, damaged eardrums, resurrected the twin guitar sorcery of Thin Lizzy and gotten themselves nominated for a Grammy while putting out records that perennially crack the top 10 in critics' year-end best-of polls.
