Call of the Mastodon
Call of the Mastodon is a compilation of early recordings of the metal band Mastodon. It was released on February 7, 2006, by Relapse Records.
The album contains alternate re-ordered versions of all the songs from their early EPs Lifesblood and Slick Leg. It also includes the track "Call of the Mastodon", which previously only appeared on their demo release 9 Song Demo. The Japanese release contains a bonus live version of "Where Strides the Behemoth" from their debut album Remission.
This was their final release on Relapse; they subsequently signed to Warner Music.
In a documentary on the making of Crack the Skye, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds referred to Call of the Mastodon as their first studio album. This sentiment was also echoed by Bill Kelliher when he appeared on Loudwire's 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction'.Track listing
