Call of the Mastodon ReviewIn order to fully appreciate a band I always make an effort to uncover their older work, thus providing a more complete picture of the group's musical vision. As with any art form, metal music included, the artist(s) most current work is a culmination of previous efforts, the result of a process of revisiting and recrafting .
I can't recall how I came upon "Call of the Mastodon" (or "9 song demo" on my iTunes), but I've had it for some time now and always considered it as worthy of my attention as any of Mastodon's other work. The five songs off of their "Lifesblood" ep first appeared on Call of the Mastodon, along with four other tracks that rank among my favorites, which can only be heard here.
Mastodon in their earliest work was every bit as daring and innovative as anything heard on "Remission" or "Leviathan", and "Call of the Mastodon", originally recorded in 2000, helps demonstrate the process of refinement and musical evolution that the band has undergone. Unlike many 'harder' bands that make it big by toning down their music, taming it for a mainstream audience, "Call of the Mastodon" shows how Mastodon has risen to national acclaim by staying true to their own creative vision.
For newer fans of Mastodon only familiar with "Leviathan", "Call of the Mastodon" offers a more raw and, in regards to song writing, arguably less focused Mastodon. But rest assured that everything there is to love in "Leviathan", and even more so in "Remission", is present on "Call of the Mastodon" - the tehcnical, serpentine guitar work and unique harmonies, the frantic but flawlessly metronomic percussion, and the beastly, passionate cave-man shouts. I think it safe to say that any Mastodon fan will enjoy this release.Call of the Mastodon OverviewThe Call of the Mastodon, a collection of MASTODON'S first-ever forays into the recording studio, exposes the humble beginnings of hard rock's heaviest hitters. The nine tracks laid to tape here, the first the fledgling quartet had ever written, document a band finding its' own voice and place in the musical world. Remixed and remastered by original producer Matt Washburn, and repackaged by the band's longtime artist Paul Romano, The Call of the Mastodon is a vital piece of heavy metal history and the crucial starting point in the still burgeoning MASTODON legacy.--This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
