MASTODON COLLABORATE WITH VANS TO CREATE ORIGINAL SHOES;
CRACK THE SKYE NOW AVAILABLE ON COLORED VINYL

Burbank, CA-
June 9, 2009 – (Burbank, CA) – Starting today, Tuesday, June 9, MASTODON fans will finally have the opportunity to watch the amazing new mini-epic video for “OBLIVION,” from their new album, CRACK THE SKYE. The clip was directed by the famed Roboshobo and is viewable on MySpace. Go to: http://www.myspace/mastodon.

As you may have heard, MASTODON is in the shoe business. The Mighty MASTODON have teamed up with their favorite active lifestyle company, Vans, to create four distinctive shoe styles featuring Paul Romano’s artwork from their Blood Mountain album. The Vans X Mastodon “Blood Mountain” will be available this summer — sold in footwear shops worldwide, Vans stores, and on www.vans.com.

MASTODON formed in 1999 in Atlanta and has basically lived on the road ever since, touring with such acts as Iron Maiden and Slayer. The artwork used in this package is from the band’s highly successful third album, “Blood Mountain,” which was released in 2006 and includes the band’s hit single, “Colony of Birchmen.” Rare is the band that achieves such critical acclaim coupled with the level of fan support that MASTODON have. Their “blue collar” touring ethic has earned them continuous accolades from fans who have grown accustomed to their accessibility, approachability, and dedication as a working man’s band. This fall, Vans salutes MASTODON with four shoe styles including a Sk8-Hi and Classic Slip-On featuring “Blood Mountain” cover art, as well as a black and gray "Blade Catcher" Sk8-Hi and Classic Slip-On. These are guaranteed to sell fast, so do not hesitate to seek them out. Check out www.vans.com for more info.

Lastly, CRACK THE SKYE is now available on a limited-edition color vinyl pressing. The beautiful gold and red 12” disc is moving fast so head immediately to www.mastodonrocks.com and www.cracktheskye.com to avoid disappointment. More MASTODON limited-edition artifacts, not available anywhere else, will be announced soon.
