Mastodon is an American heavy metal band based in Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in January 2000, the band consists of members who play guitar, bass, and drums. The band originally included a vocalist who left after recording their first demo.
Known for their unique blend of progressive metal and sludge metal, Mastodon has gained critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase worldwide. With their intricate musicianship and thought-provoking lyrics, they have released several successful albums throughout their career.
Their discography includes acclaimed albums such as "Leviathan," "Crack the Skye," and "Once More 'Round the Sun." Mastodon's live performances are known for their energy and intensity, making them a must-see act for heavy metal enthusiasts.

Medium Rarities is the first rarities collection from Mastodon covering their entire career. The compilation features one brand new song – “Fallen Torches”. It also includes a bevy of classic covers, soundtrack contributions, instrumentals, B-sides, and live recordings on one complete package for the very first time. Among an eclectic array of covers, the musicians tackle “A Commotion” by Feist, “A Spoonful Weighs A Ton” by The Flaming Lips, “Atlanta” by Butthole Surfers, and “Orion” by Metallica. It also features soundtrack cuts such as “White Walker” [from the Game of Thrones inspired mix tape] and the soundtrack song “Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife” [Aqua Teen Hunger Force]. Meanwhile, they get under the hood with instrumental versions of “Asleep in the Deep,” “Toe To Toes,” “Jaguar God,” and “Halloween.”

The limited edition double LP is pressed on pink vinyl.
