Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON will release a new live DVD/CD, "Live At The Aragon", on March 15 via Reprise. The set was filmed/recorded during the band's October 17, 2009 concert at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois and it features a performance of the "Crack The Skye" album, along with other tracks from MASTODON's back catalog, plus a MELVINS cover.

MASTODON's setlist for the show was as follows:

01. Oblivion 
02. Divinations 
03. Quintessence 
04. The Czar 
05. Ghost of Karelia 
06. Crack The Skye 
07. The Last Baron 
08. Circle of Cysquatch 
09. Aqua Dementia 
10. Where Strides The Behemoth 
11. Mother Puncher 
12. The Bit (MELVINS cover)

A super-deluxe, super-limited-edition version of MASTODON's latest album, "Crack The Skye", was released on November 26, 2010 via Metal Club,
a group of record stores throughout the U.S. and Canada that work to
connect the vibrant metal community with their local record store. Only
600 of these sets were made. This version came housed in a hardbox case
featuring a third-dimension wormhole design that contains exclusive and
additional album art by long-time MASTODON artist Paul Romano. Inside is a full-length "Crack The Skye" CD plus a DVD on the "Making Of Crack The Skye" with photo gallery, track-by-track band commentary and more, by director Jimmy Hubbard. 

MASTODON last fall completed the BlackDiamondSkye tour with ALICE IN CHAINS and DEFTONES. The trek was named after each of the three bands' latest albums � ALICE IN CHAINS' "Black Gives Way To Blue", DEFTONES' "Diamond Eyes" and MASTODON's "Crack The Skye".

MASTODON's six-song EP, "Jonah Hex", was released on June 29 via Reprise Records. The effort featured an original score by MASTODON and Oscar-nominated composer Mario Beltrami ("The Hurt Locker", "3:10 to Yuma"). MASTODON was asked to create the score personally by the film's director, Jimmy Hayward, who was inspired by repeated listenings of MASTODON's 2006 album, "Blood Mountain".

	Apart from the CtS stuff I'd change just about every song from that setlist (luckily they played for example The Wolf is Loose and Blood and Thunder when I saw them), but I'm still interested. Brann said somewhere that he could listen to the vocals all the way through without cringing, so I guess they surpassed themselves in that area.
