Mastodon Reveal Release Details For New LP

Metal-heads starving for news about the new release from iconic heavy rockers Mastodon have finally been thrown a bone: the band's just revealed their highly anticipated sixth album, Once More 'Round The Sun, will be hitting shelves and – more likely – iPod's around the nation on Friday 20 June.

The upcoming full-length, recorded in Nashville, sees the band join forces with legendary producer Nick Raskulinecz, who's worked with an impressive array of heavy rock royalty, including Rush, Deftones, Foo Fighters and Alice In Chains.
