Mastodon reveals 2009 album details

Atlanta-based metal quartet Mastodon has revealed that the title of its anticipated fourth album will be Crack the Skye. Reprise will release the seven-track, 50-minute record in early 2009. The song sequence is built around a four-movement centerpiece, entitled "The Czar," which delves into the album's overall theme of Czarist Russia.

The band is currently traveling internationally for the Unholy Alliance Tour. Next summer, it will set off for a two-month circuit of western Europe with Metallica. Dates, and album info, below.
