This will be Mastodon's first headlining European tour in support of their groundbreaking new album, Crack The Skye, which the U.K.'s Rocksound Magazine just named their 2009 Album Of The Year!
Mastodon's fans can't seem to get enough of their favorite band. As their coast-to-coast U.S. co-headline tour with Dethklok, High On fire and Converge draws to a close, a brand new, limited version of their current album Crack The Skye will become available online only. The last limited edition item sold out well in advance of the on-sale date.
To accommodate the demand from fans for more, the band wanted to create another exclusive item for those who may have been left out. Thus, the Royal Edition of Crack The Skye will contain the album in it entirety along with the complete version of the album score. This ultra special edition comes housed in gold foil embossed Digi-book package with all new gold and black logo artwork designed by Paul Romano. The package also contains an exclusively designed 6"x 6" artwork lithograph available in this package only, plus the bonus instantly downloadable versions of "Divinations," and "Colony Of Birchen," (both recorded live from XFM UK). Pre-orders of the Royal Edition are available right now through Mastodonrocks.com only and will begin shipping on December 15, 2009.
