MASTODON are currently in the final stages of recording their next album with producer Brendan O?Brien, but to keep them busy the Atlanta quartet have additional plans that will carry them into 2009 before the new release sees the light of day.

Such plans include a spot on Rock Band 2 for the cut “Colony of Birchmen”, from Blood Mountain. The game will be available on several game platforms including Xbox 360 scheduled for release on September 14, PS3 scheduled for  October 19, and Wii scheduled for a November 16, release.
