Mastodon To Release "Jonah Hex" EP
Following the June 18th opening of the film "Jonah Hex," Reprise Records will release a 6 track EP from Mastodon from the film’s original motion picture score on June 29th, 2010.
"Jonah Hex" features an original score by Reprise recording artists Mastodon and Oscar-nominated composer Mario Beltrami (The Hurt Locker, 3:10 to Yuma). Mastodon were 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." "Jimmy called us out of the blue as a fan,” bassist Troy Sanders told Paste magazine in an interview. "It was the most beautiful, authentic way to collaborate."
Fans will get a chance to hear these new tracks:
Death March (film version)
Clayton Boys (film version)
Indian Theme (film version)
Train Assault (film version)
Death March (alternate version)
Clayton Boys (alternate version)
Mastodon Comments On "Jonah Hex" Score
Mastodon has issued the following statement about creating the musical score for the upcoming movie "Jonah Hex:"
"The new movie Jonah Hex starring Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, and Megan Fox features a thunderous score composed by Mastodon and Oscar nominated Marco Beltrami (The Hurt Locker, 3:10 to Yuma). Mastodon were personally asked by the film’s director, Jimmy Hayward to sore the film.
"For their first venture into the realm of film, Mastodon would record the tracks spontaneously while viewing the movie footage, proving to be a daring and daunting way of creating music together over a short period of time. The resulting sessions yielded incredibly exciting results produced in a completely different way than they normally would approach writing and recording for a Mastodon album. The 6-track EP from the original motion picture score for Jonah Hex will be released on June 29th, featuring four new tracks: 'Death March,' 'Clayton Boys,' 'Indian Theme,' and 'Train Assault' with two bonus versions available through iTunes and all other digital outlets."
