Content
Call of the Mastodon contains the same nine songs as Mastodon's first release, 9 Song Demo; however, the compilation features re-recorded versions of the songs (the same recordings which appeared on the band's early EPs Slick Leg and Lifesblood).[3] For this reason, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds referred to Call of the Mastodon as the band's first studio album in a documentary on the making of Crack the Skye. This sentiment was also echoed by Bill Kelliher when he appeared on Loudwire's 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction'.[4]
