Atlanta-based progressive metallers Mastodon will release their sixth album, Once More ‘Round The Sun, via Reprise Records on June 24th. It was recorded in Nashville with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz.

Mastodon have launched a video featuring American artist Skinner, who's work graces the cover of the Mastodon's forthcoming album. The short film showcases a conversation between Brann Dailor and Skinner taking about the genesis of the ideas that would eventually become the cover art. Skinner talks about his longtime appreciation of Mastodon's music that would later inspire his creation of these lurid and iconic images.

The album’s hard-hitting first single is "High Road", which was released digitally on April 29th, the same day a pre-order for Once More ‘Round The Sun launched at all participating digital retailers. Pre-orders are being taken at MastodonRocks.com and all pre-orders will instantly receive a digital download of ‘High Road’.

Also available on June 24th, will be a Deluxe 2LP Vinyl Edition of Once More ‘Round The Sun. This limited edition will include two discs pressed onto 180g black vinyl housed in a quadruple gatefold vinyl jacket featuring artwork by renowned American artist Skinner, plus a CD of the complete album. The package will include four exclusive lithographs derived from the album artwork.

Those who pre-order the Deluxe Vinyl Edition will be entitled to bonus digital content: An instant download of ‘High Road’, plus another album track (to be determined) delivered digitally prior to street date, and a download of the entire album delivered digitally on street date.
