When they're not making cameos on Game of Thrones, Mastodon have been slowly teasing info about a new release for a while now, and today we have concrete details. As we already know, the EP is called Cold Dark Place and will be released on September 22nd via Reprise Records.
Of the four tracks on the EP, three of the tracks ("North Side Star", "Blue Walsh" and "Cold Dark Place") come from the sessions for their 2014 release Once More 'Round the Sun, produced by Nick Raskulinecz. The final track, "Toe to Toes", is a holdover from the recording sessions of their most recent release, Emperor Of Sand, produced by Brendan O'Brien.
Fans who pre-order the album can get "Toe to Toes" as an instant download. Although, it doesn't seem like any pre-orders are live yet. Here is the final tracklisting:
1. North Side Star
2. Blue Walsh
3. Toe to Toes
4. Cold Dark Place
Here's a cool behind-the-scenes video on the making of the cover:
