MASTODON To Contribute New Song To 'Monsters University' Animated Film - Dec. 4, 2012

Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON are writing and recording a song for the upcoming animated film "Monsters University".

Due out June 21, 2013, "Monsters University" is the prequel to 2001's "Monsters, Inc." Billy Crystal and John Goodman reprise their roles in the prequel as the wise-cracking Mike Wazowski and lovable Sulley.

MASTODON contributed several original songs to the score to the 2010 motion picture "Jonah Hex" as a collaboration with Oscar-nominated composer Mario Beltrami ("The Hurt Locker", "3:10 to Yuma"). MASTODON was 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".

MASTODON's latest album, "The Hunter", came out in September 2011 through Reprise Records.

Mastodon can do no wrong. Pixar and Metal? What can go wrong?

Mastodon can't play their instruments, that's why they write songs for children and tone deaf idiots

Writing for movies remains one of the few well-paid endeavor a band can get into.

I guess none of you here has bands, has recording contracts or tours all year-long with a band. I guess that when music is a hobby it's ok to go against everything. When it's your career you're doing everything to make it go well and proper. Mastodon prospers, like it or not!

Good for Mastodon. Wish them well. Can't wait until their next cd!
