Mastodon only released their most recent album, Emperor of Sand, back at the end of March. But it seems the Atlanta four-piece rock band have found themselves in a particularly creative place, and have announced a new EP, Cold Dark Places. The record is due out September 22nd via Reprise and features four previously unreleased tracks.
Of the material on the EP, three of the songs — "North Side Star", "Blue Walsh", and "Cold Dark Place" - were originally created when the band was working on their 2014 album, One More ‘Round the Sun. The final track "Toe to Toes" was initially intended to be a part of Emperor of Sand.
Last night, Mastodon cameoed once again on HBO's Game of Thrones. In the season 7 finale "The Dragon & The Wolf", the band make fleeting appearances as members of the dreaded undead White Walker army, shuffling their way slowly south to meet the living in battle. They made their first appearance in Westeros in 2015 as wildlings who lost their lives fighting that same White Walker army. It would appear the metal monsters have been turned by the Night King...
Perhaps we all should have guessed as much when Mastodon contributed to the show's musical series two years ago on Catch the Throne: The Mixtape Vol. 2. The title of their track? "White Walker".
Cold Dark Places Tracklist:
1. North Side Star
2. Blue Walsh
3. Toe to Toes
4. Cold Dark Place
