Mastodon are pleased to announce an exclusive pre-order of CRACK THE SKYE, their seven-song strong, Brendan O’Brien-produced opus, which begins today, Feb. 24, exclusively through iTunes. Those who pre-order the album digitally will also be able to immediately download a new album track, “Oblivion.” As a bonus, fans who order now will also receive an exclusive version of “Oblivion” recorded live on the UK’s XFM radio and is not available anywhere else.

ITunes will also offer a special deluxe pre-order package, which includes the CRACK THE SKYE digital album along with the full album presented as a “score,” in its entirety. The instrumental score version will invite fans into a completely unique listening experience that enhances the music’s sonic ebb and flow into a cinematic adventure. The deluxe package will also include the live XFM “Oblivion” track, and an exclusive PDF album booklet file. The downloadable booklet contains album artwork and in-depth explanations of the intricate and otherworldly concept behind CRACK THE SKYE.
