In addition to standard 2-LP vinyl and 2-CD packages, the band is offering up vinyl and CD box sets that include a Blu-Ray with over two-and-a-half hours of video content including: Crack the Skye: The Movie ; The Making of Crack the Skye ; and 15th anniversary animations.

The box set also houses extras such as a new 24-inch poster, a sheet with four individual custom designed magnets, and a 12-page booklet. All editions feature re-imagined artwork from Mastodon’s longtime collaborator Paul Romano. Pre-orders are ongoing .

Crack the Skye proved to be a turning point for the band, which infused their southern sludge metal sound with prog on the 2009 effort. It was also Mastodon’s biggest brush with commercial success at the time and marked the band’s first Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200.

Mastodon are currently on the road celebrating a different album anniversary: 20 years of Leviathan . The co-headlining run with Lamb of God still has a few more dates on the books (get tickets here ), including a concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Wednesday (August 21st).
