The band recorded a demo in 2000 with Eric Saner on vocals, who would soon leave the band for personal reasons.

2004 saw the release of "Leviathan," the bands most successful album yet, winning Album of the Year awards from Revolver, Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and Terrorizer magazines.

After signing a new record deal with Warner Bros. Mastodon would release their third studio album, "Blood Mountain." While the album was originally planned to be one large piece of music, it slowly evolved into individual tracks. Towards the end of the year, Mastodon would go on a European tour promoting their new album, opening each show for TOOL.
Currently, the band is touring and promoting their fourth album titled "Crack the Skye," which was released in March of 2009.
