Mastodon Perform on "Late Show With David Letterman" & Crack the Charts!

On Tuesday, September 27th, Atlanta's Art Rock masters Mastodon released their fifth studio album titled "The Hunter" via Reprise/Warner Bros and the reaction of the public so far is very promising for the band. The album actually debuted at the No. 10 spot on the Billboard charts after moving 39,000 units in its first week, marking their highest charting release to date.
