Mastodon (band) band for personal reasons after just a couple of months. After recording a four-song demo and a 7-inch picture disc through Reptilian Records, Mastodon landed a record deal with Relapse Records in 2001. Mastodon released the EP "Lifesblood" in 2001, and its first full-length album, "Remission", in 2002, with the singles "March of the Fire Ants" and "Crusher/Destroyer" (which was also featured on "Tony Hawk's Underground"). On each of Mastodon's first three full-length albums the last track was an instrumental composition with a title that related to the Elephant Man. The band's second full-length album, "Leviathan", was released in 2004.
