The band made a special appearance on Game Of Thrones, with band members Brann Dailor, Bill Kelliher, and Brent Hinds playing White Walkers in the final episode of the season, “The Dragon and the Wolf,” marking the second time the band have been invited to participate as extras in the show.

Three band members made their screen debut as wildlings in episode 8 of season 5, “Hardhome,” which premiered May 31, 2015.

Not to mention Mastodon's new EP is set to be released Sept. 22, with a limited-edition 10-inch vinyl picture disk set to be released Oct. 27.
