Release : 2022
The 2022 reissue of Remission revives Mastodon’s ferocious debut in stunning analog form. Pressed on gold nugget vinyl and housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with breathtaking artwork.
Originally released in 2002, Remission announced Mastodon as a force unlike any other. The album fuses sludge heaviness, progressive ideas, and raw emotion into pure fire. Tracks like March of the Fire Ants, Crusher Destroyer, and Trainwreck showcase relentless power. Brann Dailor’s drumming and Brent Hinds’ riffwork set a new bar for technical metal. The artwork by Paul Romano became a modern classic — surreal, detailed, and unforgettable.
This 2022 reissue on gold nugget vinyl elevates the experience both visually and sonically. The gatefold sleeve expands the artwork into a stunning collector’s display. Every groove reveals the analog depth that defines Mastodon’s early sound.
Remission was the spark that ignited their rise toward progressive metal mastery.
For collectors, this reissue is pure gold - literally and musically!
