The story is that Jonah Hex director Jimmy Hayward called up Mastodon saying he is a huge fan and that it was their album Blood Mountain that inspired him while writing the script. The band came to LA following their European tour and recorded for minimal pay. “I guarantee an incredibly popular misconception will be, 'Oh my god, they're selling out doing a fucking comic-book movie,'" Mastodon bassist Troy Sanders says. "The fact is the exact opposite. We sacrificed another two weeks away from home to give away an album's worth of material for nothing in return but satisfaction in being a part of something incredible."
