Lifesblood is the secondEP by Americanmetal bandMastodon. It was released on CD in 2001 and vinyl in 2004 byRelapse Records. The titleLifesblood is derived from a lyric in the song "Trampled Under Hoof", which appears on their debut album,Remission.
Since the EP was only printed for a limited time, it has become rare and sought after by Mastodon fans. The limited prints come in a variety of colors, each with a certain amount produced: 100 clear, 500 red, 500 black, and a second press of 500 blue and black.
Lifesblood features five songs from Mastodon's first release,9 Song Demo, with re-recorded vocals and newly addedsamples. The tracks later appeared on the compilation albumCall of the Mastodon.
The sample at the beginning of "Shadows That Move" is from the filmOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.[4] The sample at the beginning of "Hail to Fire" is from theautobiographical filmThe Dancin' Outlaw byJesco "Jesse" White.[5] The samples at the beginning of "We Built This Come Death" and "Battle at Sea" are taken from recordings of theNuremberg trials.[6]
