While we don’t have any more information that what Mastodon said on their Facebook page, it looks like they’ll be writing and recording a new song for the forthcoming sequel to the Pixar film Monsters, Inc., which is titled Monsters University. The film is slated to be released on June 21, 2013.
If you would have told me 10 years ago after hearing “March of the Fire Ants” for the first time that one day Mastodon would be providing a song for a Pixar movie, I wouldn’t have believed you for as second. And while the band’s contribution might not be as great as the opening to the Aqua Teen movie, it’ll almost have to be better than their Jonah Hex soundtrack.
