Trailer: Jonah Hex (Scored By Mastodon)
Here is the first trailer for Jonah Hex the film scored by Mastodon starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox. It’s another film adapted from a comic book so chances are it could be bad, but at least there should be a sweet score despite Bret Hinds describing the experience as frustrating with reshoots and changes throughout the film making process.

Mastodon Shoes, God Forbid + Dimmu Borgir Comic Books
As we have mentioned before every Metal band seems to be getting shoes these days. The photos of the Mastodon Vans have been floating around the internet for a couple weeks since being spotted in an ad in Decibal, but we figured better late then never to post about ‘em. High tops and slip ons featuring the artwork of Blood Mountain. The artwork was created by the fantastic Paul Romano. You can check out more of his work at Workhardened.com.
Another trend in the metal world seems to be getting your own comic book, most recently announced were comics from Dimmu Borgir pictured below and God Forbid. Dimmu Borgir’s comic is called Dark Fortress and is the ” first in a series of books influenced by the lyrical, artistic and musical concepts from Nuclear Blast’s polarizing roster of bands translated into the comic medium by the creative teams at Terminal Press.” So we can expect more comics to come.
God Forbid will have a cameo appearance in the comic book “Eternal Descent.” The issue will feature a story line loosely based on their latest album IV: Constitution of Treason. According to SMNnews.com the creator of the comic series has approached several other artists to make appearances as well including Static X, Atreyu and Firewind. I don’t know Firewind, but they are in some bad company alongside Static X and Atreyu. Anyway check out images of the God Forbid comic after the jump.
